CTC Bizer Dual (and others) doors and lid

Description

This Project Started With The Hinges I Found On This Platform. From There It Progressed In Completely Closing My Ctc With Doors And A Lid/Top-Cover. I Planned On Adding Hinges To The Lid As Well, But Decided To Keep It Separated From The Printer So I Didn'T Need To Drill More Holes Close To The Y-Axis Rod And Because The Lid, When Opened, Would Need To Go Further To The Back Than The Position Of My Printer Allows. Now I Just Take It Off And Put It Aside, When Necessary. I Didn'T Change The Hinges, But Did Redraw Them In Freecad. New Stl Files Are Attached. The Dxf Files Are The Cutting Template For The Doors And Top-Cover Plates. The Front Doors Are A Bit Larger Than The Front Opening, The Side Doors Fit Into The Side Openings. I Used 3 Mm Acrylic Which I Cut By Hand Using A Special Knife. Laser Cutting Is Preferred.... Because Of The Thickness Of The Acrylic, I Added Spacers Between The Hinges And The Doors. 6 Mm For The Side Doors And, In The Beginning, 3 Mm For The Front Doors. I Later Changed Them For 2Mm Spacers For A Less Tight Fit. I Made Drill Templates For The Printer Case And For The Doors. They Can Be Mirrored By Physically Turning Them Around, So You Need Just One For Each Door/Side. On The Top-Cover I Used The Corner Parts As A Drill Template (Tape It Together First To Be Sure All Plates Are Positioned Right) I Screwed Everything Together Using M3 Nuts And M3 Allen Bolts (M3X8, M3X10, M3X12 & M3X16). The Knobs Allow Use Of Round Magnets (12 X 2 Mm). You Can Then Put Some Flat (Iron) Screw Is The Case That Allow The Magnets To Snap To The Case. For The Top-Cover/Lid I Used Brushes From The Local Hardware Store. These Brushes Are Used In (Deltafix) Mailbox Weather Strips. They'Re Easily Cut To Size And Slide In The Brackets. This Design Is A Result Of The Filament Holders I Decided To Use. It Allows The Filament, And The Extruder Cables, To Go Through And Still Keep The Entire Setup Closed.
