Printrbot Metal Plus Pulley Shroud

thingiverse

This is a shroud to go over the Printrbot Metal Plus' Y-axis pulleys, helpful if you have a heated bed and have any concerns about the wires getting caught in the belts. Please note the stl is slightly different from the photo. In my original design it used one screw and two holes on the inside to keep it from moving side to side - this new design is simpler and has a little hook at the top to keep it from moving around. Additionally, I made the mounting tab 1mm thick to avoid having to replace the screw, but I was concerned repeat vibrations/etc... could cause it to fail. You will need a M3, 10mm long screw to replace one of the y-axis motor's mounting screws, as the thickness of the bottom tab is 4mm thick, original screw is 6mm long. When installing you will need to place it halfway, spread it slightly to get the "clips" around the sheet metal. The motor shaft will get in the way of sliding it on otherwise.
