Replicator 2x Hood Gap Filler

thingiverse

I crafted this to bridge the gap in R2x enclosure hood for feed tubes and wiring passage. It features tabs that slide into a rear enclosure panel gap; no fasteners required! I use it with RodLaird's fume filter (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:125264) and corner hole-fillers (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:151513). The ABS smell significantly reduces, and the build chamber stays warmer (45-50C). Two versions - with flexible bellows and flat one are available. I prefer bellows version for more feed tubes play, but it might be challenging at lower resolutions. Print at 0.2mm and 30% linear infill on Kapton cleaned with isopropyl alcohol at 115C HBP temp; edge-lift may occur due to warping. Compensate ABS thermal shrink by scaling up STL to 100.5%. Bellows might not print well rougher than 0.2mm or if scaled down.
