Caisson Anet A8 / Anet A8 Enclosure

thingiverse

Update 2018/18/12: I installed a front door and side plexiglas panel on my project enclosure. I found an old tube light from my previous PC and installed it on the top side of the enclosure. Update 2018/07/12: The three sides made of MDF 3 mm thick were installed as shown in the fifth picture, back, top, and left, with my PC located on the right of the printer. I put a plexiglas panel on the right (sixth picture). I created the front door panel, which is drying today. I added insulating foam below the enclosure because I decided not to install a bottom panel for easy removal (pictures 7 & 8). Update 2018/02/12: This project is very budget-friendly; I designed it for my Anet A8 with just eight parts to print, requiring only wood (pine is inexpensive), MDF (3 mm thick), and possibly plexiglas if desired. For this ongoing version, I planed eight wooden battens (Pine) to 18 * 18 mm and cut the end bar to 45° degrees each side as shown in the fourth picture, with a length of 510 mm. Next, I planed four wooden battens to 18 * 18 mm and cut them to 420 mm for the vertical parts. Enjoy and feel free to share your ideas for upgrades.
