Qidi Tech X-Max side panel thermal insulation

Why?

I wanted to have an acoustic and mainly thermal insulation of the thin plastic side panels of the Qidi Tech X-Max which doesn't look like a giant black foam plate, that has been bungled and glued onto the panels

Features:

• Looks so much better than foam

Requirements / Mounting:

• I printed them using PETG because it handled the thin walls best and its flexibility caused one useful effect: the EVA foam plates bend the walls slightly outwards, providing a  jamming effect inside the Qidi's side panels fixing them without glue
• Cut out a corresponding piece of foam (I used EVA foam from a kids puzzle mat because of its stability, bright colors and insulation properties)
• Push it inside the frames
• Clamp the plates inside the Qidi's side panels (see photographs)

Hope you like it, comments and feedback as always very much appreciated… :-)
