TourBox Neo / Elite Dust Cover – Threaded Knob Cap

TourBox Neo / Elite Dust Cover – Threaded Knob Cap

A simple protective dust cover for the TourBox Neo / TourBox Elite, designed to keep dust, dirt and accidental splashes away from the controls while the device is sitting on the desk.

The cover follows the characteristic outline of the TourBox and slips over the entire device. The top is flat and includes a removable threaded cap above the main dial, providing the extra clearance required by the tall knob without making the whole cover unnecessarily high.

Remix

This model is a remix of the “TourBox Elite Carrying Case” available on MakerWorld:

I used the geometry of the original case as the starting point for the TourBox outline and knob position, then substantially modified it into a desk dust cover.

Many thanks to the original designer for the excellent base model.

Changes compared with the original

• converted the carrying case into an open-bottom dust cover

• extended the walls to cover the TourBox while it sits on a desk

• reduced the top wall thickness to approximately 3 mm

• enlarged the clearance around the main TourBox dial

• split the model into two printable parts

• added a threaded socket to the main cover

• added a separate screw-in cap for the main dial

• added generous thread clearance for easy assembly after FDM printing

Parts

1. Main dust cover

2. Threaded dial cap

The small cap simply screws into the main cover after printing.

Printing

My suggested starting settings:

• Material: PETG

• Layer height: 0.16 mm

• Wall loops: 4

• Infill: 15% Gyroid

• Wall generator: Arachne

• Supports: not required

These settings result in a print less than 100g with a reasonable strength.

Print the main cover with the top surface on the build plate and the walls pointing upward.

Print the small threaded cap with its flat outer face on the build plate and the thread pointing upward.

For a slightly more relaxed fit over the TourBox, the complete model can be printed at 101% uniform scale. Make sure to scale both parts by exactly the same amount, otherwise the threads will no longer match.

Fit

Designed around the TourBox geometry and tested as a cover concept for the TourBox Neo. The original source model was designed for the TourBox Elite, which shares the same general enclosure format.

The cover is intentionally not a transport case — it is meant to be quickly placed over the controller while it remains on the desk.

Enjoy!
