Have been meaning to post this in the group for a while now.

Designed this cover in TinkerCAD. I wanted to provide some protection for the ALT motor, but also decided to put one on the AZ motor.? Just slips over the motor.

The .stl file is downloadable from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6117144

Nice cover Mike. I'm going to try one out.

Hi Mike,
Great job !
Have you ever tried these covers in hot weather ??
Just wondering if the motor could heat up? with this cover.
But I really don't know if this type of motor really heat or not...
Another question : I have no 3D printer => I would buy it on line though 3D printers online. But when I open the .stl file, I can't see the units. Are the units in inch or mm ?
Thanks for your replies

Mike doesn¡¯t seems to be around?
Could anyone tells me if the units in his .stl file are in inch or mm ?
I could only open this file via paint but then I don¡¯t have the units, ?and the 3D printers company on the web ask if it¡¯s in mm or inch¡­
thanks in advance?

Raphael, I'm guessing - looking at the picture - it is about 2.6" in length ... which would be 66mm. Whichever is closest to the number you see for the length.?

Sorry Raphael - I missed the message.

The units are in mm.? Designed in TinkerCAD.

Also, I typically print items using PETG filament, it has a higher glass transition temperature (85C) than PLA (60C).? I've left PLA items in my vehicle and I've found they have warped if I've parked in the sun too long.

Thanks Mike
finally I found ?a 3D printing website where, after uploaded the file, it indicates the global dimension if the file is in mm or in inch so I realized that the file was in mm.
There is a lot of material available (see here ? )?
Plastics are quite cheap and I selected ASA : 10 € + shipping) as ASA have good UV properties and HDT (glass transition ????) ?is a nice 96-102C , higher than PFA or PETG https://craftcloud3d.com/material-guide# )
i selected it white to avoid heating in daytime if exposed to sun
I will receive the 2 pieces Friday normally!
great !
thanks for everything?
Raphael

3D pieces received!
looks great !
Thanks Mike for having shared this !!!
