TPU Dust Cover for P1P, P1S, and X1 Z Axis

I changed the geometry of my original dust cover for P1 & X1 to better suit TPU and to make a better seal.

If you do not have TPU, please print the version linked above for PLA, PETG, ABS, or ASA.

I don't recommend printing this design with PLA filament.

The thin wall could break and get stuck between the Z bearing. 

This cap completely covers the top of the z-axis threaded rods to keep out dust and filament bits.

(2) covers print in roughly 14 minutes and about 1.2 grams of filament.

• Print settings are very important, so please use the included print profile w/ a 0.4mm nozzle.
• Make sure your TPU is dry!
• This needs to be printed slowly - most of the speeds have been tuned to 30 mm/s.

There is a round cutout so the top of the rod/rubber plug does not rub against the printed cover!

Optimized for 0.20mm layer height.

Installation:

1. Simply push into place with your fingers, and work around the edge in a circular pattern.
2. The outer edge of the cap is meant to fill the space between the metal bearing and plastic.
3. This creates a seal, and holds it in place with friction.

This should fit well because I printed around 20 to verify consistent results.

Due to variances in printing, you might want to print 4 and choose the best 2.

You can also try scaling X/Y by a very small amount in the slicer - maybe 0.2% - 0.5%.
