<b>This is a remix of <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6028537">a thing by timlee</a>.</b> Thanks to timlee for making the fundamentals for this thing! <b>What is it?</b> A lot of users of the new Creality K1 have released their bowden tube from the cable chain in an attempt to make extrusion easier, since a some experience under extrusion with the bend on the tube. The problem is however, that when you release the tube, it will be rubbing against the top cover/lid. This will cause marks on the lid and restrain the tube from moving freely. Therefore it could be a good idea to raise the lid to make more room for the tube. <b>What did I change?</b> As a lot of people, I released the bowden tube from the cable chain too. I therefore needed this spacer, but there was a couple of things that I liked to change. Thanks to timlee, who uploaded the Fusion360 file, I was able to make some changes: NOTE: After some weeks with my first design, the bowden tube raised itself a bit more and I therefore needed a taller version. This design therefore contains to versions. <ol> <li>I made the spacers quite smaller in height. <br>- It now measures 25,5 mm total. <br>(34,5 mm for the tall version)<br>- The lid is raised 17,5 mm and covers 8 mm of the lid.<br> (26,5 mm and 8 mm for the tall version) </li> <li>The outer wall of the spacer is reduced to 2 mm thickness instead of 3 mm.</li> <li>I moved the hole in the back right corner to match with the existing hole in the lid.</li> <li>I made the hole a little bigger in height.</li> <li>I made the back right corner cover the rest of the hole in the lid to make it seamless.</li> <li>I made the hole with more round/soft corners instead of sharp corners.</li> </ol> <b>Files</b> There is a file for the back right corner (with the hole) and a file for all the other corners. This applies to both the normal and the tall version. Furtheremore I uploaded the Fusion360 with all the edits that I have made from the original file. There is also a One-Piece file (tall version). It is assembled with a 0.2 mm extra length to make up for round corners when printing the pieces separately. Keep in mind that this model IS NOT TESTED since I do not own such large printers. Uploadet per request. <b>Thanks!</b> Once again, thanks to timlee for making this thing and uploading the Fusion360 file. It made it way easier for me to modify and make the design I wanted.
