## Improvement
|
||||
Added the possibility to route cables on the bottom of the cover.
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
I liked the design of the old Voron 2.2 covers more than the current design so I based my mod on them.
|
||||
I liked the design of the old Voron 2.2 covers more than the current design so I based my mod on them. But due to several requests I also included the current 2.4 covers.
|
||||
|
||||
This mod allows to route cables that are hidden in the extrusions to the bottom compartment.
|
||||
To achieve that the inner part of the z belt cover is a bit thicker and a path is cut out on the bottom where cables can be routed. The overall dimensions are the same as the stock 2.2 covers.
|
||||
To be able to achieve a clutter-free look i hid cables in the extrusions as much as possible.
|
||||
So i also wanted to have a hidden way to route the cables to the bottom compartment. To achieve that i made
|
||||
the z belt cover a bit thicker and cut a path on the bottom where cables can be routed without being seen.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Be careful to restrict the cable in the bottom compartment so it does not rub on your z-belts.
|
||||
The files are named with v2.2 in the filename for the 2.2 version and v2.4 in the filename for the 2.4 version.
|
||||
|
||||
## Things to consider during installation
|
||||
> The modified z belt covers are thicker than the originals. You may have to move up your z-rails, if you installed them flush to the top of the original covers. If you don't want to do this you can use the rail notch version, which has a cut-out for the rails.
|
||||
|
||||
> Make sure to constrain the cable you are routing through to the bottom, so it does not interfere with the z-belts. Use a zip tie or tape to hold the cable securely in position / away from your z-belts.
