I’ve designed a 3D printable cover for my Electra One’s. It came out quite nice so I thought I’d share it with you. I’ll put up the stl (or probably .3mf file since it’s multi-coloured) soon-ish for free so anyone with a printer can print their own. It rests on a brim on the inside of the cover, so not on the encoders. It’s quite a snug fit but not too snug. It’s easy to put on and take off. I forgot to clean the printing bed before printing, so there is some discolouration on my print. I used Bambulab matte PLA (black and white) for printing on my Bambulab P1S printer. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/electraone/original/2X/7/757d12cc9c1202949983fa1e9e9f20a5da7daafe.jpeg) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/electraone/original/2X/6/6f3ee0dbdeb945e6935f5485916b72be57d96ca3.jpeg) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/electraone/original/2X/e/ec0540d4905fcb4fd7a375f57224515dc77486ea.jpeg) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/electraone/original/2X/b/bc43e4996b79789434fc242e63ea5284d6b3596a.jpeg) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/electraone/original/2X/e/e395fdb9c6697c061ee71e152d67b1097f113899.jpeg) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/electraone/original/2X/9/91dbc4a362b5dd0ba71349067cbe1a1cd11fe501.jpeg) ---

Now we just need one for the E1 Mini! Would this protect the encoders and display while the device is in transit? I’m looking for a case for the Mini, but a cover might provide even more protection depending on the case….. ---

Yeah, this would definitely protect it enough. I’d put something like a rubber band around it to keep the cover in place. I don’t have a Mini but based on the dimensions I could probably whip up at least a prototype. ---

I have shared the simplified 3D models in this thread: [3D model](https://forum.electra.one/t/3d-model/2184) Simplified = exterior data only, no internal superstructures included. I will try to print one today, but I expect that changing colours on my old prusa mk3s will be pain 🙂 ---

I think there are 5 colour changes in the model, so hopefully not too much hassle… But if you want I can send you a cover @martin , no worries! 😉 I’ll look in to the Mini, I took the model you made for the Mk-I & Mk-II as a guideline for this one. So I should be able to make one for the Mini the same way. ---
