Attachable figures

Requirement

Problem

Users may want low-risk personalization without editing functional parts.

Why now

This can be a low-risk Launchpad category once safe attachment zones are defined.

Exact requirement

Create decorative figure mounts that attach to non-load-bearing areas and do not change slot alignment.

Compatibility

Only after A1 safe attachment zones and size/weight limits are defined.

Release Gate

Mounting locations are marked safe and tested through full travel.

Acceptance criteria

• Mounts only to non-functional cosmetic or frame-safe areas.
• Cannot loosen into the toolhead, bed, cutter, or slot bank.
• Includes size and weight limits for submitted Launchpad figures.

Launch assets

• Mount-interface template.
• Reference figure STL/3MF once validated.
• Launchpad submission checklist.

Prototype Plan

Define a simple mount interface for decorative objects and test it through full toolhead, bed, and slot movement.

Next build steps

• Design one standard decorative mount interface.
• Create a small reference figure and one blank adapter.
• Test the mount through full printer travel and a real filament change.

Measurements needed

• Maximum figure size and mass by mount location.
• Minimum clearance to the moving bed, toolhead, and PTFE tubes.
• Retention force needed to survive repeated swaps without permanent mounting.

Safety Boundaries

• Must not mount to slot calibration surfaces, PTFE couplings, toolhead drive parts, or the cutter path.
• Must not loosen into the bed, toolhead, rear slot row, or electronics area.
• Must include size and weight limits for community submissions.
