Ikea Lack Enclosure Widebody Kit

The mid-sized IKEA LACK table is just a little too narrow to fit a pair of Mk3 or Mk4 printers on it, side by side.  But the largest of the Lack tables is just too big to be used in most spaces.  So, after doing some measurements, I found that the mid-size table really only needed another inch and a half to get both an Mk3 and an Mk4 installed.  So, I whipped up a widebody kit for the enclosure.  These are meant to be paired with my remixed version of Lord Skippy's invisible hinge (https://www.printables.com/model/187316-invisible-hinge-for-ikea-lack-table). My remix can be found here (https://www.printables.com/model/600254-invisible-hinge-remix).  But if you were doing a different hinge for your enclosure, all you would have to change is the track for the side panel.

To give the enclosure a little more width, and for some style points, I made a set of sides for the Top, Middle and Bottom.  This added a inch of width to each side of the width of enclosure. 

This provide a little bit of breathing room between printers, without sacrificing structural rigidity.  

Print these heavy, since even though they overlap the edge of the actual tabletop, they will be structural components, and between the printers, filament, pavers, and anything that goes on top of the table, they will have a pretty good amount of weight on them; so, print accordingly.  On the corners (the front and the back of the enclosure, respectively), you will want to have 100% infill, as you will be drilling and running a self tapping screw into them during assembly.

The sides of the middle shelf include some built in ventilation between the upper and lower chambers.  This allows for Airflow between upper and lower without having to cut any new holes in the tabletop.

Assemble using some thin double faced tape to hold the interlocking pieces on the side edges of the table top.  Pre-drill the holes to make assembly easier.  Drive in button head or domed self-tapping wood screws into each of the recesses.  For the hinges, align the hinges to the corners of the enclosure, use a punch or a nail to mark the location of each of the holes between the hinge and the table/widebody kit.  Remove the hinge and pre-drill the holes you just marked.  The assemble using self tapping taper head wood screws.

These were printed in Prusament Signal White PETG with the following settings:

Layers: .20

Infill: 30% 3D Honeycomb, with modifiers on the corners and at the screw holes for 100% concentric Infill for added material and strength where drilling will occur.

Perimeters: 4-6

Supports:  Painted on supports for the interlocking portions, only.
