Description

Modified front shield plate of design8studio's Flashforge Adventurer 5M (AD5M) Minimal DIY Enclosure to cover entire width under display.  Managed to add second stud to plate so magnets technically not required to hold it place and since it covers entire width there is a flange on right side that slips under the front right upper guard plate (A1 I think) However, I left holes for magnets if you want to add them as backup for holding it in place.

Being a newcomer to 3D printing I adjusted my design dimensions (Used free version of Fusion 360) to adjust the spacing between the two studs until a printed part fit not realizing I was probably fighting material shrinkage. Since I printed this in Overture PETG using the default generic Flashforge PETG filament profile which sets XY shrinkage to 100% you may need to fiddle with design or shrinkage depending on your machine/filament/temps to get it to fit since tolerances are pretty tight on the stud spacing to get the plate to click easily into place with breaking the studs.

As a final note, if you have a camera you will need to modify (melt/drill holes) in the AD5M front panel display case to route the camera cable through the case and out the back beside the mounting flange closest to the camera connector. I have attached several pictures that hopefully illustrate this. The reason for this is that the stock Flashforge camera's woefully short cable come out the front of the enclosure and then have to sneak in through the gap between the AD5M metal frame and display which is now blocked by the this modified shield. 

Thanks to Doug and design8studio for a wonderful remix that saved me a ton of time and filament and looks really nice!  I'm waiting on the Flashforge enclosure kit to complete my build as it is literally coming on a slow boat from China!

EDIT March 5, 2025: Added a bunch of pictures to try and illustrate the crazy camera cable routing I came up with. See the marked up picture - the red circle is where the cable would normally pass through but is now blocked by the shield, the blue circle is where the cable now passes through however you need to modify the plastic display case (i.e. melt/drill holes) to allow the cable to get from its connector on the display PCB to this hole in the AD5M frame. Honestly it might be simpler to get/make a longer cable for the camera, lol!
