This snap-on Nextruder cover "upgrades" your CORE ONE / L to the CORE TWO / L / XL. A simple, snap-on practical joke.

This started as a side quest while designing my LEGO-compatible Nextruder cover for the Core One / Core One L Building Block skin.
I did not really like the idea of replacing the original injection-molded Nextruder cover with a 3D-printed one, especially when the original part already works perfectly fine. So instead, I made a very simple snap-on faceplate that clips onto the existing cover.
No disassembly, no fiddling with critical printer parts, no commitment. It just snaps on and off, and it does not interfere with printer movement.
This CORE TWO /L /XL version is mostly a stupid joke, but the underlying snap-on design turned out to be useful. I also included the CAD files, both Fusion and STEP, under CC-BY, so you can make your own custom Nextruder faceplates without having to redesign the whole cover.
Absolute no-brainer upgrade. Actual performance gains may vary.
You can even print this without a MMU and manual filament swaps instead. I followed this tutorial:
