Acrylic Shield Holder

When you have a project on display and need to keep little fingers out, an acrylic shield is useful.  This project uses 3D printed brackets to mount the shield to a plywood base.

Parts:
Acrylic  I used 1/4 inch thick, 2 sheets 18 inches by 48 inches and 2 sheets 18 inches by 36 inches   estreetplastics.com
6/32 by 1 inch machine screws
3D printed brackets--design and print files here:

Building this in a "U" shape is critical for strength. The brackets hold everything together and secure the acrylic to the plywood base.
