Qidi X-One panel brackets and handles

I used these parts to create an enclosure for my Qidi X-One. This allows me to print great with ABS. The brackets are glued to acrylic panels. You'll need to test fit each part using hot glue first. This allows you to verify placement before using CA glue (super glue) as hot glue will pull away from the pieces pretty easily. The top brackets should have a little play in them so you can left the panel slightly before pulling away the bottom edge. This is how I lock in my panels during printing. The remaining brackets were used to create the curved acrylic. Heat the acrylic with a heat gun and get it into the approximate shape. Then, use the brackets to lock in the shape. I printed all brackets in PETG for strength and durability.
