Glass Display Case Slider door standoff

thingiverse

I have a display case that I salvaged from a store that closed its doors when its owner retired. The case is now the centerpiece of my mineral displays. However, the glass doors had spent years collecting dust in storage, never getting a chance to see action. As soon as I installed them, I noticed they were flimsy at the top and clanked loudly against the tracks. This noise problem explained why they went unused all along. A lengthy online search led me to find reference clips for sliding glass doors on some website. The clips' purpose is twofold - protect the delicate glass and quiet the sliding mechanism. But buying these parts wholesale proved impossible, so I decided to create my own solutions.
