Decided to make top cover using IKEA Samla 45L while waiting for the original topcover to arrive since my PETG prints keep lifting off bed and warping.

I really liked the original with its more compact appearance but didn't like the connections.

Resliced the model to have less main parts (front, back (mirror each) and middle then voila.

To connect the sides, I remixed this Snap-fit joint , to print x6. Still have gaps but nothing the tape that came with U1 can't fix.

Also remixed the back+mesh by Mordanti to have either fully close back or have mesh in whatever style you prefer using a modifier. 

I used grid sparse infill density of 40 on the left and 50 on the right. 

 

To print (PETG recommended):

Front + mirror for Right side

Back + mirror for Right side

Middle x2 (can be printed on its side but might have issues with the hole for joints)

Pegs x4

Snap joints x6

 

NB: I recommend to use brims especially for front and middle. My prints (PETG) lifted a bit.
