Clear top Robo R1 & R1+ partial enclosure

thingiverse

I replaced my old enclosure design with this one that is easier to make. This one requires only printing 4 side pieces and seam re-enforcements along with magnetic mounts. outer side braces are optional. You can now use any thickness clear acrylic sheet or plexi glass. But I recommend 2mm thickness or close to it that you can get at Lowe's Home Improvement. Magnets are round 12mmX6mm you can purchase on Amazon or E-bay Print Settings Printer Brand: Robo 3D Printer: R1 ABS + PLA Model Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: medium Infill: 15% Notes: Use PLA or any other filament that does not warp easily. Post-Printing Parts to purchase and cut and assembly Purchase 16 12X6 mm round rare earth Magnets, from Ebay or Amazon. Purchase two 24"X18" sheets of clear acrylic in your desired thickness.(one sheet per enclosure) Purchase a clear wall corner protector available at Lowes for $2.97 for a 48" long piece Size to cut acrlyc: Front 10 15/16" X 9 3/16" Top. 10 13/16" X 6 9/16" You will need two of each of these for the printer Assemble 2 sets of sides using the corresponding side re-enforcements using your preferred gluing method. First install the top clear acrylic sheet to both sides and let the glue cure. Glue the magnets into the magnet holders and let cure. you should have a total of 8 magnet holders. Glue the magnet Holders to the sides on the enclosure one near the top and one on the sloped part of the sides that will sit against the printer. see pictures if you have questions on location. Hold the enclosure up to the printer and place a magnet inside the printer in each of the four locations that are on the enclosure. the magnets hould now hold the enclosure in place. One at a time remove each magnet and put glue on the side that goes against the inside of the printer then replace it where it was removed. Do this for each magnet. after the glue cures remove the enclosure and glue the front acrylic piece to the enclosure and let cure. Cut the clear corner protector to a length of 10" and use it to connect the top and front together. If desired add the outer side braces. This completes the assembly.
