Summary

A remix of thing:1364236 , Simple Customizable Hinge by tommckearney and thing:10541 , Pin Connectors V2 by tbuser for my Ultimaker 3 Extended.

Hinges: I made them smaller and deleted the holes so I could use double sided tape. I've played around with stretching, so they might need a little bit of smoothing to go flawlessly.

Latch: the part of the latch that holds the door is 11m high. For my 4mm door, that left me with about 2mm free, which I filled with 4 pieces of foamy tape so it's squishy and doesn't scratch the plexiglass.

I used a 40 x 28 cm size, 4mm thick, plexiglass

UPDATE: I used a cheaper double sided tape, and with time, I'm guessing from the heat generated by the printer, it started to slide, thus the door ending up touching the rotary wheel of the printer. So use some super glue if you want, or high quality double sided tape.
