Topic: [Request] Solidoodle 3 dimensions for enclosure

While I'm waiting for my Solidoodle 3 to be delivered I'd like to get the perspex cut for its enclosure. Could some please post the dimensions for the top, sides, and front? I know the "footprint" is available on the Solidoodle website, but I would like to use the spots for the hinges on the front and top and try to have the perspex sit instead the rivet heads/bolts on the side to minimize the gap between the frame and perspex.
I was also thinking about attaching this seal (http://www.raven.com.au/domino/raven/RP … 2B00273807) to the perspex to retain the heat into the enclosure, then hopefully  use magnets to hold the perspex to the frame; any thoughts?

Re: [Request] Solidoodle 3 dimensions for enclosure

12" x 12" is about perfect for the front if you use hinges and for the sides 12" x 12" is large enough that you can use magnets to hold them on.  This is how my enclosure is and it works fine.  You will need something to hold the sides up as the magnets will only hold it to the frame but won't keep it from sliding down.  http://i.imgur.com/JWbq1pV.jpg
