^ Example of Rear Left Y-Axis belt cover installed (Snaps into place, but can be fastened if needed).

I have printed the Rear Right Y-Axis covers, however I am unsure if I am going to install them, as they will only work with the stock location of the Y Axis limit switch if modified, and the file does contain a printable mod to move the limit switch, it's just I do not yet know if I am going to use it yet. I do want to keep as much of the motion system stock as possible to make future repairs easier and more straight forward.
