Dust Covers

                                                 ! PRINT WITH TPU IF POSSIBLE !

I designed these dust covers to protect ports from dust, debris, and airborne particles. They can also be used to color-code or mark specific ports as reserved or restricted.

Supported Port Types

• USB-C
• USB-A
• USB-Micro B 2.0
• Lightning
• HDMI
• DisplayPort
• Ethernet
• AUX 3.5mm Audio
• USB-B

Version History & Printing Guidelines

v1.0 (Legacy)

• Design: Printed vertically (standing up).
• Limitations: Vertical printing can reduce layer adhesion strength in certain orientations, occasionally causing the covers to snap inside the port.
• Recommendation: If printing this version, use the softest TPU material available to prevent breakage. Included in the Bill of Materials (BOM).

v2.0 (Reinforced)

• Design: Model rotated horizontally (lying flat) to significantly increase structural strength.
• Requirements: This orientation requires print supports.
• Important Note: Thorough post-processing is mandatory. All support material must be completely removed, as any remaining fragments will prevent the cover from fitting into the port correctly.

v2.2 (Current Version)

• Design: Optimized iteration of v2.0 with a reduced layer height to ensure smoother insertion and a more precise fit inside the ports.
• Material Recommendation: Highly recommend printing with the softest available TPU, though PLA and PETG can also be used depending on user preference.
• Important Note: Just like v2.0, this version requires meticulous post-processing to ensure all support structures are fully removed before usage.

Future Roadmap

Planned updates will expand the library to include covers for additional common connection standards, such as:

• SD Card / Micro SD slots
• DVI Ports
• VGA Ports
• SATA / eSATA Ports
• Toslink (Optical Audio)
• XLR Ports

Happy Printing
