Download Free 3D Model SmartExtruder Cover (Not SmartExtruder+) 3D Print Model

Summary
I own two original SmartExtruders and one SmartExtruder+. I’ve figured out the SmartExtruder+ is great because and only because it’s held on by screws instead of clips. They are about the same as far as performance goes, but it’s nice to have more extruders dedicate for different nozzle diameters.
Anyway, anyone who owns one of these 5th Gens or had owned one would understand the frustrations of the clip-on extruder covers. Mine are holding on to dear life by my extruder holder or painters’ tape, since it’s readily available.
The part is self explanatory so there are little words to say about this part, other than I’ve put in about 2 weeks of work on this, but it’s not quite right yet. Measurements were taken and modeled with and without the back-cover for assembly for accuracy, before and after printing. Printed parts were checked under a microscope then the model was adjusted accordingly. Well, I hadn’t finished it yet, but it’s roughly 90% accurate.
Other work got in the way and I hadn’t worked on this for a couple months and decided to release this to all of you. If it works for you, GREAT! If it doesn’t, I hope someone can finish it, make improvements and share it.
It’s best to print this at 0.3mm resolution and print it solid. 0.2mm is better but that’s a lot of time spent for an incomplete part that may or may not work. There aren’t any features there that require 0.2mm resolution. 0.4mm prints faster but I feel it’s not fine enough for this application.
I’ve printed only PLA but it hasn’t quite fit JUST right so I have no idea what will happen at the hot-end.
Enjoy.
