Prusa i3 MK3 angled heatbed cable cover

thingiverse

This thing replaces the original Prusa i3 MK3 heatbed cable cover, and changes the orientation of the heatbed cable so that it does not crash into the back of an an Ikea LACK enclosure (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2864118). Not a remix, but a mashup of other designs including the Original Prusa i3 MK3 design, and other angled heatbed cable covers for the Prusa i3 MK3, including https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2837970, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2890592, and especially https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2964580 by T1miverse. As T1miverse notes in his design, "The cables are a very tight fit, but with some effort they'll fit." I was uncomfortable with the amount of stress put on the connectors by the design, and so decided to develop a design with more room in the interior of the cover. The cover connects with the heatbed from beneath with an M3x10 screw. Using 2 washers should result in the tip of the screw protruding less that 1 mm above the top of the cover. The clip then connects using M3x10 or M3x12 screws. I printed the cover using eSUN ABS+, but any temperature resistant material (PETG, ABS, etc.) should be acceptable. **Modified cover to block heat bed LED** Some folks find the flashing LED on the heatbed to be annoying.

I've remixed and attached a version that closes the gap. Print in a light color and you have a flashing glow instead of a harsh light. Print in solid black and the light is gone altogether. Can you please post this version with your Thing Files? Good idea! I've added Mr_Tantrum's file, Cable_Cover_LightBlock.stl, to the thing files.
