Magnetic Enclosure Door Catch

prusaprinters

<p>These are magnetic door catches for my printer enclosure. The door for my enclosure is cut wider than the opening to account for the mistakes that I could've made when building the box. Because of this, I had to make custom catches that allowed the corners of the door to close without using models that encompassed the corners of the panel. These should work for ½" (12mm) plywood. They attach to the enclosure box using two 4 x ¾" wood screws per door catch.&nbsp;</p><p>I made them using 10mm x 2mm round magnets that I had laying around from a previous project. They should be press-fit, but my was hit or miss on whether they would stay in the latches so YMMV. CA glue keeps them in place nicely just in case.</p><p>To attach the latches to the acrylic, the best way I found was to put CA glue on the magnet and let it attach itself in place to the door catch. Using a CA activator made this process instant.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hopefully they can help someone else out with a similar situation.&nbsp;</p><p>Happy printing!</p>
