Improved Printable Panel Clip for Lulzbot Mini 3D Printer

pinshape

SummaryStrong, Hollow Clip for Attaching 3mm Acrylic Panels These clips are an excellent replacement for lasercut acrylic clips. They have the same profile but with improvements for better fit when printed and modified to provide good strength, flexibility, and minimal material usage. Designed as part of a complete enclosure kit for the Lulzbot Mini 3D Printer, these clips and panels can be purchased from TabSynth Design Works LLC at drazzticaction.com/products-page-2/3dprinters/lulzbot-acrylic-enclosure/. Print SettingsResolution: 0.27 Rafts: No Supports: No Infill: None NotesThis part is designed to be hollow, flexible, and strong where needed. Post-PrintingThe clips should slide smoothly onto the 3mm Acrylic panels with minimal friction when printed on a well-tuned printer. They also fit securely on the metal chassis of the Lulzbot Mini with a smooth sliding action, staying in place despite vibrations. How I Designed ThisDesigned using Inkscape to refine profiles and OpenSCAD to extrude profiles into combined hollow objects. The OFFSET feature in OpenSCAD was used to scale profiles by specific amounts for uniform wall thickness, creating a hollow printable part that slicers handle well.
