Description
This is a replacement piece for the plastic cover around the cable that you pull to unlatch the next section of the Bakflip MX4 tonneau cover. This particular model is a 2019 version for the RAM 1500 but I imagine it would work for other versions and, potentially, other Bakflip models.
I have put screw holes on both sides, so it can be used on both the passenger and driver sides of the cover. Also, I designed a cable channel so that it can be installed without disassembling the latch on the tonneau cover.
There are two files. The first "Exact Length" is the version that is a 1:1 replacement but, unfortunately, it doesn't fit on the MK3/MK4 print bed (250mm x 210mm). The shorter version works and just fits on the print bed if you turn it diagonally.
Print Settings:
PETG for a little more durability than PLA. Any filament will work.
0.2 mm layer height - this is more important than I realized. I used 0.3 mm and the additional layer height doesn't allow it to fit under the lip of the metal channel. Use 0.2 mm.
I used organic supports but, if your bridging is dialed in, you may not need it.
I used 30% infill and 3 perimeters
