M3D Acrylic glass holders

thingiverse

I've carefully encased my m3d printer within a sturdy acrylic glass casing. I purchased the glass cut into precise rectangles measuring 150mm x 140mm, ordering them online for approximately 20€ - in retrospect, it would have been wise to order five, as one sustained damage during drilling. Making the cutouts square would also have been beneficial. To ensure accurate placement, I drilled four holes with a diameter of 4 mm each, and created a specialized fitting tool that enables precise marking of these holes. The glass casing features three support holders positioned on the bottom and one side, while another piece featuring a small spring is secured to the opposite side. Once assembled, the casing can be easily slid onto the exposed printer holes on either side, with the spring providing gentle pressure to keep it securely in place.
