Clip-on screen cover (FelixAtter, X-Stranger remix)
A simple clip-on cover that prints flat with no supports and keeps about 0.5 mm off the glass — for throwing the console in a bag.
What it takes
- 3D print
Difficulty 2 of 3 — moderate.
Details
FelixAtter's cover clips onto the front of the console with roughly half a millimetre of clearance to the screen, prints flat without supports (about 29 g of PLA at 0.2 mm) and is free to use, copy or sell; it is listed on Printables as 'lens cover for uconsole'. X-Stranger's remix, which Felix endorsed, thins the insert (measured with calipers) and rounds the remaining corners so nothing touches the glass. Kirou called the fixation 'very clever' and several owners confirm a good fit.
