This extruder cover/faceplate was designed to mimic something from the world of Alien. After seeing Alien: Romulus, I wanted to create a containment chamber for a facehugger to endlessly float inside. There are infinite color options for printing this, I used antique gold pla, brick red pla, black pla and silver pla for the main body of the faceplate, and dark green PLA-CF for the bracket for the finish. I think it would work well in PETG as well if you rotate out your nozzles regularly. Print with a 0.2mm nozzle, I have some layer speeds adjusted in the speed settings. While this model DOES feature a non-3D printed part (the window from my original cover), it's not an option to select. I think it's like $4. Totally optional. For assembly, a few dabs of superglue on the edges of the frame and crossbeams work great. Same for adhering the window, place the window in and put a couple of dabs of superglue around the back edges. The two part facehugger disc will require one dab of superglue
