Leave a like or post a make if you print, I would love to see it! USE YOUR OWN SWITCH OPTION - if you want to use a different switch there is a version included with no cutout. Simply use a negative volume modifier in Prusaslicer to cut out the right size for your switch. See this guide: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/negative-volume_238503 . Set the negative volume box or cylinder size to the measurements of your switch.This is a remix of the Flat LCD Cover Design by vojtz. (@Nexl): https://www.printables.com/model/749381-new-lcd-cover-for-prusa-xl-mk4-mk39-mk35-best-for Features From Original (tweaked): Flat design, LED defuser part, brim.Features Added: Light switch, MMU Prusa logos and light, USB and reset symbols. These features were inspired by a make posted on vojtz's model by Juan Puchol (@JuanPuchol_41170), and tweaked to my liking. Use and Assembly: You can install it as you would with the original LCD display, or externally as seen in the images (see end of description). The brim part is printed separately and is slid over the main part. The defuser part is also printed separately (use transparent filament) and pushed into the main part. It is a bit tricky to get it in, but be careful and you'll get there.Supports: the only supports you will need are under the deboss where the switch sits. Build plate only setting should only put them here. The brim and defuser parts do not need supports.See below for details on each feature. Light switchSwitch: https://tinyurl.com/42ph3wvt or use your own as described above. Wire to an LED strip in your enclosure. See last image for wiring guide. This has extra details for installing in a LACK enclosure, but please adapt to your desire. I used this LED strip as it has a very nice defused cool white colour: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CRPBS9C7?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details  MMU logos and symbolsPress split to parts in Prusaslicer. As mentioned in the summary, I have specifically designed this to be easily done in multicolor without an MMU (only two layers of coloured materials and seven manual colour changes). I don't have an MMU so this is what I did. See this guide by @JoanTabb on how to set it up in Prusaslicer, it's pretty simple (set four extruders instead of two) - https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/prusaslicer/manual-multicolor/ .The printer will stop and ask you to change the filament when it needs. Just make sure you note down the order of colours, Scroll through the first two layers in the slicer or gcode viewer to see the order. Comes out great with a 0.25mm nozzle. It will also look pretty decent with a 0.4mm, just some of the finer text and symbols look a bit lower quality if you look too closely.If you don't want to buy four colours of filament, or cant be bothered changing them manually, you can assign all text and symbols to one different colour that you have on hand and you should only have to do two manual colour changes. if you don't care for the logos and symbols just don't split to parts and print as normal, all in one colour. Other accessories and modifications in images (all great for a superb LACK enclosure setup)LACK enclosure faithful improvements (open door magnets and more) - my remix of the LACK enclosure by Dominik Císař (@DominikCisar): https://www.printables.com/model/953743-lack-enclosure-with-faithful-improvements-open-doo LACK exterior xLCD mount (supports) by Zenmaster33 (@Zenmaster33_221864): https://www.printables.com/model/709669-lack-enclosure-external-xlcd-mount-mk4-supports LACK exterior xLCD mount (screwed in base part) to be used with the cable entry slot (see below) designed by me: https://www.printables.com/model/954594-xlcd-external-mount-base Cable entry slot that goes through LACK for exterior xLCD mounting by JayS (@JayS): https://www.printables.com/model/654536-prusa-mk4-cable-entry-ikea-lack-enclosure Angled heat bed cable strain relief by Tadeas Tehan (@TadeasTehan_402221): https://www.printables.com/model/564413-mk4-heat-bed-cable-strain-relief-short-60deg-split Slot in top of LACK for filament entry by poulanker (@poulanker): https://www.printables.com/model/34334-ikea-lack-enclosure-filament-slot
