I did a mock up of the JD backpack based on suggestions from @WBS00001 and @ptp from my C3PO JD head post.
It has a male clip on the bottom to slide into the 3rd middle female slot inbetween JD's legs to anchor the backpack cover. It also has two posts that slide into the top two screw holes of JD to help steady the cover.
There is a dual female slot on the back where you can mount 2 things like sensor modules or light weight items.
I opted not to add a male clip at the top of JD as the other anchor point. I don't think it's needed for a cover, but I may make an alternative version and incorporate that idea. I feel like it would only be needed if you wanted to do something extreme like mount a 3rd foot or 2nd head.
There are open slots on the top, bottom and sides for wires and the switch side has a big enough opening "most" fingers should be able to still access the switch.
I have not print tested it yet, I wanted to share the rough draft first for feedback.
The backpack as it would appear on JD:
The backpack by itself.
I welcome suggestions and input. I think this is a community project.

great to hear.cant wait to see the cpo jd.
This is just the backpack for JD. The bottom does not leave much room for wires, so I'm going to chance it up a little so cables don't get pinched.
oops wrong posted sorry
C3PO is in another thread, lets keep this one just for the JD backpack.
The newly fixed JD backpack cover. It's a little thicker in some areas and a little lighter in others. The biggest change is that the 3 female slots on the bottom stick out more so cables are not squished and pinched over top of the EZ-B. The picture show how much it sticks out.
Unless there are additional suggestions I'll upload it to Thingiverse tomorrow.
looking good.howlong is the backpack.
The JD body length is 77mm. The backpack is 82.07mm So it's 5mm longer. I could make it even, but to have those 3 female slots at the bottom and still be able to have cables come out of the bottom, it needs the extra 5mm. Otherwise all cable routing (other than for the head) would be out of the sides.
i just notest something.with the packback do we still have accses to the on/off swits ?
