So, probably the most annoying thing about D41 is the auto-off feature. I saw where a common mod was to cut a zip tie and shove it on the side of the button to “lock” it in the ‘off’ position. I did that, but I wasn’t a fan of the head of the zip tie hanging out, so I designed this cap lock. It uses the same idea but sits flush with the other buttons and maintains the top and bottom gap for the most part. Which, to me, makes it look more intentional than the zip tie. It also has the middle cut-out so I can make sure the switch is ‘off’ while I’m driving.

I printed it out of PETG, so I’ll see how it holds up over time. My main concern is making sure I can get it out if I need to. That's one of the main reasons I didn't cut the head off the zip tie so it would sit flush.

For the print orientation, I have it rotated at 45 degrees so that any shear forces aren't acting along the layer lines. This does require supports and a little post-processing, but it's not that bad. If you absolutely don't want to deal with supports, you can rotate it and print on the clip's face.

I printed this on my Bambu Lab X1C using Sunlu PETG. As always, feel free to mess around with the settings.

Lastly, there is a specific orientation for installation. The side with the larger radii goes to the left while the sharper corners face the harzad lights. If you look at the posted pictures, you should be able to tell what I'm talking about.
