I wanted to install a bugnet as in the pictures and still be able to open/close the window, so I built this little hatch that shuts close magnetically.
I installed it in spring and used all summer. Now that I know it works well I'm posting it in case it helps anyone else.
Printed with PETG.
While printing the parts, pause mid-print to add 10 magnets in total (8 mm diameter, 2 mm thickness). Be careful about the polarity.
Cut out a hole in the bugnet for the frame. Place one part on the outside the other on the inside, squeezing the net between each other. It's up to you to cut the hole in advance or after finishing the frame. I had to do it before because the bugnet was already installed on the window. Friction should keep the two parts in place but I added a bit of glue to keep them together just in case.
Same for the hatch. Cut some bugnet and squeeze between the "Hatch" and "Hatch Bugnet Squeezer". Again, friction should be enough but I used glue too.
Use m3 screws to attach the hatch to the frame, I used 4 of m3x20 screws.
