Corner or bracket for printer enclosures made with PVC tubes

thingiverse

This corner will fit on 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC conduit from Home Depot or any other hardware store. To get a full enclosure, print 8 of them. To do the enclosure faces, I decided to go for 5 panels made of "Reflectix small project rolls" panels (or multi layer reflective insulation) from Home Depot (24in x 10ft) which is enough for a CR10s enclosure. To hold the insulation on the frame, I used velcro in the corners and printed clips in between (see my other related Things to find those clips). The front panel is fixed with velcro only so that I can remove it easily. What is missing is an inside light, and you are good to go. The holes in the 2 diagonal bracings are there to link two diagonally opposed corners with a wire to increase structure rigidity if needed. The through holes within the 3 branches are to fix the PVC tube within the bracket if needed (use a drill to drill the tube and use a wire or something to go through the bracket and PVC tube). This is probably the cheapest and easiest-to-make enclosure. 3x of PVC tube cost 6$, one roll of reflective insulation 10$, 5ft of velcro 7$ and some wire for 3$ make a total of 26$ without filament.
