IKEA Enclosure - Plexiglass Mid Section Bracket (multiple sizes) -- v2 (Updated 2018/07/28)

thingiverse

I wanted to prevent the plexiglass from warping in the middle section of the Original Prusa i3 MK3 Enclosure - Ikea Lack Table (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2864118). I discovered this fantastic design https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2974739, which perfectly solved my issue. However, I also needed to ensure that it would be easy to slide the plexiglass back into the bottom mid brackets when the top part of the enclosure slides back into place with the bottom part. To achieve this, I modified the top part of the bracket to catch and guide the plexiglass into place more smoothly. Additionally, I added a rib to make it stronger and stiffer. I uploaded brackets for various thicknesses of the plexiglass plus 0.2mm tolerance: * **2_2** for metric: 2.0mm -- imperial: 0.080in or 3/32" * **3_2** for metric: 3.0mm -- imperial: 0.118in or < 1/8" * **4_7** for metric: 4.5mm -- imperial: 0.177 in or < 3/16" * **6_2** for metric: 6.0mm -- imperial: 0.236 in or < 1/4" You can pick and print the size you need. If you have any feedback, please share it in the comments, and don't forget to upload your "makes"! Enjoy! **UPDATE -- 2018/07/28:** Version 2 (added a "_v2" at the end of each filename) is now available. This update includes some tweaks and added fillets. These changes allow you to print the bracket on its side, making it harder to break if accidentally dropped onto the enclosure's top. If you've already printed the original version, there's no need to re-print them unless they break. I'm still using my originals with great success after a month of use. I tested the new design by printing it with and without supports, and it works either way. The new thumbnails show three version 2 printed brackets (Left: supports by Slic3r, Middle: no support, and Right: supports by MeshMixer). **The Collection -- (2018/07/29)** This is part of my collection of remixed and original parts created for the Prusa IKEA Enclosure (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2864118).
