UPDATE: The build plates for the new A1 are identical to those used in the X1 and P1 series machines. It should also work fine for the A1 Mini.I wound up with allot of build plates. I looked at some designs that were already available and chose to make my own. I definitely made it more complicated than it needed to be but i am really happy with the result.My design has two benefitsThe first benefit is that it is modular. You can print one that holds 2 4 6 8 or however many you need but it is also tileable. This means if you print the 4 plate holder then decide you need two more plates, you can print a 2 plate holder and tie them together with the connector and some m3 countersunk screws.The second benefit is how it staggers and offsets the plate. One plate will be lower than the one next to it but stick out further. This makes it easy to retrieve the plate you want.Everything prints without support.
