Sovol SV06 Y Axis Tension Knob Spacer (No Face Plate Mod)

prusaprinters

I think the decorative plastic panels on the SV06 make it look cheap. There's really nice metal frame inside, why cover it up with plastic?The rear panel removed without issue, but I discovered that the front panel is needed to provide a surface for the belt tensioner knob to press against. I remembered seeing a replacement hex style front panel when looking around for mods. I like the hex look, but didn't want to print a whole replacement panel.I figured I could just chop a small part of that design out, which is exactly what I did. All credit for the design goes to “pimpyourprinter” for making the original part. They had to put all the work into measuring it and getting the dimensions right. I had to make 3 cuts and then export a new STL.I printed it in PETG with 5 perimeters and infill is irrelevant, since with that many perimeters it's solid. It should work just fine printed in PLA, too.
