Cover for the Anycubic I3 Mega Hotend: A Simplified Design with Enhanced Features This design is a carefully crafted remix of two original sources, tailored to meet the needs of 3D printing enthusiasts. I've incorporated vent holes on the front of the cover, allowing for optimal airflow and heat dissipation during extended print sessions. A key modification made to this design was the removal of the bottom plate's "closing" housing, which obstructs air circulation and can lead to suboptimal ABS print quality. By eliminating this restrictive feature, I've ensured that hot air is free to circulate, preventing warping and ensuring accurate prints. To further enhance cooling capabilities, a small hole has been drilled on the top left side of the cover, providing easy access for the fan cable. This thoughtful addition allows users to seamlessly integrate their cooling blower, which can be attached directly to the back of the hotend carriage for maximum effect. For those interested in utilizing this design, I've also provided a STL file that includes tree supports generated by Meshmixer. This valuable resource saves time and minimizes material waste during printing, making it an attractive option for users seeking efficient and cost-effective solutions. When choosing materials for printing this cover, PET or ABS are highly recommended to prevent deformation caused by temperature fluctuations.
