Summary

Simple keyboard cap/cover for the ZX Spectrum Plus & Amstrad +2/+3 Models to keep the dust out of the keys. My printer is not big enough to print a full case dust cover.

The cover fits snug on top of the keys only and works with all the plus models and the later Amstrad +2/+3. The fit is a little bit looser on the Amstrad models as the keyboard design is different but not enough to warrant a completely different cover.

The design has matching lines to those on the Spectrum case and a cut-out for a rainbow badge, basically the one used on the plus model computers. I printed mine to match the cover, but you can just stick in a reproduction colour sticker or even a real badge if you can find one.

I've added some photos with examples on how you can add logos to the design if you have a compatible 3D printer. If you want a logo this is easily achieved using a slicer that supports dual colour printing. Just add the logo to the print bed as well as the dust cover, move the logo to where you want it and change the colour. I use Bambu slicer to do this.

For print settings I use 0.2mm standard on my Bambu P1S with supports which helps the bridging of the badge cut-out. I also needed to rotate the design 45degrees so it fits on the bed.
