Qidi Tech X-Max side panel thermal insulation

prusaprinters

<p>Why?</p><p>I wanted to have an acoustic and mainly thermal insulation of the thin plastic side panels of the Qidi Tech X-Max which doesn't look like a giant black foam plate, that has been bungled and glued onto the panels</p><p>Features:</p><ul><li>Looks so much better than foam</li></ul><p>Requirements / Mounting:</p><ul><li>I printed them using PETG because it handled the thin walls best and its flexibility caused one useful effect: the EVA foam plates bend the walls slightly outwards, providing a &nbsp;jamming effect inside the Qidi's side panels fixing them without glue</li><li>Cut out a corresponding piece of foam (I used EVA foam from a kids puzzle mat because of its stability, bright colors and insulation properties)</li><li>Push it inside the frames</li><li>Clamp the plates inside the Qidi's side panels (see photographs)</li></ul><p>Hope you like it, comments and feedback as always very much appreciated… :-)</p>
