Brackets for Acrylic Box Enclosure

thingiverse

These are brackets that I used to assemble an acrylic box enclosure for my printer. They are designed to work with 1/8" * acrylic, which can be purchased at any hardware store. If you use all of the screw holes (except the bottom 8!), you should use 72 M3x12mm screws, 72 lock nuts, and 144 washers. I don't know that the washers are strictly necessary, but they can be purchased on Ebay in hundred packs for a dollar or two. 1/8" acrylic is actually ~0.10 inches in thickness. Print Settings Printer: Maker's Tool Works MiniMax Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.6mm, but you could use 0.4mm and some patience Infill: Shouldn't matter much Notes: Use the jig to drill the center holes by placing the jig over a piece of acrylic, drilling, then placing an M3 screw in each hole to keep it in place while you drill the adjacent acrylic panel. How I Designed This Design process was very iterative, meaning I tried about a dozen very similar things and kept not liking them.
