Bambu Lab Z axis cover for X1 / X1 Carbon

This is the original Z axis cover for the Bambu Lab X1C ! :) 

These Z axis covers protect the top F625Z bearings on the threaded Z axis rods in the Bambu  X1 and X1 Carbon…

The walls are pretty thin…  so, you may need to enable “Detect thin walls” in your slicer for it to print well. Else, it might not print the side walls…

*Like it? , please consider donating the small amount of $1 to help me with development and design… (via: Ko-Fi ) - Thank You!

** BEST if printed in TPU **

NOTE:
> Print this item in TPU 95A 
> Standard Bambu Lab TPU settings will do just fine…
> Remember to print 2 (front L and R)
> I printed this on the OEM cold plate with a coat of Magigoo.
> IF you do insist on using your fancy PEX or PEI plate: To avoid DOOM, be warned that TPU loves PEI too much… So, you may need to use your usual release agent before printing ( or lightly dust with baby powder… no kidding… )
> Finally, when installing, remember to press it down around the edges to make sure it fits securely :)

Have fun :) Cheers!

UPDATE: 01-2024:

UPDATE 03-2023:

Someone asked for a thinner version and also for an "air release" hole in the middle... So there is now a “Thin-Z-cover.stl” version available. Mind you, the original model was designed to cover and protect the whole F625Z bearing. However, some people are not printing it in TPU or have enough “energy” to push the cover in place (like they should) without creating an air bubble in the middle . So, this new version should solve that , while still protecting the bearings from foreign objects and dust… However, you do have to make sure the cover is pressed down and fit correctly on top of the bearing. Also, make sure the bearing is clean before installing this cover…

Also keep in mind that this thinner version is harder to remove. The original model is designed to be user friendly and can be removed when needed for cleaning or upgrading… Due to how thin this model is you may need to also print it in "silent mode"(slower)…

Not sure which one to print? : 
Print the original model first and try it. I've been using it for a long time without any problems. Then if you want try the thinner model…
