**********

This opening is another source of hot air leakage - it's as big as a 20.5mm hole! Covering it (and others) up is part of a bigger project of mine to plug up ALL the sources of air leakage so the enclosure can heat up faster and max out at a higher temperature even without active enclosure heating.  

Features:

  1. Simple one part cover that snaps in place.
  2. Installed from the inside so you don't have to disconnect anything to install it.
  3. Prints quickly and without supports.

Comes in 2 Variants:

  1. The “1” variant accommodates the accessory power cables for Prusa's either Prusa's LED Light Strip or Advance Filtration System (so 2 sets of cables).
  2. The “2” variant accommodates the accessory power cables for Prusa's LED light strip and the Advanced Filtration System (so 3 sets of cables)

NOTE: I've not made a “blank” variant that just covers the hole without any cables passing through it, because there seems to be other options on Printables already.  But, if you'd still like to see a “blank” variant added, just let me know via DM.

Recommendations:

  1. Use PETG/ABS/ASA.  Tested with Polymaker ABS Black.
  2. PLA is not suitable for the function of this model - it's not great at resisting higher temperatures and will take a set over time and start loosening up.
  3. 0.2mm layer and 0.4mm nozzle works fine.
  4. Use textured Prusa print plate to match the texture of the enclosure.

Installation:

  1. First, insert and align the catches next to the cable opening.
  2. Push down and towards the LEFT side - firmly - to snap it in.  Be careful that no cables are pinched before you snap it in place.
  3. That's it, you're done!
