I was inspired by a couple of makers for making some cool things but had not seen any combinations of things, so I decided that I would design an accessory for the A1 that gave some level of privacy if needed due to the viewing angle of the camera, and store necessary tools for the general maintenance of the A1, like the amazing multitool by Simracers Home https://makerworld.com/en/@SR_H check out their work, it's really great.
This entire piece prints as a single piece, with no need for tools or glue, it just snugly fits over the existing camera housing. I made this to fit the multitool tightly to mitigate any potential rattling when the nozzle is moving about, but this might not have been necessary. If there is need for a looser version, I will be happy to make one available.

I added a new profile for a shorter privacy screen that takes up less of the camera view, but still maintains the maximum amount of privacy up to about 15 centimeters in front of the printer when the camera is at maximum height.

It was pointed out that I had made an oversight regarding the compatibility of the original file with the A1 mini because I was not aware that the housing unit on the Mini was different than the A1 until now, so I have corrected that error by uploading a new 3mf file and an stl file. I apologize to those that printed the original file thinking it would fit on the mini.
