*Note* rear area with hinges only has weather stripping, no brackets.

While building the enclosure for my 3d printer (Fantastic design by JKsniper!!), I ran into some trouble finding a good bracket to hold the weather stripping the acrylic door rests on.

So I designed my own.

I found that trying to print vertically was problematic over a certain height, even with rafts and brim.

Thus I designed the bracket to be 40mm long. I printed 10 at a time and just slid them into the extrusion.

When you pull the model into your slicer, you will see that one end is solid, the other is open.

Make sure to print with the solid side in contact with your bed. This will give you great adhesion without the need for brims or rafts.

For the pieces on the end, I just scaled the bracket in the z plane to make the last one fit perfectly.

This is the weather stripping I used.. Standard 3/8 inch from Home Depot.
