I saw that MakerWorld has a contest to design a cover for the new Ecoflow Rapid Pro X 300w power bank. It looks pretty cool, and I had an idea for a cover that can be used to mount it to a Skådis pegboard (or wall mount it). The design is completed (I hope), and I'm printing a prototype now, to test the fit. I'll post some more pics when it's done, with a link to the design over on MakerWorld.
I decided to go for broke with the tree supports on this one, since it's something I may never use (unless I win the contest lol), But I didn't want to have to reprint it, should something fail with the print due to a missing bit of support. The cover for the Rapid Pro X is a bit challenging to print too. It really doesn't have a good edge to use as the base for printing, unless it were set on it's back, and then the strength would be compromised. I had to trim a fraction of a mm from one edge to get it to print without an "unsupported cantilever" warning in the slicer, and with some brim, it seems to be doing OK. Once this plate is done, I will need to print a dummy model of the Rapid Pro X, to test the fit with the cover design and mount (and that is a 4-5h print by itself).

9/4/2025: I just posted my entry into the MakerWorld "Power Meets Creativity" Design Contest, which is promoting the new EcoFlow Rapid Pro X power bank (which will be released soon). Below is the link to the design if you want to check it out.

The design was pretty much completed a couple days ago, but as always the "nice to haves" and the "just one more things" conspired against me, and it took longer to test and complete. I ended up burning the better part of a spool to test the changes, but I'm happy with the end result, even if I may never actually use it. Below are some pics from the various prototypes in no particular order. The first pic though, is my box of prototype scraps, which is missing a few parts that ended up in the trash after I decided to do something different with the design.
