Ultimaker Original side enclosure mount

youmagine

As I mounted my new fan duct made of aluminum sheet metal onto my Ultimaker, I discovered the opportunity to close the sides of it with just adding two sheets of acrylic. BUT: How to mount...?? Screw?? No... Glue? No... Magnets? YEEEAHAAA So I designed these simple brackets to glue into the edges of the plywood frame. Each of them holds a small 3mm diameter, 1mm high neodym magnet in place while another counter magnet is glued onto the acrylic window. HowTo:- Purchase small 3mm diameter, 1mm high neodym magnets at eBay. While waiting for them to arrive... - Cut two sheets of acrylic to fit into the frame- Print two sets of the mounting brackets - Push the magnets (as they arrived) into the hole in the print (a bit tight, so push hard...) - Place the counter magnet in its position on top of the other, it should be well aligned with the surface of the bracket - Glue the brackets into each corner of the frame - Apply a small amount of cyan acrylate to each magnet - Put the windows in place and wait until the CA is hard- Enjoy a closed UMO
