I wanted to cover up the motors and belt wheels on my X-Carve, but found the two files on here not to be compatible with the newer model X-Carve.
The Inside mount would work, but I have added support to beef up the Y rails, so I needed to make the cover thicker to clear it, and I wanted to make the skin of it thicker. I removed the holes to allow me to just drill holes for M5 screws to join the screws with coupling nuts.
The outside motor cover did not include holes for the x-chain rail mount, wire harness or the limit switches.

I made a second version of the wheel covers today that gives more clearance for any Y axis stiffening mods you've added. They are marked V2
I had a problem with the motors heating up and warping the motor covers, and I've wished I had access to the eccentric nuts to adjust the V Wheels without taking the cover off, so I remade the enclosures too, with holes for ventilation and nut access. Those are also marked V2. I also embedded brass inserts as I had a problem with stripping the holes.
EDIT 6/29/18
I thought it would be nice to cool the steppers down with some 80mm fans, so I made covers with mounts for them. 80mm is kinda old school, but that's me!
EDIT 7/2/18
I have added a Version 4 which is just 3 with only holes on the bottom to keep more dust out, which was the point originally.
EDIT 12/10/18
I reprinted the V Wheel covers, but this time I made them a bit thicker, and added holes to attach the guard to the idler wheel bolts. I replaced the M5 bolt on the idlers with longer ones and secured the guard with a nut. They are marked V3, and are my preferred print to date.
