Hi all,
While waiting to make my dust shoe, I made a real simple and cheap dust guard for my Y rail.
My main goal was to make it cheap, simple and NO un-assembly of SO3.
So here’s what I came up with and it works fine.
Make a template, cut and fold the plastic sheet, tape it with scotch tape, add foam strip, make an U shaped with the white strip (?) glue them together. It snaps on snugly and does a nice job of keeping dust away from your pulleys.
My apologies, I should actually read, rather than just look at the pretty pictures. My thanks to @cgallery for actually paying attention and providing a useful reply.
Yes, tkx cgallery, " push-on trim " seems the right name. I learnt something today
Will, this forum will be dull without you
Here’s another one I made with rigid Plexi. I used a heat gun to bend and shape, then added a tiny U shaped aluminum with screws that tighten the cover against the plate. Make a small hole for the home switch, add screw and bolt to a small piece of U shape aluminum to trigger the switch.
(don’t know what it’s called in English) and some adhesive foam strip.
