CR-10 Enclosure clips for Home Depot plexiglass

thingiverse

Clips to hold plexiglass in place as part of my CR-10 3D printer enclosure. These clips are designed to work with 0.093 inch thick plexiglass sold at Home Depot. (https://www.homedepot.com/p/OPTIX-20-in-x-32-in-x-093-in-Acrylic-Sheet-MC-17/202038049) There are two different clips. one bottom clip that is flat (for bottom) so that the plexiglass can rest on flat. The other clip is rotatable (for side and top) so that you can easily remove the plexiglass by rotating the clips out of the way. The enclosure frame is built using solid oak hardwood. (It's actually 1 1/4 inch red oak stair baluster from Home Depot. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Stair-Parts-41-in-x-1-1-4-in-Unfinished-Red-Oak-Square-Baluster-5060R-041-HD00L/202088535) The finish is two coats of Minwax satin Polyurethane. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Minwax-1-qt-Clear-Satin-Fast-Drying-Polyurethane-Interior-Wood-Protective-Finish-63010/100201939 I design the frame so that I can lift the entire frame away from the bottom. I got the idea from this build https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2012384. The hinges are lift-off hinges so that I can easily remove the entire door by lifting the plexiglass.

The door stop with magnet holder is here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2186895. The most tricky part of building this enclosure is cutting the plexiglass as it's relatively thin at 0.093 and flexes when cutting. It's very easy to chip the last few centimeters even using a special plexiglass jigsaw blade. I ended up having to build a special jig (basically sandwich the plexiglass between two thin pieces of plywood) to cut the plexiglass.
