After installing Klipper the LCD panel on the control box is blank so this makes it a bit more fun.

A cover to cut down on the amount of light from the LCD screen after installing Klipper. 

I made mine look like that Creality Hero action figure they have in advertisements. There is also a blank one if you want to modify it.

It is just friction fit onto the control box. Will fit on the CR-10 V2, V3 but not sure about other models. I think the original CR-10 has a different size control box. This piece is 4.93" (125.197mm) wide. 

It won't import in the correct orientation so you will need to flip it over so flat side is towards the build surface. 

One of the ones in the photos was printed on a carbon fiber texture sheet made by ChowThink. To get a really good first layer I used a Height Range Modifier to set the 1st layer to 1 perimeter and used Hilbert Curve as bottom infill pattern. This way the diagonal likes of they typical Monotonic infill pattern did not conflict with the carbon fiber pattern.

Oh, if you print in white it doesn't look so great since the light goes through the plastic and you get a square blue shape…

 

I spent way too much time on this…
