Voron Trident Frame Brace with Cover

Why a brace?

I loved to look of frame braces. So made my own version swappable covers. Safe some filament after changing your accent color. Braces printed out of proper material (ABS/ASA/...). Cover could be printed in some fancy material like luminous PLA. Would PLA melt away. Propably. But maybe it looks cool.

Mounting

1. insert the heatset inserts with your favorite tool.
2. mount the cover to the brace with M3x8 screws.
