QIDI X-max 3 Lid Slider Frame

This slider frame allows you to open the top lid for venting, bed access, and replacing the filament by sliding the lid back.

Made this because model for three reasons: 

1.  Don't like leaving the lid lying around where it may get damaged. 
    
2. When print PLA and TPU materials it is recommended that the enclosure be vented. This lid handily slides open for this.
    
3.  In order to reduce hot end clogging, QIDI recommends using the ‘Replace Filament’ menu option to remove the filament which involves access to the hot end to cut the filament for removal. 
     
   Also have a simple model to facilitate the cutting of the filament at the print head.  A simple bowden tube slip connector for the extruder.  Allows easier removal of the  bowden tube from the extruder in order to cut the filament.

There is a remix of this design, with a wider bottom edge allowing a LED strip to be mounted to it. I have not downloaded the remix, but you may what to check it out. https://cults3d.com/fr/modèle-3d/outil/qidi-x-max-3-support-de-capot-superieur-avec-led 

Printing:

You will need to print 2 copies of the 'Corner',  ‘SideToSide’,  and ‘FrontToBack’ models . Also print 1 of each 'CornerLong1' and ‘CornerLong2’ which mirror each other.   PETG filament works well for this so there are no worries about sagging due to chamber heat as there might be with PLA. ABS/ASA are good alternative to PETG.  30% infill worked fine.

Parts are designed to be printed upright, just as they would be used (lid track up).  I used a brim and organic supports(not many needed). The long side walls do fit inside the X-max 3  print bed if angled corner to corner.   

Uses  8 M3x16mm screws, 16 M3 washers, and 8 M3 nylon lock nuts to hold the frame together.  There are holes in the bottom of each corner to fasten to the printer, but are not used.    

Feedback Good or Bad will help me and the next guy who may be interested in trying this model.
