Box Turtle Gearbox Cover Mod with LED Insert (with STEP model)

I do not own, and have never built a Box Turtle.  

This design was a request by a Voron builder who was also building a Box Turtle filament feeding system.  The gearbox covers in original design (which cover the wheels and have a decorative design which is backlit), can be a bit difficult to print well, due to the required orientation and the small features.  This design just splits the small features for the Box Turtle logo out, which will allow the difficult elements to be printed in an orientation that gives a better chance of resolving the thin parts of the logo.  It also adds a cosmetic detail where the “box” element of the design can be printed in a 2nd contrasting color.

These models will require supports to print.  The parts are also not oriented for printing, so please arrange them as you wish.  See the 3rd image above for a suggested orientation for the parts in the slicer.

Although I do not own a Box Turtle, if I were using this part, I'd probably glue the inserts into the cover using superglue. 

This design has been tested for fit of the parts only, but has not been installed with the LED.  

I did not change any of the key parts of the cover, and did not change the LED retainer at all, so I don't expect any issues.  But please keep in mind that this has not been “fully” tested, if you decide to print this. 

Be sure to check out the remixes too.  There is one with numbered inserts, which is a pretty cool idea.

Feedback is welcome, and will help to improve this design, if you have the time to post your experience using the design.

The STEP model is included.

Thanks and Acknowledgements:

The modification was suggested and tested by Steiner-Se, who is building an 2.4 R2 with a Box Turtle.  The changes were a collaboration, so thanks to Steiner-Se for the idea, and for running a test print.  Any images of the printed models are also courtesy of Steiner-Se.

This remix is overall a very small change to the original, so if this works for you, please support the original creator of the Box Turtle.

I have a number of other Voron related models, which you can find here.

If you find these models useful, please post a like or a comment with some pics of your prints. 

You can find the other things I'm working on at my blog here.  You can also follow me here on Printables or MakerWorld, to see what new stuff I post.  

Thanks for looking!
