Ikea Enclosure for Monoprice Maker Select/Wanhao Duplicator i3

thingiverse

UPDATE 3: It's been a while since I last updated, and I'm thrilled to see that my files have helped some people. I've made some improvements - I've switched my filament holder to a universal one found here. Additionally, I've created some leg brackets to stabilize the enclosure a bit better (I know I should have done it sooner). UPDATE 4: Since posting this update, I've added a few more features to my enclosure. I've installed LED strip lights for better lighting and an air scrubber that can be found here. Note that my scrubber didn't finish printing, but I still made it work. I've also added a Monoprice logo badge on the front, which I'll include in the downloads. Originally, I wanted to use the Ikea Stuva cabinet, but they discontinued that line. So, I chose the Lack Tables as the next best option. Inspired by this Instructable, I designed some parts for our little printer to work with this enclosure. First, I created braces to stabilize the printer at the bottom. Then, I made Z axis braces to stabilize it and get rid of the 3D printed Z braces I had. Next, I designed small L-braces for the walls and the front door. For the front door braces, I simply super glued some Neodymium magnets to them. Thirdly, I created grommets for wiring at the bottom and for the Bowden tube going through the top. You could also mount the spool holder on top and feed the filament through if you're using the original extruder. Fourthly, I made brackets for holding the control box and mounting it on the bottom. I also created a spool holder that can be mounted to the side if you're using a Bowden setup. All you have to do is screw the original spool holder into it. For the hinges, I used these, and for the door handle, I used this handle. (Thanks, justindp2006, for finding it!) For the sides, I used some corrugated plastic from Home Depot, and the front is 1/4in. thick Acrylic. You can find the measurements in the Instructable link. Print Settings: Printer: Monoprice Maker Select/Wanhao Duplicator i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 30% Notes: For the Bottom_Braces.stl, multiply by 3 and mirror 2 of them on Z. For the Z_Brace.stl, multiply by 1 and mirror 1 of them on the Z. For the ControlBox_Mount.stl, scale 1% larger to comfortably fit the control box.
