Model information
Description
A cover to reduce light from the LCD screen after installing Klipper. The author provides a version styled after the Creality Hero action figure and a blank version for modification. The part is a friction fit onto the control box. The author states it will fit on the CR-10 V2 and V3, but notes the original CR-10 may have a different size control box. The piece is 4.93" (125.197mm) wide.
Printing instructions:
- The model may import in the incorrect orientation; the author states you will need to flip it over so the flat side is towards the build surface.
- To achieve a good first layer, the author used a Height Range Modifier to set the 1st layer to 1 perimeter and used Hilbert Curve as the bottom infill pattern to avoid conflict with a carbon fiber texture sheet.
The author reports that printing in white may result in a square blue shape due to light passing through the plastic.

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

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.</p><p>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…</p><p> </p><p>I spent way too much time on this…</p><p> </p>
