This ingenious creation is a laser cut 3mm Acrylic front door designed specifically for the Makerbot Replicator. Utilizing sturdy Hinges (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:757329), it attaches securely to the Case without any need for new holes or modifications. Hinges boast a simple removable 3mm hinge pin and easily install using existing case holes. They fasten seamlessly to the Acrylic panel with M3 screws and complimentary printable stress relieving washers (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:755320). A clever design relies on gravity to hold it closed, allowing for effortless operation. For added convenience, a latch can be integrated by modifying this existing latch design (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:755496). Assembling the front door is a straightforward process: First, laser cut 3mm acrylic to precise specifications. Next, add robust 3d printed hinges (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:757329), then securely attach with M3 screws. Supply additional hardware including 6 - 10mm M3 screws, nuts, and stress relieving washers ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:755320). Finish by inserting the 3mm filament hinges for a smooth installation experience. With this innovative front door, you can enjoy superior prints and minimized warping in your Replicator Enclosure.
