Enclosure active heated chamber system incandescent lamp with thermostat switch to keep chamber temperature at 60CThis system keeps my enclosure temperature at 48C-58C. Heats up my DIY enclosure for CR-10V3 150W incandescent light bulb heats up the enclosure, and KSD301 thermostat switch OFF around 58C and turns ON around 48C. Keep the enclosure temperature warm enough to print ABS. I bet this is the cheapest way to heat up. And also lit up inside the enclosure SUPER bright.You need to print BOTH parts with ABS, not PETG.

But then my enclosure temperature went up to 70C and it still didn't turn off. I thought this is too hot to print so I replaced it with “50C” one.  I think you can use 100W light bulb for smaller enclosure.
