Very nice indeed, a shame you are in the US.
What is the thickness of sheet which Zortrax is made of? Because it is an option to use hinges for glass and you dont have to drill holes for screws.
That is what I had in mind: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bathroom-Stainless-Steel-9mm-Thick-Glass-Door-Hinge-Clamp-/161095413530?pt=AU_Building_Materials&hash=item258208ef1a
Nice Kit Gadgets, looks like a great option.
I’m not thinking along any of those lines though. Personally I want to avoid drilling or sticking anything to the enclosure, therefore I am designing a quarter turn latch that attaches only to the plexi-glass.

I uesd .089 or 2.26 mm that is a good way to do it
Lumax I am shore I can ship them to you , I don’t know if it is worth it or not but we can look into
Geisterfahrer yes I can under stand not wanting to drill hole in your printer I can make the front work like the sides no mark in your printer
Looks good Clark! Are you planning on making a top cover too or you think the sides are enough?

Yes I am making a top cover, I had it made but it did not work right so I am redoing it .
I have my top cover made I steal need to redo the door it not quite right yet but it is up and working
Sorry, I still like mine better from both a visual standpoint and no drilling into the printer. Panels pop right on and off with magnets. Took about an hour and a half to make.

Yes your doors are very nice and you did a good job on them , but do you have a top cover yet?
No, I’m not going to do a top cover. The build area gets up to 35-40C and stays there, the sides block outside drafts pretty well, and fumes/odor are not a problem for me.

I have you kit and its great, but I have not put the front on because I dont want to drill into my Zortrax for the hinges. I would suggest doing away with the hinges and just make the front the same as the sides, removable by just turning the two latches. As far as I can see having the front with hinges serves no real purpose as I at least access the printer from the two sides to unplug the cables and lift out the platform.
Also, as per Julia, I am not really looking for a top cover as the inside without it stays at a constant temperature.

Hey c’mon Julia, Flame polish those edges!

Hah! I’m definitely too lazy to sand them, but I suppose I could give it a go with some heat…
I have gadgetstogo enclosure panels, but now with the front panel removable easily with two latches like the sides, so no making holes for hinges. It looks great and has seals around the edges so it fits nicely. This will tie me over until the official Zortrax enclosure is available.

I admit that I’m not completely impartial, but I’m still liking mine better than anything else I’ve seen.
Of course you made it

Like I said, I’m hardly impartial in the matter
