3030 Cable Cover

thingiverse

Cable cover for 3030 aluminum profiles, readily printed in PLA and scalable. Models found so far either are very stiff and therefore cannot be properly placed into a profile unless they are printed with flexible filament or have a fixed length. This model is flexible even if printed in PLA. It has a predefined length of 100 mm but can be scaled to any arbitrary length, as it is uniform on its entire length. If you need a cover of a given length l, you must scale it in the z-direction. As the new length is now 100 mm, the percentage of the scale factor is equal to the desired length in millimeters. 05/25th/19: A revised version was uploaded with larger fillets because the previous model had a tendency to break between the legs and the front face. 05/31st/19: Yet another update. It was oriented in a way that does not need to be rotated within the slicer, and the length was set to 100 mm so the percentage of the scaling is equal to the desired length.
