Mega S cable housing (z-motors)

thingiverse

I'm thrilled to finally have some time to tackle a major issue with the Mega S. The cable mess on the right side of the device, next to the z-motor, was begging for attention. However, the shape didn't exactly invite me to create a hard cover that would do it justice. After experimenting with TPU, a new material for me, and a public holiday on the horizon - I had my plan in place. And after one and a half days of working on this project during my holiday time, happiness arrived! The custom cover I designed works flawlessly for my Mega S (late 2019 model). This was my first major design from scratch, and I'm excited to share it with you, hoping that some of you will also find it useful. It's strongly recommended to print this cover with flexible material. If you're a pro at post-processing by heating up and bending less flexible materials, chances are it might work (but it wasn't designed with that in mind). Since I'm not sure if it would fit earlier or later models of the Mega, I'd love to hear your thoughts and will update this description when I have more information. You can try measuring first or printing just the smaller one (which is a z-mirror and modification of the right side cover) to see how it fits. Note: The hotbed cable cover in the picture isn't part of my design, but you can find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4279391
