Enclosure for the Rostock Max V2 3D-Printer

thingiverse

This documentation is designed to build a DIY enclosure specifically for the Rostock Max V2 3D printer model, which is part of the RepRap family sold by SeeMeCNC and various resellers. The project employs PLA and ABS prints generated directly by the printer, laser-cut acrylic sheets, and off-the-shelf metric components. For comprehensive documentation and assembly instructions, visit https://docubricks.com/viewer.jsp?id=6526269302458755072 (https://docubricks.com/search.jsp). Enclosures are typically built from scratch due to a USA patent that hinders most providers from selling them as standard accessories. Enclosures significantly enhance the quality of ABS prints by increasing print environment temperatures and preventing rapid temperature fluctuations, such as drafts. ABS prints particularly benefit from a lower temperature difference between the heated bed and the environment because they shrink more than PLA when cooling down, leading to warping and splitting of prints.
