Velleman Vertex K8400 Front Hatch

cults3d

This is a front hatch for Velleman Vertex K8400 printer. Not sure if it adds any value in terms of noise reduction, or dust protection, but I had a piece of 4mm acrylic and, after discovering Tomas Kruger's hatch published here, I decided to use it and make my own hatch. Unlike Tomas' design, mine does not require drilling additional holes in printer's front panel, i.e. you can remove it at any time without a trace. Another difference is - I use 2 pairs of magnets instead of a single pair, which should hold the hatch in closed position better. List of materials: 274mm x 250mm x 4mm sheet of acrylic (preferably transparent) Six M5x12mm machine screws Four self-locking M5 nuts Four cylindrical magnets with 8mm diameter and 2mm height
