Slack Lack - The Lack Enclosure with Sliding Pocket Doors

The video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctuxhp6h6kc The Slack Lack was greatly influenced by the Original Prusa Enclosure, which is available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2864118. All of the design and CAD for this enclosure were created by me. I wanted an enclosure that could print ABS but also allowed me to leave the front open when printing PLA. I didn't want to have to leave the doors wide open, so I designed pocket doors. The enclosure is tall enough to hold an Ender 3 and a 30mm paving stone, which helps reduce vibrations. The total usable height of the enclosure is 50cm. The doors hinge shut and latch via magnets. There are also support magnets in the hinge pieces that prevent it from sliding while opening and closing the doors normally. The doors will slide back on tracks into the enclosure out of the way. Finally, the doors can be removed very easily by partially opening the door and sliding it off the magnets. ---Purchase Parts Needed--- - Magnets 20x6x1.5mm Qty 12 (These were easier for me to find than the magnets sourced by the Prusa group) - Screws 6x50mm Qty 8 - Screws 5x20mm Qty 14 (These were also easier to source, you'll need 2 more if you use my remote PSU bracket) - Plexiglass 3x450x492mm Qty 3 - Plexiglass 3x214x492mm Qty 2 ---Printing--- - Expect to use nearly a full roll of filament! - I printed everything in PETG, 20% infill, 3 walls. - I've made sure that all the parts were uploaded in their proper orientation for printing. - SUPPORTS: Parts needing supports are Front_Spacer_TL.stl and Front_Spacer_TR.stl - Parts these parts 2x: Track.stl, TrackTop.stl, and Spacer_TB.stl - Print Catch.stl 3x - IMPORTANT: The 4 pairs of hinge and barrel pieces that mate should have some friction and should not be loose. This friction is what keeps the hinge sections aligned when they are slid back in the enclosure. ---Assembly--- - Assembly is straight forward, you can follow the same tutorial from the Prusa Enclosure. - I used plain Elmer's style white glue to glue the upper and lower tracks to the plexiglass. - Use super glue for the magnets. - Use HoldFinder.stl to predrill your holes for the Catch's. ---Additional Notes--- My Ender3 remote PSU mount is available here (should work for original and Pro version, Pro version hasn't been verified): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3436078 LED strip mount that I used (2x per strip, 6 total) can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2912036.
