This is a further optimized variant of the Noctua-style side cover for the Framework Desktop computer.
Please note that this version takes some leniency regarding safety standards that Noctua adhered to, meaning that openings are a little wider. Make sure you understand what that implies and use the model on your own risk.
If you like this design, please consider leaving a ♥heart. Thanks!

Printing
I would advise not to use PLA because it will get gummy at around 60°C which is a normal operation temperature of the device. Also, PETG has a significantly better layer adhesion which benefits the tab stability.
Nozzle: 0.4 mm
Filament material: PETG
Layer height: 0.20 mm
Supports: Yes, auto generated supports
Infill: 20 % Grid
Perimeters: 3
