Heated Enclosure

prusaprinters

<p>This project consists of building a nice heated chamber. The project was developed at the University of Luxembourg as a bachelor thesis. Sometimes an enclosure is not enough to print more technical materials. The heating allows to print at a stable temperature and humidity in the enclosure. The heating element is controlled via an arduino board.<br/> This parts are needed:</p> <p> <table border="0"> <tr> <th>• Enclosure</th> </tr> </table> <table border="0"> <tr> <th>• PTC Heating Element</th> </tr> </table> <table border="0"> <tr> <th>• Arduino Board</th> </tr> </table> <table border="0"> <tr> <th>• 12V Power supply</th> </tr> </table> <table border="0"> <tr> <th>• 12V Power supply</th> </tr> </table> <table border="0"> <tr> <th>• 12V PWM cooling fan's t</th> </tr> </table> <table border="0"> <tr> <th>• Mosfet</th> </tr> </table> <table border="0"> <tr> <th>• Cable &amp; Jumpers</th> </tr> </table> <table border="0"> <tr> <th>• Potentiometer</th> </tr> </table> <table border="0"> <tr> <th>• OLED Display</th> </tr> </table> </p><p>The above mentioned parts need to be purchased, the case for the electronics and the fan cover need to be printed. The fan cover needs to be printed with a material that has good thermal stability (&gt;100°C).<br/> I tried with PLA, PETG and ABS. Abs was the only suitable material. The electronic case could be printed in PLA, when the Mosfet is cooled with a small fan.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><ul> <li><p>The electronic case can be printed with PLA. I recommend supports, they help to ensure that the connectors fit without problems.</p> </li> <li><p>The fan cover must be printed with a material that is suitable<br/> for &gt;100°C. The fan cover is designed to be printed without any supports.</p> </li> </ul>
