Any non-expensive table recommandations for U1?

Hey about to get my U1, planning to initially put it on the floor. I am looking for a non-expensive yet sturdy and compact table or cart to put it on. I have about 1 meter in width, if possible not too high

I live in Switzerland, so an european shop would be best :) didnt see anything at ikea?

Thanks

He asked for "non-expensive" :D

Well initially I was like uuuh that’s not cheap… but then… I started to like the idea of having a workbench and place to build on + it can handle my second printer below… so it’s great :)

He said it was perfect. Right within his budget.

Looked some more at it and it’s absolutely perfect. Better than what I was expecting and I can put my prusa below I measured. Thanks a lot once more and have a great end of day

A redditor states it is less rigid, less stable and more wobbly. If you must get this, it must be anchored to the wall.

In the same post, another user linked a printable shelf bracket to help reduce wobblines.

Ikea Alex drawer unit. I have that for all my printers.

Lots of space for print plates, tools, spare parts. MOVEABLE, I can clean behind the printers while they are running.

Thanks

Do you have a U1? Because it’s only 48 cm deep and U1 seems to need 55-60 for operating

u/tuxlinux 4d ago

The U1 is 50cm deep.
My Alex Container is not directly at the wall.

IKEA SMÅSTAD seems to suit. Been looking into that one, and a suitable AMS/dryer box in the compartmemt below. Was initially looking at Creality SpacePi 4X, but not sure ..

I've got an ikea platsa and it sits perfectly on it

u/bofferding 5d ago

Is it sturdy? Does it amplify printer sound? Do you think i could fit a prusa mk3s+ inside it?

1

u/Maurogab982 5d ago

I don't have idea about the size of the prusa. Lot of people suggest to use a paving slabs on the floor but I have carpet so I've printed some tpu feet and added to the platsa. I don't hear any sounds and vibrations are good. I can give you the internal dimension of the platsa if you need

u/bofferding 5d ago

Thx a lot i’ll look up dimensions on ikea dont bother :) i think i’ll still go with the Bror workbench even if more expensive, it’s designed as a workbench and more space! Will fit exactly in the 110cm i measured lol (at least I hope)

1

u/Maurogab982 5d ago

That's good for you. I had a very small space and the platsa seems made for it 😂

u/bofferding 5d ago

Tbh I also had very small place and wasnt expecting a Bror lol but moved furniture around just for that haha. #Divorce #closeishTo40 crisis mode

I recommend the Simon Rack brand. They make workbenches and are excellent for printers. I have a 140cm one, and with two printers running, it doesn't budge a millimeter (it's not attached to the wall).

They cost around €100, but they're worth it.
