Support Arm for Prusa I3/Anet A8 Tops

thingiverse

I built these top supports to reinforce the attachment of my printer's top to its enclosure, making the frame even sturdier. My printer is a Prusa I3 replica and closely resembles an Anet A8 in appearance. As I continue working on the supports, I will post more pictures and details. Currently, I have created two different arm sizes: 65mm and 55mm in length (measured from the enclosure to the side where it mounts). The gap designed for printer attachment is 7.7mm wide; since my acrylic sheets are 7.5mm thick, I've left some extra space for padding (I plan to use tape). I'm currently printing the model and will update with pictures soon. Hopefully, this design will work well enough to warrant some modifications. Since modifying the arms for every unique size is impractical, it's simple to extend or shorten them as needed. Feel free to make adjustments and remix my idea.
