Printing
I printed all components on the K1C itself. Panels and corners are designed to be printed stood up - you will need to orient the panels diagonally on the build plate to get them to print - they should not be scaled. With your bridging dialed in, no support is necessary. I printed them with 3 walls and 15% infill in ABS.
The closures and nobs were printed in PLA.
All other components are solid
Notes:
When assembling the vent panels, bear in mind that you might need to reverse the rack or adjust the orientation of closures to get the best results.
I moved the original screws to the top of the corners for the lid & magnets to snap to, and used M3 cap heads to fix the corners to the printer.
I also decided that in order to improve the path of the PTFE tube, to extract it from the cable chain (see photo)
UPDATE:
I've added a slightly tapered corner to ease the fit of the lid.
