Mando Mudhorn Signet stepper motor cover

thingiverse

I just changed my Ender 3 Pro to a direct drive extruder using the existing stepper motor. This config puts the back of the motor on full display, so to dress it up I created this cover. It is in two pieces so that I could change the filament for the background (inset) color and it gave me the option to orient the design to the side piece where there is a cutout for the motor wire harness. The plate itself is 2mm thick. The cutout is the first layer and prints through layer 6. I then changed the filament and finished the second mm which is a solid layer that is slightly smaller in dimension to fit inside the box. When I sliced it I forgot to turn off supports and so it printed with bed supports to the second layer. They cleaned off just fine. A little touch of glue and the box is complete. It fits snug to the motor. I converted a jpeg image to an .svg file and created it in Tinkercad.
