I designed a Voron 2.4 Top hat

Hi, I need to print large parts, but my Voron 2.4 350mm max height is limited to 310mm because Stealthburner (its PTFE tube and CAN bus cable) hit the enclosure ceiling.
So I've designed a "top-hat" mod for Voron 2 350mm and I'd like to share it with everyone.

You can find mod instructions and files in the link https://makerspet.com/blog/voron-2-top-hat-mod/.
My max height went from 310mm to 355mm (before the carriages starts edging off the vertical rails).

The design files are Fusion 360, STL, 3MF for 250mm, 300mm and 350mm.
I've included instructions to generate custom-size top hats - if you, say, fancy 500mm.

In the spirit of Voron and its mods, I hope this is useful...

PS. I know, there are a few other top hat mods out there, but I needed this one designed in a way that replicates 2020 "extrusions" on its top, so I can re-attach my webcam to the very top, so it doesn't collide with the extruder.

Looks like some of the cereal boxes. They are being used for this purpose.
It's an airtight container for a filament spool. Somehow my filament goes bad (wet) quickly if I leave it in a non-airtight box (with desiccant included), even PETG.
I tried using a Sunlu dryer box - that hardly made any difference. So I solved the problem once and for all by keeping each spool - and printing out of - airtight containers.
Here are instructions and STL/3MF/Fusion files https://makerspet.com/blog/airtight-filament-spool-container/

21 cup Rubbermaid container - that's what I needed! I have a husky airtight. But it's a bit of a pain working with a 4 spool box. I'd rather have 1 container per spool to make shuffling them around simpler.
 
Nice. I'm looking to solve the same problem in about the same way. I'm curious, did you solve the issue where the Stealthburner will hit the front top extrusion if printing on the front edge of the build plate? Or do you just avoid slicing anything that tall in the very front?

EDIT: Oops... I see you mention that in the full write-up. Could possibly (or at least almost?) be solved by a revision to the Stealthburner face. I may look into that. Not because it's likely to be necessary in printing, but to make it more foolproof / resistant to human error. Anyway, thanks for sharing the great design.

Sorry, I've been out of touch with printing on this Voron for a long time and forgot the details.
