Printer Housing with Exhaust

thingiverse

I was inspired by the creative work on www.3ders.org/articles/20150726-new-ikea-hack-lets-you-create-a-3d-printer-enclosure-for-cheap.html, so I decided to build my own 3D housing with exhaust for my Prusa i3 Steel. You can also see an alternative version on thingiverse.com/thing:1227270. To get started, you'll need a few things: * A 3D printer to print the parts * 24 M3 screws and nuts * Wood screws * A computer fan (I used the Arctic F12, available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-F12-Standard-Noise-Case/dp/B002KTVFTE) * Note: Make sure to embed the fan during printing, as it cannot be added later. Other materials you'll need: * A plastic box for storing filament * 1 M Bowden tube (attach it through the table and the plastic box for the filament) * Magnets for a locker door (no hinges are used; instead, the front is removed) * Plexiglas * Two to three IKEA Lack tables * A wood stick with a diameter of about 2 cm * An exhaust line with a diameter of about 10 cm Assembly: It's pretty straightforward. Just check out the pictures or ask me for some hints if you get stuck!
