Prusa XL/MK4 LCD Covers

Do you have kids at home? Do you have clumsy hands that might drop tools on your fragile LCD? This will be a great solution for you!

Introducing my first XL 5 tools design, which utilizes all five tools on the XL: a full-color LCD cover using PETG as support. You will see 8 files: 4 STLs and 4 3MFs. Covers for XL and covers for MK4, both have two versions, covered USB and non-covered USB.

If you open the 3MF file in PrusaSlicer, you will see it's all colored and supported. Just load these colors in this order, and you are ready to go.

Tool one: PLA - Black
Tool two: PLA - Gray
Tool three: PLA - White
Tool four: PLA - Orange
Tool five: PETG - Any color

This design will need to be printed facing up, so support material must be used. I played with so many support settings, including using only PETG as the support interface. That doesn't work. Due to the side handle geometry, the support at that location isn't flat, so PETG is not able to stick to PLA.

So, I ended up using full PETG support; although the bed is set at PLA temperature, I found the PETG support print on the bed with no issues and held down through the entire print.

After the print was finished, removing the PETG support from the PLA part worked like a dream, with super nice and clean bottom finishes.

Before anyone asks the following question, I will just answer it: the font used is called “Free Sans Bold”, and I believe this is the official Prusa font. I will include the font file as a zip file; you are welcome.
