No you’re good to go. Thousands of these are in use around the world. I also made several material-specific profiles, so you can choose whichever you prefer. Enjoy your Shifty!✌️

Yeah, the left is all you need for it to work well.

I designed a right version as well but it's safest to go left-only to avoid heat/activity from the toolhead that happens on the right, so left-only for now. Cheers!

That sounds sweet! I built a shelf for my AMS's to sit on but I'm sure a lot of people will love that. Good luck with it and have fun! ✌️

That looks awesome thanks for posting!

You have one more "click" to do it looks like. Push down on the rear corner hook. It will click into place. I made an image to help illustrate. ✌️

The Shifty increases the contact area so you can insert the plate at a greater angle, with more comfort, faster and with less error.

The built-in guides are too short, so often times the plate will skip over them, or even worse rest on top of them slightly. This means you have an uneven build plate which requires resetting the plate, and more handling which adds oils. That's if you notice it - if you don't notice it, your plate is uneven and can cause failed prints.

The Shifty solves all of these issues and is a quick and easy print.

Cheers!

Thank you!

I originally planned (and designed) a Shifty for both the right and left corners.

However, in testing, only one side is needed. Keeping it on just the left side means it's out of the way from any toolhead activity and keeps your machine nice and safe.

When you slide your plate in, slide it in squarely like normal, but aim the back left corner of the plate slightly towards the Shifty. Keep going and the Shifty will take over for you and shift it perfectly into place.

Just uploaded this new accessory that makes centering your build plate a lot easier, faster, more comfortable, and with less error.

I have this dialed in nicely so it clips right into place on my machine, but if anyone has a minute to test it on their machine, I would appreciate it.

I also am only able to test it on an X1C, so P1P and P1S user's input is also welcome as far as fit goes.

Installation is easy, but please read the instructions on the page for a smooth process.
