Prusa i3 Printer Box

thingiverse

I'm not handy with tools, so I devised an effortless way to create a box for my printer. Attached are all the stl files and a SketchUp file that includes everything in it - There's a layer in the SketchUp file which has the parts ready to print. To my knowledge, no one has created a box with this system yet! It's now up to you to take on the challenge! It's designed for 5 mm plywood, but the plastic parts holding it together printed out with 4.5 mm spacing - hopefully, that will fit perfectly with the plywood! The Prusa inside is found at: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29795/#files The narrow compartment on the left beneath the printer is meant for the ATX power supply! The larger compartment can be chosen to be accessible through the wider front plate - refrain from fastening it! I recommend using the Prusa i3 Fixation, but I couldn't find the part number unfortunately. Instructions In the skp file, some hinges are missing at the corners of the plexiglass, but they're there in stl files as a backup - you might not need them anyway. Some holes are for self-tapping wood screws: I used 40 mm screws made for plasterboards - they're so thin that they won't damage the part and offer excellent grip! - The plastic may sag a little if you use my stl files with a thin outer layer, but applying a rubber foot to the screw won't make a difference, and it will hold just fine! You can choose to skip attaching the larger of the two front lids as it's intended for holding filament.
