Printer enclosure

thingiverse

I created this enclosure to facilitate laminar heating of printed items. I utilized some old 9 mm pine plywood for the enclosure and printed all other parts to hold the wood panels together. The company from which I purchased the printer encourages using an enclosure when printing ABS, citing its benefits in maintaining a stable environment. I also designed the enclosure to allow me to print in my room without disturbance while sleeping or working. A short video demonstrates the difference it makes when the door is open compared to closed. I will upload CAD drawings of the enclosure wall, top, and bottom soon. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to comment. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Prusa I3 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 20% Notes: The brackets were printed, but it took a considerable amount of time. If you're short on time, you can simply purchase them from a local DIY store. I did not provide instructions for assembly as I believe it's self-explanatory from the pictures. However, if someone asks in the comments, I'll be happy to assist. The filament holder that I'm currently using will soon undergo a change. The current design is a combination of something I found and my own creation. This design is quite large, allowing for upgrading your printer to a bigger system without needing to rebuild or enlarge the enclosure.
