Updated the lack enclosure mounts to allow for a tighter tolerance for the plexiglass and allowing quick access with removable panels. Mount arms connect with magnets and can either be glued or remain as support. Swing arms again stayed closed with magnets (8x3) and the large head screw allows for proper tightening. Thread pitch for bolt is M10 1.5, in prints some thread right in others needed be cleaned with a tap, I also cut the bolt down in slicer to 7mm. Please note the orientation of the mount block when installing as the bolt head extends past the arm and will need clearance, possible cut the base to 1.2mm-2mm as it extends past 1mm **or you can invert the swing block.

I used the corner opening and spacers which allows for the MMU**, all panels are 3mm:

445mm x 480mm for side panels

495mm x 480mm for swing doors 

If you decide not to have the opening in the corner order 3 of 445mm x 480mm and split in half for the opening doors.

**If you decide not to use spacers for MMU panels size (height) would be reduced 45mm from 480mm to 435mm

Since I am updating my current enclosure some edge plexiglass will need to be sanded. I suggest putting the panels in place before screwing the bottom into the legs.

You can buy the screws individually at Home Depot

MMU

Included are spacers which should allow for proper clearance of the MMU3 (only by estimates and reviewing plexiglass dimensions sizes given in other models) 20mm & 25mm. You can use the supplied hardware for the table to mount the leg with the spacer and corner block keeping them or either side of the bolt. For the bottom I used a GRK 5/16" x 5 1/8" bolt and another leg mount from previous designs.
