This is a simple drybox cover for the side of the Core One +, held on by my modified spool holder that is split into two pieces. Since the pieces are made from parts with imperial measurements, those are used in most places in this description. The models are metric, converted as necessary. This is made from a 12" X 12"  X 1/8" thick piece of Plexiglass. I used this one:

Cut an approximately 46 mm or 1 13/16 inch hole in the center of the plexiglass in one direction and with the center of the hole about 178 mm or 7" from the edge in the other direction. You can line it up on the side panel to confirm. It was difficult to measure accurately. There is a TPU gasket that takes up the hole tolerances.

The back uses 3/8 X 3/16 PVC Foam weatherstripping gasket. I used this:

The pieces are held together with 2.5X8 mm stainless steel dowel pins. Any source of those should work.

There are two parts.

The edge of the glazing is covered by four L shaped pieces made of PETG that fit together like a picture frame. They were challenging to print. If the vertical part is too tall, it wobbles during printing and there are issues such as layer shifts and general poor quality. The long part on the bed tends to warp at the ends. I experimented with the ratios of the two and wound up printing with a short vertical part and long part on the bed, with hotter extruder and bed temperatures worked well, with no warping.

There is a gasket made from TPU that sits in the center hole. This was also challenging to print as there is an overhang. I had to print slow and hot, and thinner layers was not better.

I am including the .3mf files for both so you can start from my settings.
