Lack Glass Hinge Brackets

thingiverse

I wanted to create a pair of upper Lack table enclosure brackets that would allow the use of cut glass without having to drill it.The brackets are designed to be screwed on with #6 wood screws and glued to a plain sheet of glass. The glass can then can be swung upward allowing removal in this position. The hinges are designed so as to allow the glass to be slid out of the brackets for complete removal. The idea is if you just need to reach inside you can raise the sides up and if you're doing more extensive work, raise the glass to 90 degrees and then draw it forward to remove it entirely. Three formats of glass mount. 2 mil and 3 mil (3 mil file named "3.2mm".) and one sided epoxy on for minimal clearance. Sliced in Cura PLA Medium, 1.2mm top/bottom/wall, 10% fill on glass piece, 30% fill on cabinet piece, no supports. Note: Lightly sand or file off any printing anomalies/deformations if they occur particularly at edges where the parts interconnect. When deformations are removed these pieces operate together smoothly and in close tolerance. I remained tight on tolerances since I wanted to limit the glass rattling while the printer was operating so this extra step may be necessary depending on your print quality.
