Insulation FoamBoard Enclosure Connector Clips

thingiverse

After months of successful summer printing, fall and winter arrive, bringing chilly temperatures that make printing a challenge. In need of a quick and affordable solution, I decided to create an enclosure using 1/2" insulation foamboard. Although it's not visually appealing and far from durable, the foamboard is inexpensive - just $8 per 4'x8' sheet - and can be assembled quickly with these clips. This makeshift enclosure will serve me until a more permanent solution is found. Designed to accommodate easy removal of the front piece, this enclosure features foam that slides up and down in clips. I plan to cut a hole in the front panel and attach plexiglass as a window on the outside. Additional features, such as LED mounting clips and an endoscope camera clip, will be added later. The DO_NOT_PRINT file is intended for 3D rendering purposes only; don't print it. You'll need to print two bottom connectors and one each of the four top connectors. For edge connectors, print as many as necessary to create a sturdy enclosure. I've printed the connectors, which fit perfectly on 1/2" Perma "R" Foamboard. To secure them in place, use E6000 or Duco Cement. I'll update this project if any issues arise during assembly.
