Totoro Cover for Ender 3 (Pro) QR Code by akizilcay

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

This is a 2 part print of a Totoro themed QR code cover for the Ender 3 models (3, 3 Pro, 3X, 3 V2).
There are two files available. The one file will print the body of the cover along with the eyes, nose and stomach's small inserts. The other file will print one large insert that is meant to be press fit into the main body.
Printing:

You're welcome to print the pieces in any two combinations of colors you like. I preferred white/black.


I printed mine in PLA, but I'm sure other materials would work too


Infill will not make much of difference, though i would avoid 0%

I printed with a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm resolution. The whiskers will not fully print at this resolution, but this is not a problem as the cutout from the body will still create a full outline. Using smaller nozzles will make more of the whiskers print.
Steps to assemble:

Lay the "TotoroInsert" part flat with the wide base facing the bottom. Take the nose, eyes and stomach pieces (shaped like small arrows) and gently press them into the insert. I would recommend using tweezers to place the pieces and using a large flat object such as the flat side of a scraper to push the pieces into their spots


Take the "TotoroInsert" and press fit it into the shell from the inside.

Slide the cover over the QR code on your Ender 3!
Note: If your pieces are too loose, you can always superglue the sections together. Your pieces shouldn't come out too tight as there is 0.3-0.4mm clearance throughout the whole print, but if it does i would gently sand/file as needed.
