Replacement Printer Parts

I bought a kit a couple of months ago and though I like the orange, I bought some eSUN translucent blue PETG and would like to replace most of the parts with it, though I have one issue, the LCD mounts that came with my kit have zip tie holes however the ones I can download from the site do not, any chance I can get the correct files or maybe the zip file on the site updated with it?

Also what sized zip ties are good for replacement when I run out. thickness and width.

Prusa i3 MK 2.5S, Ender 5 Plus, Monoprice Mini Delta.

What I have found is that there is a versioning disparity between the OpenSCAD files, and the generated STL files. The best thing you can do is fire up OpenSCAD, render the source SCAD file, then export as STL.

With that said, you may want to consider printing my version of the thingiverse replacement y-corners. I have remade the Front and the Rear. My version is 5mm shorter and is more in line with the original Y-corner height. And if you put felt pads on these, you can use my Z-frame corner feet to prevent the printer from resonating.

If you look at my replacement front, you'll see that I don't use zip ties and they should be a closer match to what you currently have on your printer. I'm currently finishing a test print of these to see if I need to make any adjustments to the LCD support spacing.

Dimensions PNG

and an 8 inch (200mm) or greater caliper is recommended.
