So here are the 3D parts needed to create an Acrylic or Polycarbonate print area enclosure with higher temperature resistance for better results with ABS printing, less dust entering, and more electronics safely hidden from view. This design should be accessible to all makers, regardless of workshop size or tool power. Yes, enclosing everything in a single box is a straightforward option, but keeping the electronics cool is crucial for performance excellence, making it a worthwhile challenge. It's also aesthetically pleasing to see all parts working together in harmony.

Printer Settings - Printer Brand: RepRap - Printer Model: Prusa i3 - Supports: Yes, Notes: Supporting screws can sometimes fail to extrude perfectly. Printing four identical items at once using a slicer application ensures accuracy in the design output. Post-print Processing Following ABS printing requirements involves carefully expanding the pre-drilled holes with tiny increments because of material contraction post-baking; use an exact representation from drawing plans, as m3 bolts need fitting exactly. All the surfaces need some degree of smooth sanding for better paint adhesion after priming properly. The upper left section features a flat area that you can either screw through to hold in place with any anchor of your choice or glue securely together using appropriate fixings like small metal pins and a little force applied correctly in each location; also has enough strength when held by adhesive in some cases
