This pair of side hinge covers is solely for use with the K1C type adapter plates found here :- K1C adapters to fit my V2 & V3 270 degree door front hinges

I had avoided doing cover plates for the small adapter hinge pieces that I created for K1C (and some K1 models that use a K1C enclosure) that were required to use the V2/V3 270 degree hinges as I could see numerous reasons for not doing them. The majority of my reservations I overcame but the amount of time needed for creation is just too much for me to commit to doing any other variants. 

I agreed to have a go at making a set for someone with a K1C enclosure who had asked about if there were any. Which there weren't at the time, and after creating this pair I can guarantee I won't be doing more of these small covers for the sides. 

But as he shared a make of the hinges on his printer, I was honour bound to follow through with at least one design. From this moment on any new cover plates will only be V2 or V3 standard hinge size covers. Note:- there are now larger K1C side hinge pieces in my downloads to allow for using any of the V3 cover sets on their printers.

If anyone prints and uses these, please share a ‘Make’ as I don't have a K1C enclosure to demo them myself.

For printing:- I highly advise 45 or 50 percent infill with 4 walls. 

You may need longer screws, but again I rely on somebody else out there to say what length as I cannot test them fitted to a printer myself.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rather than go through the misery of making more of these small K1C side hinge adapter covers I instead turned my attention to creating the larger set of K1C side hinge pieces that are compatible with the primary V2/V3 hinge fronts while also bringing full version 3 cover plate sets compatibility. This allows K1C owners (and later K1 owners who received their printer with a K1C frame) to use V3 covers if they want the option for different covers on their printers.
