This is a Z-Axis way cover for the Precision Matthews PM25-MV milling machine. Instead of the factory-original bellows type (which takes up about an inch of precious y-axis motion) this takes up essentially no room and works flawlessly.
There are two STL files for 3d printed parts, each around 10 inches long. There's also a DXF file of the nut plate for the bottom clamp.
The roll down shade can be gotten from a variety of sources, I purchased mine at Lowes, search under "Levolor White Room Darkening Cordless Vinyl Roller Shade". I bought a 36" long unit, cut it down for a 9" wide "shade". Instead of the thin white vinyl I used .032 thick neoprene sheeting that I bought on Amazon. Whole thing cost around $15.
Comments welcome!
Here's a YouTube video of the cover in action:
