Seahorse Lid Enclosure Clips (Duplicator 6 | Maker Select Ultimate)

thingiverse

So far, I've been really enjoying my Monoprice Ultimate, and one of the coolest things about owning a 3D printer is printing parts that make the printer print better. To build the robots you see in videos online, for example. Anyway, somewhere - perhaps the awesome Duplicator 6 Facebook Group? - I stumbled upon a fantastic person who suggested using a Sterilite 16Qt container (Sterilite Model# 16441012) as an easy and affordable enclosure top. I ran out and bought it, and it works perfectly fine. Now to keep it in place... A few iterations later, here are simple printable clips that will hold the Sterilite 16Qt container securely in place - the design I chose reminded me of a seahorse, so I added some fun embellishments (for anyone who wants it, I also made a plain version). They're easy to put on and remove, but even with just two they'll keep it tight. Honestly, I only printed four because there are four slots, and that's just my style. For reference, the room temperature is 76F where my printer is kept. With the enclosure lid in place, the printer area can maintain a temp around 90F. (Once I completed my front door, it rose up to 104F!) Quick Video of how it snaps on: https://youtu.be/RmemN4pkfBg
