**UPDATE 12-7-13 changed connector D to offer better gap fill at hinge. Added single files and a complete door set file. I have printed all but the handles and catch. It works out great so far. only minor changes. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions.** This is a set of clips I made up to make a 1" foam enclosure for my printer. I was having problems printing ABS and need to raise the ambient temp. After a quickly cobbeled together box worked I started designing a better system. These clips could be used to make any size box. I grouped the parts together for for how I used them. I have not tested the hinge set yet. I plan to have a piar of 1/4in plexiglass doors on the fron. thats what the hinges are for. I may need to add some holes to the clips to secure them to the foam better. Let me know your thoughts. I would love to see pics if anyone makes a foam box for their printer. added a picture of the box with top and doors. going to make a set of handles and a stop for the doors as well. I will add them when I am done. ** added handle set and updated render image Instructions I printed in ABS with 20% infill. PLA should be fine as well. I used 1inch blue foam insulation from my local Lowes. This should work well with anything in a 1inch foam. Just make sure you cut it big enough for full travel on your printer.
