Description
The official Snapmaker top cover costs a whopping $249... and my wallet simply did not approve of that purchase. So, I had to take matters into my own hands and create this model!
This is a connector that lets you upgrade the IKEA SAMLA 45L storage box into the (unofficial, but effective) top cover for your Snapmaker U1.
The best part is that no additional parts like screws or bolts are needed for assembly! (Although, using adhesive is recommended for better stability.)
With this budget-friendly cover, you can effectively block noise and dust from your printer and get the added heat retention benefit from maintaining the internal temperature.
Assembly Tip: You will need to disconnect the PTFE tube and the USB-C cable during installation. It's much easier if you detach the cables near the tool head before you begin assembly!
11/25 Note: Replaced the stl files with the step files. Feel free to modify and create your own custom mods:) Also expecting that you guys adding profiles of any other boxes around the world!
