Prusa i3 (Hephestos) enclosure

thingiverse

This is an experiment to create a secure enclosure for my BQ Prusa i3 Hephestos.\nThe structure of the enclosure is built with 20mm square aluminium, boasting a thickness of 1mm, allowing me to place the filament spooler directly above.\nTo ensure maximum strength in every joint, I've custom-cut them to match the precise placement indicated in the STL files. Additionally, specialized supports are added for extra reinforcement where needed. Notably, the base joint features an M5 nut catch that securely attaches it to the base from below.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter: \nMy primary printer of choice is the Prusa i3 Hephestos.\n\nRafts: \nTo achieve optimal adhesion during printing, I choose to use rafts on my prints.\n\nSupports: \nIn order to prevent warping or other issues, I always print with supports in place.\n\nResolution: \nFor this particular project, I opted for a resolution of 0.2mm to achieve smooth and detailed results.\n\nInfill: \nTo balance weight and structural integrity, I've chosen an infill percentage of 20%.\n\nNotes: I employed the use of BRIMs and custom supports in order to ensure a solid print with no defects or warping.
