I really, really wanted this to work. On the one hand, it did give me a few millimeters more of space. On the other, it wasn't enough. There was still enough room for a standard sheet of printer paper to stay between the glass and the cables, if only barely. I thought it would be okay, but then the calibration failed on the Y-axis (see my pictures). When I pulled the machine forward more, the calibration passed, but the enclosure doors wouldn't shut completely. I probably could have just removed the LCD, but then the machine wouldn't be easily removable and I've just installed the quick-release cables to make that possible. Besides, the X-carriage cables now touch the newly re-positioned cables. Not enough to make the self-tests fail, but enough that I'm worried about prints being affected. I'm going to just bite the bullet and install the 60 degree cover from the original suggestion.
Great idea. Good model. Ineffective solution. I appreciate the effort, though. I'm glad I tried it. It was worth the 30 minute print and filament on the chance it would work.
Printed with PETG Prusa
I used Inland PETG+ Translucent Blue.
