Yet Another Ikea Lack Enclosure (Wanhao Duplicator Plus)

Looking for an enclosure to house a Wanhao Duplicator Plus, I stumbled upon numerous designs utilizing the Ikea Lack table. Disliking asymmetrical designs that place all the weight at the feet, I decided that designing an enclosure with matching pieces at the top and bottom of the legs would provide a way to hold plexiglass sides. My design goals include: * A symmetric design * Built-in side holders * Mounting on top of an existing computer desk * Integrated hinges, door stops, and mounting points I created several different designs and made modifications as I went along. Thanks to many great designs, I didn't have to start from scratch. Specifically, I used or incorporated the following objects: * Lack Filament Grommet (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1821844) * Quick Hinge (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:47591) * Door Handle (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:36465) For the most part, everything worked smoothly on the first try. My pictures show my initial version, but the STL files here address a few issues I encountered during assembly. The two main changes are: 1) added mounting points to the inside of the corner brackets for secure attachment to the table top and base; 2) added stops to the hinge bottoms to hold the door in place without screws; 3) enlarged the hinge holds on the hinge parts to fit the printed hinge pins. The pin on my original hinges proved too brittle and broke off. I used a drill bit to drill out the broken part, cleaned up the hole on the other part, then screwed simple machine screws into each, and it works perfectly.
