I recommend printing with 60% infill (less caused snapping when slipping on) Supports highly recommended. as is Cura. I have a picture showing the cura settings used for good tearaway support. 2 walls, Bed adhesion suggested. Ring around eq is purposely loose. Use Electrical tape around flat end to tighten. Also recommend some electrical tape under the front of the cap to add additional grip on the closing action. Officially confident in design after some day to day use. Electrical tape additions are highly recommended. Added pictures Finalized 05/04/2019 New version up. Highly improved. I recommend removing the tank before trying to slip it on. Wrap electrical tape around the end. This makes fit good and makes it hold very solidly. Once on it holds well. Found you can almost flip it closed when you work the hinge enough. It's fun zippo like action. Version History: V1 - It's a box and it fits, neat v2. it's a box with a hinge and a sized rectangle. It shatters upon first intended use. v3- Made box more aesthetically pleasing, customized hinge for functionality. Reinforced parts that shattered in version 2. This one lasted a day before more parts that needed reinforcement were revealed. V4 Reduced height between cap top(box) and device ring. Attempted additional reinforcement. .. Was too small and revealed an imperfection in the side of the ring. Also went too far with reducing distance. That sucks. V4.3 Properly resized ring to account for additional structural enhancements. Improved height to not compromise hinge functionality. 4.5 Updated hinge slightly, increased size on ring. Current best working model. 4.6 Final aesthetic tweaks and adjustments, added grip for the top. Cap can practically work on it's own now. Mission accomplished. All EQ users rejoice!
