FlashForge Creator Pro Hood Insert with Locking Mechanism

thingiverse

This is a remake of DrLex's and Jangles1981's innovative hood insert, now with a locking mechanism that sets it apart. I drew inspiration from the ingenious "Mechanical Quick Grab/Release Phone Stand" created by Arron_mollet22 for this design. Using Fusion 360 as my tool, I brought this concept to life. Check out the basic animation here: https://youtu.be/ie4_3xXwroc. To assemble this insert, simply place the hood on your printer and then install it from the back, making sure the cams are facing towards the inside/front of the printer. Hold the insert by the top of the rack, which features a distinctive chevron design, and position it within the hood's cutout. Finally, lower the rack to secure it in place, effectively locking it into position.
