Description

I work in a factory where things can get pretty dusty. I decided to make a cover that keep the dust out of the printer. It's laser cut from .25" acrylic and held together with 8-32 nuts and bolts. Its made from the same shape of the printer so it nests right on top.

Materials and methods

Couple questions. What length are the 8-32 blots?

Do you have a drawing with things dimensioned out? The DXF file format does not store scaling information, so it has to be translated to the proper dimensions. Does 1 DXF unit = 1 inch? That makes the largest piece 13.7235"x13.28" (seems large)

Thanks!

Printed on:: ultimaker 2
Result:: Good. It was a bit of a tight fit.
Feedback:: If I had to do it again, I would taper the taps slightly and put a little more "meat" between the nuts and the screws. Mine cracked a little when I was tightening things up.
