X-Axis Rollers Cover + Chain attachment + Lip

thingiverse

**Update 03-10-2020**: I've used the [Ender 3 Pro X-axis Cover with Lip](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4578816) by [dafunda](https://www.thingiverse.com/dafunda/) to make V2. Their remix has a nice lip, so this should make the cover a lot more sturdy (see the first picture). You'll need to reprint Part B as well as I had to shorten it a little bit since I changed the placement if the chain attachment. The new files are named: - `X-Axis Cover - Chain attachment + Lip.stl` - `X-Axis Cover - Chain attachment + Lip - Part B.stl` This time no `.3mf` files since the `Part B` one is pretty much the same but made shorter and I forgot to save the `.3mf` for the actual cover. To be frank, all I did was take the `.stl` from dafunda and added the chain attachment from the original `.3mf`, tested it, tweaked it, tested it again, released it. --- I really liked the [X-axis rollers cover](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4050465) by [FilBer](https://www.thingiverse.com/filber), however, I was using a remixed version of the [hot end chain connection](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3802593) by [Littlefiver](https://www.thingiverse.com/littlefiver) and I couldn't use both at the same time. To resolve this issue I've remixed the reinforced hot end mount onto the x-axis roller and sliced the connection piece. Now the rollers are covered and I can still attach my chain, making it all look very sleek. Please leave a make or a comment if you printed this yourself. Thank you! ## Printing Make sure you print both parts it as shown in the screen shots. You will need a decently calibrated machine with well defined acceleration, otherwise the fit will be quite loose. Part B does not require supports. It's just a boring clip. ;) ## Assembly You'll need a single M3 bolt around 12mm. Longer is possible as you can just screw it through the entire length, but shorter will look nicer. After that, it's just a matter of attaching the chain to the hook. This will take some force so make sure that you don't break your chain link. The mount should be more than strong enough. ## How I Designed This Imported all the STLs into Microsoft's 3D builder, split things up and just tweak it until it looked decent and worked on my machine. I've included the 3MF files if someone else wants to perfect this design.
