3D-Printer IKEA Enclosure

thingiverse

This is an enclosure that I created using two IKEA LACK tables, some Velcro, and hot glue. I got the idea from this instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/3d-Printer-Enclosure-from-Upcycled-Furniture/. I designed it with extra space for the printer in mind, unlike the one shown on the instructable. Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: .125-.25 Infill: 100 I included a picture of the assembly in SOLIDWORKS to show how it is put together. Velcro is used at the top for adjustable corners when the acrylic is installed. Any screws added are only for extra support. I rushed the project, so I used hot glue, but gorilla glue would be better suited for the filament holder on top. For the power supply, I had to remove a leg screw and wedge it between the table and leg. If you have a different printer, you'll need to adjust the power supply mounting accordingly, as overheating inside the enclosure is a concern. The case was designed specifically for a raspberry pi 3 with a 5-inch touch screen by 52pi. To complete this project, you'll only need to purchase a raspberry pi, two LACK tables, acrylic siding (optional), and a 5-inch screen.
