@Jiheffe Thank you for the review. It looks great.

Absolutely awesome design! This is easily one of my favorite mods for my Core One+ so far. It printed flawlessly and works exactly as intended. Thanks for sharing!

@Sjalle_4435576 Glad to hear that it works for you. The print looks great all in black! Thank you for the review.

The parts are well desighned and prit good without any need for supports. Assambly works well.

In my opinion, a hinged top lid is simply essential for the successful printing of certain materials. It also facilitates better maintenance and servicing of the printer.
I believe this MOD is so successful that it has inspired numerous further extensions, and I myself have moved beyond the original design to enhance it according to my own needs. 👍

I love this mod. It all fits together well and makes the top removal much nicer. Thank you!

@CapCap_4637696 Than you for the review. It looks like you are using the original vent slide handle, even though you have upgraded to the Core One+ (the plus opens to the left, and the original opens to the right). Part of the upgrade requires flipping the vent so that the automatic vent control g-code will work; if you want automatic operation, after you flip the vent use the following Core One+ vent slide handle:

Great modification to acces and operate the ventilation.

@Tada_3359523 That looks good. It appears that your vent is reversed; on the Core One it opens to the right, and on the Core One+ it opens to the left. You could either flip the vent (left-to-right), or you could print the following vent slide handle for the Core One+ (it opens to the left and allows automatic vent operation if you decide to upgrade to the Plus version in the future).

Really good idea with flawed execution. It looked like a great weekend project to make access to the print head easier, so I started printing. During assembly I realized that the screws go straight into plastic and almost as expected two parts broke. Sure, I could've been more careful, but there are better options than this. I have created a remix using heat inserts, but you could also place an opening for a nut at the bottom. Thank you for providing the STEP files to allow for these modifications!

@George_125282 Very vivid! You’ll never misplace your printer. :-)

@dteng_185446 Oh perhaps i should have made in glow in the dark XD

Great. Front warps a bit, tried printing multiple times, but seems to work ok

I've built a franken-cover version. I've used the corners, slider cover, and thumb grips from this model. The slider handle I used from the core one plus remix. The straight bars I used from the 20x6x2 magnet size remix. Everything was printed using recommended settings with the Core One plus printer, and orange and galaxy black PETG Prusaments. Everything fitted perfectly and I can say, it's the best thing I did to my printer.

@therealkjmd_2960288 Excellent! I like that there are variations of parts for this (what’s the point of customizing your printer if you can’t customize the modification too…one size does not fit all).

@Martin_4489039 Looks nice, but I see that the slide handle is blocking the vent holes when it is open, because that handle was designed for the CoreOne (non-Plus version). The CoreOne+ vent opens to the left rather than the right, so you need to use the CoreOne+ slide handle from the following link; it will also allow automatic vent control in addition to manual control. Only the new slide handle needs to be replaced; all the other pieces are the same.
