IKEA LACK table enclosure PRUSA MK3 modification

thingiverse

I started building the original enclosure, but soon realized that some design elements were not optimal. The position of the main switch on the power supply made no sense; it was located at the back and beneath the table. I wanted to control LED lights as well, so I created an extra "switch box" with 2 independent switches. One switch controlled the printer itself and was positioned in a way that prevented accidental shutdowns, while the smaller one regulated the LED strips' light inside. I installed 4 LED strips around the enclosure with a total length of 1.6 meters, which now provides ample lighting within. Since I couldn't trust the glue holding the LED strips to the paper surface of the IKEA table, I designed and printed holders for them. Additionally, considering the high temperatures inside, I created fixation holders to secure everything in place. To improve wiring organization and safety, I installed an electrical installation box at the center of the lower table's bottom panel. The transparent panels I cut were 440x440 mm but turned out larger than necessary; I had to trim a few millimeters from the sides where they fit into the holders. I also reinforced the front door holders with additional screws 3 mm in length. Using magnets from furniture, I redesigned the door handles and placed them on top for a cleaner appearance. I'm thinking of adding a top floor for the filament spool to keep it warm and shielded from moisture.
