A1 SKELETONIZED FACEPLATE

 

I designed this removable faceplate to pair with my A1 Extruder Front Cover - Skeleton Frame Mod. It is stripped even further than the skeleton frame mod to obstruct less of the fun frame you likely just finished printing. It's aesthetically pleasing, allows insight to how the extruder mechanism works, and allows clearance for easier maintenance!

 

For the magnetic cover, you will need 4 W4mm x D2mm round magnets and some super glue to hold them in place. Print pauses are included in the print profile to allow for placement of the magnets. A small amount of Super Glue is recommended to hold the magnets in place such that the nozzle does not pick them up during printing.

Currently only a magnetic cover version is available. A snap-on version will be available in a few weeks.
