If your printer doesn't have an acrylic cover, chances are you've thought about it, but you don't have access to a laser cutter, and any existing solutions involved modifying the printer itself.\nWell no more, the Practically Invisible Front Cover does not require any printer modifications. Buy any off-the-shelf acrylic sheet, and transform it into a front cover in half an hour. No laser cutter required.\nWhat is this Black Magic?\nThe Practically Invisible Front Cover will preserve the clean look of your printer, and asks nothing more than a few seconds of your time to lock in the front cover whenever it is removed. This is done by attaching 4 swivel locks to the acrylic sheet itself, it's clean, it's easy, it's awesome.\nWhat do I need to do, aside from printing the swivel locks (CH01)?\nUse a hot solder to burn 4 holes into the acrylic sheet, it will only take a minute. 4 pages of very educational instructions included.\nInspiration\nI am always inspired by the practical simplicity of IKEA furniture that uses plastic mounts to lock things in place, and I have a feeling one of those IKEA things uses swivel locks.\nPlease post your makes\nIt helps me to improve further when you share your makes, and it helps people with measurements for their printers.
