X2D Dust-Cover Base Plate + Z-Axis Bottom Cover

Cover for the Z-axis and the holes in the bottom plate

suitable for X2D

This is my bottom cover already known from the P2S. It precisely closes the dirt-prone openings and protects the guide parts of the lower Z-axis elements.

I have precisely matched these parts to my printer. Due to tolerance variations, parts may not fit perfectly on some models. Here I would need your support. Please let me know about any problems, if something jams, etc. 😉

There is a profile for PLA and PETG. I myself used PLA for a long time with a heated build chamber and had no problems with it.

However, more durable materials like PETG / ABS / HT-PLA would generally be recommended.

Assembly

The assembly is basically the same as with the P2S version. That's why I used the same pictures here.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is the order of assembly:

1. rear axis cover
2. left and right cover

3. front axis cover left and right

   

1.)  For the rear cover, first place the small part on the spindle and then rotate it around it.

Then place the front T-shaped part and fix everything with a 3x8mm or 3x6mm self-tapping screw

2.) the side covers are then simply placed on top and positioned

3.) when assembling the front corners, simply place the small corner element and then clip the larger corner element onto it. Beforehand, make sure that the support structures on the “puzzle elements” are cleanly removed.

Finally, reattach with self-tapping 3mm screws (6mm length) in the existing hole
