I have a very curious cat, and this enclosure keeps his paws and nose safe. As a side benefit, the enclosure helps the printer maintain a more stable ambient temperature, and keeps dust off the printer.

This design is a remix of DrewPetitclerc's terrific 3D printer enclosure. There are a few notable changes:
* Designed for thinner 0.093" acrylic sheets. (Note: Drew's original design used 0.25" thick sheets.) This makes the design lighter and less expensive. I purchased 18" x 24" x 0.093" OPTIX clear acrylic glass sheets from my local Home Depot, which sells them for $10.48/sheet.
* Glue-together frame. No bolts or drilling required! I used Loctite 5 min Plastic Epoxy, which is plenty strong, and advertises that it is designed to be used on ABS and other hard plastics.
* Edge brackets. These brackets keep the frame rigid, even with the thinner acrylic sheets.
* 2mm hinge pins. I used K&S 2mm aluminum tubes for the pins, available from many hobby stores or your favorite on
