Yet Another Lack Table Enclosure

thingiverse

Yet Another Lack Table Enclosure. Inspired by many great designs out there, I maximized this design to give me as much height as possible on my printer. It includes mounting points for acrylic sides, which measure ~445mm wide x 520mm tall. I'm currently awaiting delivery of some twinwall 4mm polycarbonate for the back and sides, along with regular acrylic for the front. The twin wall is fairly cheap and should provide excellent insulation, hopefully bouncing light around inside a bit too. For anyone in the UK, I used plasticsheets.com as a fairly cheap supplier. Many companies seem to charge a lot for delivery, which bumps up the price a lot. I'm slightly disappointed that the twinwall came with blue canvas tape binding the open edges, but it's not hugely noticeable when fitted. To cover it up, I may get some white tape to match the table legs. The 4mm works well for the sides, but going with 6mm would be better if you have the choice. The 4mm acrylic is also a little too thin, but still works nicely. The mounting brackets are designed so 6mm (I'm using 4mm) sides fit flush with the edge of the table. The leg "stilts" have a screw mounting hole in the central shaft to prevent them from falling off when lifted. Door Hinges - Pick either left or right hand mounting. Personally, I printed 2 left-hand countersunk hinges to screw to the table legs and 2 left-hand pan head hinges along with the back plate to bolt to an acrylic front panel. The door handle is designed to print on its side with a back plate that minimizes stresses on the acrylic door. The original stilt raises the table by 120mm (print is 170mm tall). I have also uploaded a shorter 80mm stilt as well as a taller 140mm stilt in case your needs vary. You will need to subtract 40mm or add 20mm when sizing the side panels and doors. 21/01/2017 - Added a locating spigot that can be screwed to the base Lack table to help keep all the legs in line. Before assembly, use one of the Stilts to measure the correct location of the spigot. Drill a pilot hole and use a shot countersunk self-tapping wood screw to attach.
