This topic was prompted by a comment-question from @mager33

> PS: I really want a desk-saver; one that does not break the bank.

in [What are the dimensions of the v5 kit enclosure?](https://discourse.zynthian.org/t/what-are-the-dimensions-of-the-v5-kit-enclosure/8573)

I wanted to check that you meant ‘deck saver’ - kind of a somewhat sturdy ‘dust-cover’-‘screen protector’-etc.

And ask if anyone else has worked-or-thought on this,

and mainly, I wanted to say “me too”.

Were you thinking of making one? What ‘method’ - 3d print or …?

A plastic cover I can put on to to keep of the dust. Ideally clear plastics.

Don’t laugh, I did not promote to real CAD yet. And my Ender 3pro has a printbed that is to small, so 2 pieces.

Cool. I am currently using a cardboard box that is somewhat bigger than it needs to be! Thinking about making a cover from plastic sheet.
