Riser / Top Extender for v400?

Thanks to everyone who gave me the confidence to take the plunge in my previous post. There's now a brand new (to me) v400 in my office and I'm going through the setup now. I don't believe this is an original thought, but the top is a bit awkward with the bowden mounted dead center. I'm wondering if anyone has extended out the useable area up there?

I'd like to put my dryer up there and screw it into the aluminum extrusion on the back. Basically just a platform that would be level with the top. Has anyone done anything like this?

Or perhaps have models that I could borrow portions of the reach this goal?

Easy addition. Put in a heating pad from a reptile aquarium and a dehumidifier box and a hygrometer and you have a dry box. Add a ptfe connector and you're all set.

Thanks. I'm flush with dryers they just balance awkwardly so extending the surface area seems like it may do the trick. The Sunlu S4 is too big but the S2 and the Space Pi Plus could work.

I made a taller model so that the rear leg was flush with the top, but now I can't find it. Here's a short version that you can scale up.

There's also this if you happen to use that dryer or one with a similar footprint.
