3D Printer Enclosure

French Door Hinges for a 3D printer box/enclosure. The box was made from 6mm acrylic/perspex and weldbonded together. SciGrip Weld On #3 Cement glue was used. This has the texture of runny water. It is highly volatile and irritating to skin/lungs. Gloves and goggles should be worn. A small 3mL sized plastic pipette was used as the applicator. The perspex was cut on a table saw with a fine tooth blade. The sides were held in place with masking tape and then a bead of cement was carefully squirted on the join. A bond forms within 60 seconds.

Print 2 of each part (4 x 2). Use a set of TWO 2.85mm standard 65mm nails to put the hinge parts together. The first nail that goes through will need the head cut off with a grinder. The top of the nails should face up so that they can never fall out. I.e. the hinge parts have a orientation (left or right side).

Print with high infill %. e.g. > 75%. The test print was around 70% tough PLA and worked fine.

The threads for the bolts are m3.
