Prusa i3 MK3 MK2.5 Cosmetic Cover for the new Prusa angled Nozzle Fan shroud HOT!2

thingiverse

This cover does nothing for the printer, and its sole purpose is cosmetic. [!! Requires using a 12mm M3 bolt from your spares bag instead of the 10mm currently in use] I updated this model on August 9, 2018 to improve its fit. Prusa recently released a new Nozzle Fan shroud, and you can read more about it in their blog post (see "Better Cooling and Extruder Upgrade"): https://www.prusaprinters.org/prusa-research-summer-update-2018/ You can find the STL file here (see "MK3 & MK2.5 New Extruder Parts (July 17, 2018)"): https://www.prusa3d.com/prusa-i3-printable-parts/ The new design has lost the original HOT!2 text, and now there is nothing in its place. I created this cover to add back that text and restore some of the original looks. It fits on top of the new nozzle design as a cover, and all you need is the 12mm M3 bolt from your spares bag instead of the 10mm currently in use. Personally, I liked the looks of the orange nozzle fan guide, but I only have black ABS. I prefer to print with ABS because my original PETG shroud began to deform. Since I already had Prusa orange PETG, I didn't want to order some orange ABS. You must print this cover in temperature-resistant filament like ABS or PETG. PLA is not an option, as it will likely fail. It simply sits on top of the new nozzle design. It doesn't sit flush with the bottom to avoid any issues from potential drooping.
