Clear Plastic Lid for Original Prusa Enclosure

prusaprinters

I wanted a clear plastic (½-inch Lexan in my case) lid for the Original Prusa enclosure.  So I developed a Fusion 360 model for the lid that includes remixed versions of the Prusa hinge bracket and handle to accommodate a variable lid thickness of 1 to 13mm.  To accommodate a thicker lid component, the hinge bracket, handle and top plug required modification.Included is a PDF drawing of the plastic lid component that can be used to cut and drill the plastic lid part (either DIY from plastic sheet material, or sent to a fabricator to have made).The model files provided include STEP and STL files for most commonly available plastic sheet materials thicknesses including:1/8-inch (0.125")3/16-inch (0.1875")1/4-inch (0.250")3mm4mm5mmAlso included are the Fusion f3d files which have a single user parameter (described in one of the photos) were a specific thickness of the plastic lid can be specified and it adjusts the offsets for the hinge brackets and handle to match the lid thickness.  For the STL and STEP files, both the handle and the hinge lever are attached to the lid with M3 flat-head screws and hex-nuts. A second Fusion 360 model is provided for those who prefer to use M4 screws and heat-set nuts.
