Stribog SP9 mlok cover plates

These are covers for the 2 mlok slots and the 45 degree slot on a Stribog SP9.  I stitched together two mlok slot covers and a 45 degree degree cover originally designed by Vivid-Combination-60.  The second snap has a cut out to miss the barrel nut.  I printed this out of Voxel PLA+HS while working on the fit, but it might do better printed out of a higher temp filament.

For the flat plate, print it with the flat side down.  No supports are needed.  I used 80% infill and printed on a textured PEI plate.

For the textured plates, print it texture side up.  The tabs are modified to have a flat bottom and use a 45 degree chamfer.  I used regular supports but removed support between the tabs for the angled slot as it's hard to get the support out of there and bridging that gap works fine.  I also used variable layer height to get finer layers for the scallops.

There are three hex pattern plates.  The first is constant depth on the hexes.  The next has deeper hexes in the middle.  The last is designed to be printed vertically so you can use fuzzy skin to get a grippier texture.  It's modified a bit so it doesn't need any support besides the drawn in support rib.  There's a modifier body for the front surface included in the stl file.  There's also a support rib so the plate doesn't tip over during printing.  This support rib snaps off easily after printing.  The way I set this up in Orca slicer was to import the stl twice.  On the first one, separate the body to parts, delete the support rib, set the modifier body type, and set fuzzy skin for the modifier with 0.1 spacing, 0.3mm height (but going to 0.4mm might be better).  Then on the second stl import, separate the parts to objects, delete the plate and modifier just keeping the support rib.  You want the support rib to be a separate object so you don't have continuous filament paths between the rib and the plate even though the two objects are touching.  This is what allows it to break off later.  I also set the support rib to 10% infill - it doesn't need to be as strong as the plate.  This part came out with the snaps slightly larger.  I filed the long sides of the snaps down slightly to get 0.275" wide on the narrow ones, 0.39" wide on the angled one.

These are all left side covers.  To make the right side, mirror the cover in your slicer.
