This is a basic cover that works as is but I kept it as simple as possible to make it easier for people to mod.

This is a basic cover that works as is but I kept it as simple as possible to make it easier for people to modify.  Facing the printer the right side has the factory tab and a provision for a magnet. Since the left side mount points are covered up by the beacon mount I designed the cover to use the edge of the mount as a retainer. Works quite well. The left side has an 1.5 degree angle to put a little spring action to help it stay locked into the mount. All of this could be improved by modifying stew's mount for  better interaction but it's good enough for me. I printed it in ABS and uses a global scale of 100.45% to account for shrinkage. 

Edit:  Miklas   @MiklasHeinri_1135126 found a potential problem in my design. The area around the beacon mount can potentially cause a problem with the nozzle not lining up with the scrapper since it throws off the X home position. I have reworked and tested the model. and it solves the problem. I personally had no issues with my 2 machines with multiple prints and nozzle changes but we all know all Plus 4 printers are not created equal. Sorry about this.
