CF31 MK3 => Replacement dust/water caps: Where to buy, Do they all fit? 3D printing-files?

#1 Post by Tobias Claren »

Hi there.

Where can I get a (cheap) replacement for the dust / water protection cap?
Especially the cap over the energy supply.
The original is, however, a continuous bar with all caps.
I found an offer of 3 caps on Ebay.
USB, power and VGA. 8.99 pounds sterling, from China.
Are they sure to fit? E.g. the VGA cap (the screw hole positions) looks different.
OK, I don't need the VGA cap, but that makes me doubt whether the power cap will fit.

Are there no 3D print files?
Such things are great for 3D printing spare parts. Rare and expensive.

The one side is one whole strip for all of them, it's not seperate.

I have the full strips for sale for $25/each shipped
The other covers are all different.

Thanks!

$25 with shipping? And above ~€23 plus import tax.

Sometimes, there was (ended offers) $21.58 plus $2.71 shipping.
Actually Power/USB/VGA for ~$12.71.
And the full strip for $24.18 with free shipping.
What kind of material is it? ABS? The hinge too?
Unfortunately I had sold the MK1 a few days before the MK3 arrived.
The MK3 was missing the flap and the keyboard is covered with replacement character stickers.
Otherwise I would have used the parts from the MK1.
Or, I would have tried to create a 3D scan.
