X-Carve Wide Y-Axis Dust Covers

thingiverse

I took inspiration from Phraust and attempted to print his y-axis dust covers to use on my machine, but I had two problems. I upgraded the y-axis extrusions on my machine to the 40mm Wide Makerslide for greater strength and rigidity. Additionally, the curves did not quite line up on my machine. So, using Phraust's design as a starting point, I started from scratch and created these covers that stop just above the y-axis belts. You will need 14 each 6mm neodymium ball magnets. You can find them pretty much anywhere, but make sure you are getting 6mm (often times sellers will try to sell you SAE sizes claiming that they are metric, but they are NOT one in the same). The magnets will require a bit of force to seat, so I had to use a piece of scrap aluminum bar to press them in. Because these are magnetic, they make maintenance easy. If you found this useful, tips help me cover time and expenses. Thanks and enjoy!
