A Clip-On Door Hinge and Handle for Ultimaker 2 Plexiglass: Create a Secure Enclosure. To build a secure enclosure for your Ultimaker 2, craft a pair of adjustable hinges and a robust handle using 11x12 plexiglass to form a functional door. This custom hinge design enables the door to swing wide open against the printer exterior when not in use, reaching up to a full 270 degrees. To seal the deal further, attach two tiny magnets on either side for secure closure – it's as easy as attaching the hinges! Using a cover-up or encloser has its benefits. Firstly, heating your print bed will occur more swiftly and consistently with this arrangement. Additionally, printing materials made from ABS won't suffer the warping that sometimes comes along with rapid heat fluctuation – minimizing unnecessary setbacks while optimizing efficiency is paramount in every maker's workflow. A clear-cut installation approach ensures a smooth setup: obtain plexiglass for an exterior door that fits just beyond printer proportions; ensure these sturdy clips seamlessly attach without strain. When assembling, slide hinges pieces onto corresponding door and machine hooks. Insert additional rod support at the hinge pivot for increased durability via melt-connection or a finishing nail attachment. Place each hinge section in strategic areas around your Ultimaker to balance the fit snugly – keep room clear above and between hardware features so an expansive motion won't hit these small but key components! Mark accurate points on door sheet before driving drill in tight for sturdy screws secure installation, which should come together perfectly following those clear printed marks!
