I needed a simple and lightweight front cover to protect the joysticks and the screen when traveling light, so I made one.

Two versions: partial cover and full front cover:

  • Prints as a single piece in the P1P and X1C (and any larger printer)
  • Very light, weights only 60g printed!
  • Smooth corners to not snag into other stuff when thrown in a backpack
  • Very thin, can flex slightly to fit snugly around the deck

If you prefer a looser fit, increase the width by 1mm. That is, the widest measurement (leave height and length the same). The standard model has a very tight fit and need some flex to install and remove.

Supports required. I can print with only a few supports depending on angle, but there aren't many choices given the size and complex shape. If you can print without supports on a larger printer, let me know!

I tested in PLA and PETG. PETG fits as well and is more flexible, but the finish is worse due to the supports. 

Must be positioned diagonally on the bed to fit on the P1P and X1C:
