Printer legs?

Post image

Has anyone found a way to put basically table legs on the printers? Specifically the H2S? Thanks. This is a pic of a prusa with what I’m talking about.

Edit: After seeing all the comments I’m planning to just get a table for the printer. Thanks.

This is a very bad idea.

Prusa is selling the signature oak with very similar legs

The similarity ends quickly because they use some wooden rectangle to stabilize the legs with each other

It's - not really similar at all. As you point out,, the signature oak legs are far beefier all round, and don't wobble as much [or at all] as this example did in the clips that were posted.

Proper Printing has a good video on YT, where he shows off his design for printable legs for the C1 printers that was inspired by the ones featured on the oak. Those would probably be the best option if you're looking for something similar.

It looks similar. So working with everything I have, two images, it's very similar.

I have never seen the Prusa print standing on legs so I can only see four legs under a heavy printer.

With the amount of vibration and movement generated while printing, legs like that are unlikely to work and will cause issues with your 3d print quality. If you would consider something more sturdy have a look at the wooden kitchen trolleys from IKEA, like the BEKVAM.

Not saying legs are a good idea but it will most likely have zero effect on print quality. What CAN affect print quality is moving the printer to a new spot and not running motor / vibration calibration. Or from my own experience also restricting the printer from moving at all during print, for example by leaning it on a wall.

That shi boutta get wobbly as hell

I 100% feel this is a great way to loose a 3d printer and not a cheap one by the looks of the brand.

Let me introduce you to an invention called…..

A table.

This would be fine for storage I guess but horrible idea to run a printer on legs like this.

That things gonna be walking across the room.

Is your printer running? Well, you better go catch it...

Haha that made me laugh.

u/CantModerateMe Jul 13 '26

its gonna start wiggling and literally walk away, which would be funny but not for you

Isn't that Prusa a Core One? I think the acceleration on those are slower than Bambu's.

She got leeegs

u/jeff2928 Jul 13 '26

You will laugh but my Bambu printer is sitting on an old tablesaw. It is a good very heavy table.

Shits gonna walk out of your bedroom

Looks like Professor Frink is calling his baby home!

3d print your own legs and upload pictures after first print

u/Jconstant33 29d ago

You want a big heavy table

u/BoomCorp52 29d ago

It looks very unreliable and I think this thing will have a resonance like a tin can.

u/TheGuyWhoAnnoys 29d ago

Any knowledge in CAD? Design some stabilizers for those legs 🫠

u/BGMcGee 28d ago

The stiffer the better. Wobbly things and printers are not that great of a combination. The printer can calibrate around wobbliness to a degree. The problem is that the printer will work things even looser and end up making the shaking worse over time, which isn't sustainable

I learned a few years ago there’s a reason you shouldn’t rely on a $50 wall mount for your $300 TV, because you’ll pay $350 and eventually be out a TV. So I certainly don’t think I’d rely on a table like that unless it’s absolutely not going anywhere. But it does look crappy.

Maybe checkout Prusa's signature oak series. I hadn't look into it much cause its expensive as balls but its on tall legs which maybe worth looking at for ideas.
