Enclosure Corner Post

thingiverse

This is a corner post design to support an enclosure mounted on an Ikea Lack table, and house my Prusa I3 MK3S printer. Two different posts are used, one for the back two posts and one for the front two posts, where the doors are attached. The doors are secured using 3D printed hinges and superglue. The back posts are designed to attach to the acrylic sheets on one side only due to support limitations. However, when two posts are combined, each supporting opposite sides, they work well together. The acrylic sheets should then simply slide in and be held in place. I am using a 550x550mm MDF Wood sheet for the top (6mm thick), which can also be any thickness. The sides are made of 500x400mm Acrylic sheets (2mm thick, this is crucial). The posts are cut in half due to print size constraints but are designed to be bolted together as well as to the table and top MDF sheet. A hole must be drilled in the top of the MDF wood sheet to allow for filament to feed through. I have used a 10mm drill bit and included the file for the filament guard to fit into the hole. I have utilized 40% scale printed Benchy's as door handles since they look great! Unfortunately, when cutting the acrylic sheet for the door, it cracked significantly, so I recommend buying the right size of acrylic sheets or taking extra care when cutting them.
