Tower Guards for the TLR 22x4
I will add a rear guard soon and update the designs with version numbers if needed after some testing. This is designed to be attached with zip ties and I wanted good quality ties so I got "TY24MX Thomas & Betts Ty-Rap Cable Tie with Stainless Lock 5.50" (not in the photos) but try whatever you can get. I also suggest printing the part solid in CF Nylon but try out whatever you have and let me know how it goes.
There is a model with a built in single layer brim. If you have built plate adhesion issues it will help a lot. No Supports are needed.
Update 12/28/22:
Rear Guards have been added to the files. These are a tight fit and require the part to flex a bit to clip on. I suggest making the parts in solid PETG, Nylon or CF Nylon. They also use the same zip ties to hold them in place as the front guard.
Update 12/31/22:
I added a V2 model for the front tower guard that looks similar to the 22 5.0 front guard I designed. I think it looks a little better and it may be a little stronger.
Update 1/20/23:
Added a V3 model for the front tower guard after some feedback that the guard was a little loose. I just removed a little material underneath the guard to expose the tower more so the zip tie would pull it down better. I would use this model for the front.
Also added rear guard versions that only have cutouts for 2 zip ties after feedback that 4 wasn't needed. Try it and see what works for you.
