Cubic Enclosure

thingiverse

Enclosure with wooden edges and thin plastic panels with a black iron pipe base. It's around $50 for the panels, another $100 for the wood, and $150 for the pipe. In Canadian dollars.I used 8 1.5" x 3/4" x 8' boards glued together to form 1.5 " x 1.5" x 8' boards using a dozen of the 1.5clips I printed off to keep the edges together and clean. Ensure you have 2' by 2' thin plastic panels, sometimes there is a quarter inch extra along a dimension, the slot will be deep enough that if you rough cut it on a table saw, it won't be visible. Print 4 or the corners for the top and 4 for the bottom, not critical but there is no bottom panel and the fillets are inverted so it can be bolted down if you wish. Test fit a panel with a corner on either end to get the measurement each wooden edge has to be, err on longer. They will all be cut to the same size, so check it several times. Once you have 12 bits of wood you need to do a practice cut a few times with some scrap with a table saw or equivalent to get a blades widh cut along the length, tested with the corner piece to ensure the slot lines up. Do one and test fit it with two corner pieces and a sheet, it should be fairly close but doesn't need to be perfect. Once you have appropriate slots cut in the wooden edges it is mostly a matter of screwing it together. Sliding the plastic in can be a pain, it's floppy, just have patience with it, shake it and guide it until it drops in, if there is too much of a bow, trim the plastic a few mm.The door will use the same size edge lengthwise, but just 3/4" this time and the slot adjusment will have to be redone, same idea as before. 4 of those and assemble, put in a screw or two, it's tight enough to stay together on it's own. Use the drill guide with the hinges and screw them in upside down, there is likely going to be a small dip with the door regardless. Use the plug to finish the hinges or just use a nail. The latch has circles to embed magnets, and are held in place with a screw, it's not terribly strong, but does help.I used 3/4" black pipe because I had some around, it's rather tricky to get the size you want, use pipe wrenches, The pipe clamps can be used to form a shelf or two underneath, I made mine 3 ' high so it helps with wobble. The feet are fit for a 3/4" black iron plug so each leg is height adjustable.You will need a base to put the enclosure on I glued 3 10 " wide boards together as it's just beyond two feet and then I glued a square board to fit inside on top. There are edge covers to help guide the enclosure in place and cover up where the boards join, also hides larger holes for power plug that has to go inside.Latchwithlock is not printable by me, I just use the rectangle loose now. EDIT, did up a 3 part version that can be glued together.I made a spool holder to go sideways so it all fits in with my anycubic vyper.
