Description
This enclosure was constructed using the parts from an existing enclosure that needed to be rebuilt for the Student Projects and Research Committee at Auburn University. By using 3D printed brackets, the new enclosure has much more seamless edges and is significantly more sturdy. I also designed some hinges, magnetic latches, and a small handle for a door. The frame is constructed using 3030 T-Slotted Aluminum (https://8020.net/30-3030.html). The hardware used for interfacing with the 3030 is No.1/4-20 button head screws with corresponding 8020 nuts. The hinges and latches use No 1/4-20 bolts. I included the Solidworks assembly of our particular enclosure. The 3D printed brackets allow you to construct the frame to be whatever size you desire. Our enclosure was designed to fit a Lulzbot Taz 3 with approximate dimensions of 31.5" W x 25" L x 23" H.
