Stronger Rear Plate Guide with OEM Nozzle Wiper Pad Slot

Rear guide for Kobra 3 deck, Best to print in PETG or better. But I have used PLA for hundreds of hours without issue printing both PLA and PETG. If you need higher temperatures you should probably print this in something more heat resistant like ABS.

**Updated on Mar 4, 2025: added notch to ensure there is no contact with the motor.

**Updated on May 23, 2025: adjusted spacing on the model for a better fitment and plate alignment. Uploaded new stl and profiles.

To mount it follow these steps:

- heating up the plate might be necessary to remove and/or reinsert your screw back in place, just depends on how your plate is sitting. But I would recommend powering down while uninstalling and reinstalling the circuit board.

- remove the rubber nozzle wiping pad and install it into your new adapter

- unscrew the rear right screw of the deck

- remove the aluminum spacer from under the deck

- remove the 3 screws for the nozzle wiper assembly on the back left

- remove the 2 screws for thick wire from the adapter

- remove the 2 screws for the circuit board

- reinstall the circuit board and thick wire onto your newly printed adapter (see photos)

- insert the metal spacer into the guide (see photos)

- insert the adapter guide with the metal spacer installed

- position the guide under the deck matching the holes

- insert and tighten all screws, I started with the 3 screws in the back left by the nozzle wiper.

The original version of this item was just a little too flimsy and wasn't exactly lined up with the back of the plate after a few uses. I filled in the right guide and added a bar to connect to the underside of the tray.
