I always liked the idea of the iOS settings icon on top of a stepper, but didn't wanted to cover my extruder stepper, because of the cooling of the motor bottom.
Then I found the solution from Félix but it doesn't fit on the bear motor x-end and (sorry Félix) it isn't exactly the iOS icon.
A new solution was therefore needed. Thanks to the STEP files provided, I was able to generate a solution that I would like to share.
In order not to summarise all the tips in detail here: Read the articles by Félix and GerryPB about the tricks and settings for printing - they also apply here. I will only go into the specifics of my design here. The whole model is attached to the free thread of the X-axis motor with just one screw (M3x20). The cover is held in place by a keyway and 2 magnets on the base.
All parts in PLA because of the precision - but to be honest I haven't tried any other material. Base, axis and cover with 0.4 nozzle + 0.2 layer thickness, gears with 0.25 nozzle and 0.7 layer thickness (maybe a bit exaggerated).
Always print parts face down (3mf or gcode shows the right direction)
In case of maintenance you have to remove the whole visualizer to reach the screws of the motor or the belt.
If the big gear and axle are glued together, take a pliers or a opening tool (iFixit) to grip the axle and pop it from the stepper axle. Do not touch the gear, its very fragile. If the gear isn't glued remove it before.
M3 x 20 mm (head shape does not matter)
2 round magnets 6 x 2 mm
1.5 cm black film
