Magnetic LACK Enclosure Wall Panels

thingiverse

Hello again! I recently got into 3D printing and it didn't take long before I wanted to print/make an enclosure for the Prusa MK3s. I came across this LACK enclosure https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2864118# and decided to give it a try. I loved the concept, design, and implementation but available access to the printer was limited to the front doors. I like to upgrade and tinker with my stuff and pulling the printer out of the enclosure to work on it became frustrating. Plus, it was tough to clean the enclosure without removing the top. The other big benefit of removable panels is for controlling ambient temperature, so I remove the panels and add a fan to keep the air as cool as possible during TPU printing. I also love magnets. Who doesn't love magnets? So, I thought it would be cool if the acrylic side panels were removable and held in place by magnets! Thanks to the OP for providing the design files (here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2864118#) so I could easily remix to incorporate 6x3mm magnets into the design. The result is that all three "walls" can be removed quickly and easily. Also, I widened the corner with the cable passthrough since my wire harness was a little pinched in the original design. At first, I was worried that these little magnets wouldn't be strong enough but they have turned out to be plenty strong.

Only piece that might need support to print is the bottom corner plate for the passthrough.
