So when I took apart my print head to clean it, I noticed the 2 cover plates that were screwed down had cracks in them. Me being me jumped at the thought of having to build them on fusion 360 cuz fun.

So here you go as well if you need a replacement part

Print settings (these are what I used with success, feel free to adjust for what works for you)

Nozzle Size (.4mm)

Material (ABS) PLA or PETG should work just as well

I used ABS since thats what I'm comfortable with, PETG or PLA should be fine as well 

Bottom pattern Initial Layer  (Concentric)
Top/Bottom Pattern (Lines)
I like using concentric pattern for the first layer as it seems to help with ABS sticking better and less warping, the rest of the layers I use the Line pattern

Initial Layer height (.3mm)

Layer height (.2mm)

Line Width (.4mm)


Walls (2)

Infill (100%) 

Its a small part and wanted it to be strong and not crack again

Bed Temp (100)

Initial layer Temp (260) only on the 1st layer to ensure it stayed stuck

Printing Temp (240) 

Print Speed (20-30mm/s) depending on your printer may need to print the thin walls slower

Retraction Distance and speed (3mm and 40mm/s)

Fan Speed (25% turning on at layer 8) may vary depending on the layer height you choose

Yes yes I know people say no fans on ABS, I use it when I print DND minis with great success. I have it turn on for this on layer 8 to help with the thin walls just to help them stay uniform.
That being said, results may vary when it comes to the fan. If youre not sure just turn it off.

Supports (No)

Brim or anti warping tabs (if you feel you need it) 

I didnt use any tabs or brim.
