<p>Prusa i3 MK3S+ default z-screw-covers are easily forgotten and a pain to install after the fact. They're also a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the printer. These replacements put the original thread knobs into a better overall package.</p><h5>Key design improvements/features:</h5><ul><li>Provides <strong>complete coverage</strong> to keep dust and debris out of z-axis mount.</li><li><strong>Installable whenever</strong> during printer assembly.</li><li>Stylish and sturdy!</li></ul><h5>Print and installation:</h5><ol><li>Print (in whatever material and color you'd like; I used PETG).</li><li>Fit larger piece of collar around the z-axis screw, adjusting the thread knobs for a flush fit.</li><li>Slid the smaller piece into place, ensuring thread knobs. It should “settle” in tight when the knobs find home and you get both pieces of the collar aligned.</li><li>Rotate assembled collar until the top is roughly flush with top surface of z-motor mount and it becomes difficult to adjust by hand.</li><li>If desired, make final height adjustments by pushing/pulling tiny holes with the tiny Allen wrench.</li></ol>
