Elitedesk 705 G4 Vented Cover

Model work in progress, not final

Here is a top cover for the Elitedesk mentioned in title, this sports mounting for the front cover with two screws and attachment to the rear screw. Vent design can be customized by changing sparse infill pattern in slicer settings for the part, in pictures "honeycomb" infill patterns was used.

Instructions and notes:

• Parts are printed out of ABS, PETG has not been tested.

• Front panel can be installed with original screws but it is recommended to use slightly longer screws, I recommend using M2x5 (flat head/flush fit). There is a risk of damage to screw post on the original part when the original screws are used, too long screws can also damage the top part of front cover.

• Top cover rear screw attachment point might be perfectly aligned, tested on two printers with four printed parts in total, 2/4 were misaligned slightly.

• Cover has built in supports, supports are located on the front (2x, hole for front panel clips) and at the back (1x, screw hole), remove supports before use.

• Screw holes have slight adjustment and are slightly oversized, it is possible to use small shims/washers under the screws if necessary.

• Vent needs to be glued onto the cover from the inside, friction fit / print in place / alternative design is under work. You can use superglue or two-component glue.
