Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a file to 3D print a MP60 Anemone Guard. I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Hello,
I just figured it out last weekend. Yes, using the version for the MP40, you can scale the X and Y up by 120% and scale the Z (the height) by 63% to have exactly the same height, but I prefer scaling the Z by 60%. In my opinion, using 60% makes it look like a more beautiful custom design. The bottom ring is a perfect fit, but the top ring needs a bit of sanding to press it in perfectly. Thank you so much for your help.

But now, I'm looking for a MP60 dryside case. I might try to stretch it out too. Also, this is really fun! Stole a hobby from my kids.

If you need a file for the anemone guard, let me know. Once again, thank you! There are so many things to do for Voltech.

In my situation, I dropped the dry side mp60 and it broke the case, so I need to make a new case assembly, not the actual cover itself.
