I remixed the enclosure parts ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3794334 ) so it will work with 1/8 plastic sheets. I was being cheap and did not want to buy the thicker plastic. Plus, it seems to hold up very well for a small to mid-size 3D printer. You need to use the 3D printed middle braces because the thin 1/8 plastic is flexible and will leave gaps in the middle. I used PETG plastic sheets and NOT Lexan or Plexiglass, because PETG will NOT crack. I was kind of rough with my building and my most of my measurements was being eyeballed so the PETG plastic is a bit more forgiving to me. :)
If you are curious about the size of the door, all I did was measured 3 inches from each side and grabbed some random round object off my work bench to use as a guide for the corners. Make sure you use something big enough where the jig saw can make the turn in one cut.
If you are
Purchased Material:
(5) 24" x 24" 1/8 thick plastic sheet
(96) M4 x 10mm screws (this includes the 8 screws on the bottom that you might NOT need)
(97) M4 Nut (this includes the 8 nuts on the bottom that you might NOT need)
(7) M4 x 16mm screw
(1) M4 x 25mm (22m long would be ideal but that’s all I have)
(4) M4 lock nuts (a standard nut would be fine too)
Printed Parts:
(8) Corner (Corner.stl)
(3) Hinge Set (Hinge – Door.stl, Hinge.stl)
(1) Latch Set(Latch.stl, Latch – Door.stl, Lever.stl)
(8) Mid Brace 4 on the sides and 4 on the top(Middle.stl)
Update (Jan 02 2020)
I Just noticed I forgot to include the Mid Brace STL file.. sorry!
I finially put a top on the enclosure and if you use the Mid Braces (Middle.stl) on the the top, it will really stiffen everything up. Because of the 1/8 thin plastic I used, I thought I need to support the top with some wood or aluminum extrusions if I plan put the filament spool holder on it. So far it seems to hold up the extra weight with out any additional support.
It is up to use what spool holder you want to use but here is a link to what I printed.

This is the PTFE PC4-M6 Quick Fitting connectors I used for the top of the enclosure:

UPDATE (DEC 11, 2021) - SV03 Conversion
After relocated the SV01 printer I cannot use the enclosure because it's too tall and I would need a stool to load the filament. I wanted to repurpose the enclosure for the SV03 Printer but the 24"x24" panels are too small. This is what I came up with... Take a look at the image gallery of the enclosure with the wooden edges. I used 4 inch wide pine but I think 6 inch would have been a better choice because it is a tad too short in the Y axis. I was able to get away with it because I switched to magnetic bed so the clips did not take up as much space.
UPDATE (Feb 25, 2022) I added a 4mm version of the door hinges and latch.
UPDATE (Jan 25, 2023) I added a 1/4" version of the door hinges and latch.
