Side panel for Monoprice Mini with cable routing
Description
Side panel for the Monoprice Select Mini (MPSM) printer (v1 or v2, also known as the Malyan M200) that incorporates a bump-out on the rear for the mandatory bed rewiring. This design is quite thin (1.2mm) and is very flexible, and the area around the micro SD card holder and USB port is _even thinner_ to make the SD card easier to access. I find that between the thinness of the print and the flexibility, this design makes removing the SD card _vastly_ easier than either the original steel side panel or any of the other designs which are thicker. **Update 14 Sep 2021:** Added the provision to add a ziptie to the bed wiring routing hole. **Background** Yes - this has been done a bunch of times - so many times that I couldn't really figure out which one was first. I was going to list them all as sources and this as a remix but that was too much work with Thingiverse's search function being kinda a mess. [superbenk](https://www.thingiverse.com/superbenk/about) remodeled one of them in Fusion 360 and shared that with me, (and didn't post it so I can't list that as a source) but with the recent changes in Fusion 360 licensing and sharing, I was able to view and modify the design but _couldn't print it_. _(well, that's less than useful)_ So, I copied his base profile, made a couple little tweaks, and remodeled it from scratch as the design is pretty simple anyway. The idea is that you can extract the grommet from under the print bed and use that in the bump out, but I sized it too small and the grommet doesn't fit. So, I wound up just kinda stuffing the grommet in the bumpout and it accomplishes more or less the same thing. I took a page from my Prusa i3 Mk3 and ran the printer bed cables along with a length of ABS filament inside a spiral cable wrap. Added on WileyKyoto's excellent [MPSM wire brace](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2710870) and had a really nice, reliable external wiring for the bed heater cables. Printed in translucent PLA, it's thin enough and clear enough that you can almost read through it.
