YALTE - Yet another Lack table enclosure

thingiverse

It seems like you're documenting your DIY project to build a custom enclosure for a printer, specifically an IKEA Lack table. You've made significant progress, including printing and assembling various components such as side panels, brackets for the bottom shelf, and hinges for the doors. Here's a summary of what I understand from your post: 1. **Design and Measurements**: The enclosure measures 40 x 44.5 cm (h x w) and is designed to fit snugly into the space where you plan to place it. 2. **Materials Used**: - Three sides are made of 16mm MDF for stiffness. - Front doors are made of 4mm MDF to maintain stability without excessive weight, which could lead to sagging. 3. **Printing and Preparation**: You've printed various components including a bracket design from Thingiverse for attaching the side panels. These brackets were successfully printed and used in your project. 4. **Hinges**: You found hinges on Thingiverse designed by Gnatty Cole that fit perfectly into your needs, offering easy access to the printer with the door able to open more than 90 degrees and removable without disassembly. 5. **Power Supply**: You ordered grounded power sockets for each shelf to ensure safe and efficient power distribution within your enclosure. 6. **Current Status**: You've primed the panels twice on each side and are in the process of applying a topcoat, aiming to complete this step by tomorrow. Additionally, you're printing hinges for the lowest shelf's front door and have designed a bracket for holding a power strip that arrived recently. This project showcases your creativity and resourcefulness in repurposing IKEA furniture and customizing it to suit your needs. It also highlights the utility of 3D printing in creating precise parts for DIY projects.
