Acrylic 3D Printer Enclosure/Case/Cover

thingiverse

Brackets are available for a 3D printer enclosure. Bottom brackets have slots designed for 3mm sheets of acrylic - let me know if you need brackets for different widths. I'm building my enclosure with 3mm acrylic and will upload photos once it's done. A vent & filament piece is included for mounting in a 30mm hole in the top of the enclosure. Top brackets will be glued onto the acrylic to strengthen the enclosure. Hinges are already available on thingiverse for the door opening at the front. The DXF files for laser cutting the acrylic with included holes and door are provided. These DXF files make a 600x600x600 enclosure. To complete this project, you'll need the following: 1. Five sheets of acrylic, preferably laser cut to size. I've given DWG files for a 600x600x600mm enclosure including cutouts for the vent hole, cable hole and door. For the top sheet, you'll need a 30mm hole cut for venting and filament feeding. For the front sheet, you'll need a hole cut for the door and you'll need to offset the door 80mm from each perimeter (because the brackets are 75mm). Optional: on one piece, cut a 40x40mm hole, offset by 80mm from an edge for cable access (use the cover for cable hole piece for this). 2. Print: Four bottom brackets Four top brackets One vent/filament hole One door catch (either ten-by-two-millimeter magnet or twenty-by-two-millimeter magnet) Optional: one cover for cable hole 3. Glue and fit together. Print two hinges (for example, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1396038) and attach the door.
