Holster-style screen protector (arbitar)
A vase-mode sleeve that slides over the front of the console and grips the kickstand bars — a quick print with a free STL and an editable Onshape model.
What it takes
- 3D print
Difficulty 2 of 3 — moderate.
Details
arbitar's protector is printed in vase mode with a 1 mm extrusion width; channels inside grip the kickstand bars, and the deeper the console goes in, the tighter it holds. Use a brim, since the print is tall, and pause part-way to test the channel width because it depends on your printer's calibration. The 4.2 KB STL is on MEGA and the Onshape document is public for tweaks; Snoozer94 suggested adding a safety clip.
