The Sidekick stand works for both the Ace-pro and the Ace-pro 2

NEW: 2026-6-16 Added a universal version of the Sidekick stand which works with both the Ace pro 1 and the Ace pro 2. Please download and use the files "Sidekick stand Universal". The only change is the removal of the pads and modification of the top profile on the left and right cabinet (with thedrawers)- no need to reprint the rest. I also added the straight drawer fronts to the 3mf as they were the preferred choice - the slanted ones are also on the 3mf but as option. Lastly, I added the Ace pro 2 base to the 3mf along with the Ace pro 1 so pick the one you want (see lables on the plates). I have left all other versions there for backward compatibility. I have verified the design but have not test printed it. If there are any issues please let me know so that I may correct them. Thank you.

NEW 2026-5-27 Added an Ace 2 rollout base (this is for the latest version - Ace 2). It is the same as the original one but updated for the Ace 2. The rollout is included with the "Project Ace 2 rollout base 2026-5-27"

NEW: Added an Ace-pro V1 to Ace-pro V2 adapter. Free to download on Makeronline: https://www.makeronline.com/en/model/Ace-pro%201%20to%20Ace-pro%202%20Adapter/279394.html?trackModuleType=10

NEW: The model offers two types of drawer front, vertical and slanted. The main print profile has the slanted drawers as I felt it would add a little something to the design. If you want vertical drawers please use the print profile "Anycubic non-slanted drawers.3mf"

Two Ace-pros can be connected to the K3, K3 max or S1. The Dual Ace-Pro SIDEKICK stand was designed to offer you the choice of where and how to set up your 2nd Ace-Pro.

The Dual Ace-Pro SIDEKICK stand offers you the ideal solution and features:

Stack two Ace-Pros - the model features a screw-on slide-out drawer to enable the bottom Ace-Pro to be rolled out for easy maintenance and filament change;

Two large drawers with GRID-FINITY style compartments (the compartments can be downloaded for free on Makeronline);

Filament storage rack;

Build plate holder for two or more buildplates;

Side mounted tool tray (can be can be downloaded for free on Makeronline);

Side mounted External spool holder (can be downloaded for free on Makeronline);

TECHNICAL SPECS AND INFO

• The build requires about 1.75 spools of filament.
• PLA and PETG are fine. The design is very rugged so no need to use ABS or ASA.
• The assembled height is a little under 600 mm (24 inches) with closed lid
• If you wish to use the pull-out drawer you will need 4x no. 6 wood screw 5/8" long (metric: 3.5mm dia x 16mm long)

INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: I have included a print profile (3mf file) for the base unit with all the required parts. I strongly recommend you use this as the parts are correctly oriented and optimized for printing. I have painted support and it is designed to use TREE MANUAL settings.

I have also uploaded individual STL files for the parts.

ASSEMBLY

A Gif assembly video with the model description photos shows how to assemble the Ace-overhead. I also uploaded a zip with the assembly photos.
