Bambu Lab P1/X1 simple lead screw cover

Had issues with the full length lead screw cover breaking during installation or colliding with the bed (despite using magnets) and causing levelling failures so I designed a simpler take on it.

Simple bracket that mounts using the bed screws and keeps a consistent distance from the bed. Helps to guide placement of the print bed and protect it from hitting the lead screw accidentally

Installation instructions:

• Press down the bed at the front left corner and unscrew the left bed knob there by rotating clockwise
• Be careful to not lose the washer sitting on top of the knob. It may be stuck to the underside of the bed
• Place the print over the knob. The recess should fit over the center to hold it in place
• Place the washer into the recess on the other side
• Reinstall the parts again by holding the bed pressed down strongly and screwing the knob on counter-clockwise. Aim for finger tight
• Check that the print does not appear on the camera. If it does, you can adjust it by slightly loosening the bed knob and pushing or pulling it

Printing instructions:

• Material: PETG or ABS
• Print as orientated
• Brim: may be needed if your adhesion is poor due to the thin walls
• Supports: no. Chamfered to avoid the need
• Overhang speed: 20 mm/s. Ensures the recessed holes print cleanly so they have good tolerance

Notes:

• Can be mirrored to also be installed on the right side of the bed, but I had no issues with the full lead screw cover on that side so I didn't bother
