Ender3 S1 Rail Accents (Straight Multi-Size Options)

Updated 3/25/24

I wanted a fancy looking printer like everyone else. I could only find the V-Slot rail covers which my Ender3 S1 does not have (unused). So I designed some accent covers that fit into the grooves of the rails. (Alternate Design versions are available)

--WHAT TO PRINT--

x8 212mm for the vertical z-axis.
x4 168mm for the horizontal x-axis. (recommend x2 Thinner and x2 ExThin)
x4 172mm for the horizontal y-axis.
x4 198mm for the horizontal front sides.
x4 170mm for the horizontal top bar. (The very top slot may require you to cut or use smaller pieces if you have anything attached.)

--SETTINGS AND NOTES--

I printed these at 0.2mm with White eSun PLA+.

I am using Cura with a Horizontal Expansion setting of -0.05. Please print a small test to ensure that the accents will fit properly. Also found that not all accent slots were the same size.


--OTHER COMMENTS--

For the X-Axis, I had to make the channel slots a bit smaller. You may need to use the ‘LooseFit' Channel version.

Latest Update: Created multiple channel sizes to help with variations in printer rails and filament settings. TightFit, NormalFit, LooseFit, and ExLooseFit. (see screenshot)

I recommend printing a 40mm piece of each Fit to test on each part of your printer.

I also created different widths of the Straight lines. Normal, Thinner, ExThin. (Normal is shown in the cover image.) The Thinner and ExThin versions look great on the X-Axis.

Zip file contains 70 stl files to correlate with each size and variation.
