Another IKEA Lack Enclosure Set

thingiverse

** == WARNING! == **\r\n\r\n(2019-01-21)\r\n\r\nIf you really want it to be fully enclosed and have a Prusa i3 Mk3, this may not fit because the design is tailored for my Wanhao i3+. I built it originally for that printer, and it seemed to work okay without doors on. I usually just use plexiglass back panels to reduce drafts instead of doors. However, with my Mk3, I've noticed that because of its longer bed and how the wiring works, you need a lot more y-axis space than before. My Mk3 is turned diagonal, but if I had both doors on there would be contact with the bed at the extreme end of the y axis.\r\n\r\nIt looks like any Lack design that has panels inset would run into the same problem, which is a shame because flush mounting plexiglass means extra drilling/cutting. With just the doors flush-mount it would fit okay and work fine without them, but the aesthetic would suffer from having some panels flush and others inset.\r\n\r\n# Another Ikea Lack Enclosure Set\r\n\r\nThere are already many of these out there now than when I made this design, but since I have these and use them, I decided to post it anyway.\r\n\r\n### Why this set?\r\nOne feature that makes this stand out is the two-piece spacer feet. The bottom piece attaches to the Lack leg, while the actual spacer part just screws on to that. Credit goes where credit is due - I think I first saw the idea in a design by @thebeetleuk [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2776584) and the cutaway view explains it well. However, I didn't like the look of those pieces so I redesigned them from scratch. The screw-on spacers make it very easy to print new sizes and switch them out.\r\n\r\nAnother feature is that all parts can be used as either a top or bottom piece. I've tried to include all variations you might want, made for 3mm plexiglass.\r\n\r\n### Somethings not right\r\n* The rest of the hinge pieces haven't been made yet. I'm hoping to make and post them soon - they're just rounded cylinders that require notching the plexiglass slightly to fit over the hinge.\r\n\r\n* The threads on the spacers are slightly off, and I'm having trouble fixing this in Fusion360. I usually add a rubber gasket to the bottom of the screw piece to make it fit tightly, but it leaves a small gap that you might not like. Suggestions for how to fix this are welcome.
