Prusa MK3 MMU2 Ikea Lack table enclosure

thingiverse

This project is an enclosure designed specifically for Prusa MK3 with MMU2, utilizing Ikea Lack tables. The original Prusa project on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2864118) was found to be too tight for the MMU2, so the corner parts were redesigned to provide more vertical space between two Lack tables. The project also includes parts that allow MMU2 teflon tubes to pass through the top table surface. Quick-fitting connectors (PC4-M10), available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KHN1HWY, are used for easy removal of teflon tubes. On January 13, 2019, corner connection parts were added that hold plexi in place. The corner_connection_psu_v5.stl file has space below to pull the power supply (PSU) cables underneath, allowing the upper part table to be lifted up without changing cables. A photo of the printed part is shown against the red-black power cables. On April 7, 2019, a video was uploaded to YouTube (https://youtu.be/8ycMkW_aRLk ) that demonstrates how plexiglass panels are mounted using holders with small magnets. This makes it easy to remove and remount the plexi in just a few seconds. The Optix acrylic sheet used is 18 inches by 24 inches, 0.080 inches (2mm) thick, and was available at the local Lowes hardware store (https://www.lowes.com/pd/OPTIX-18-in-x-24-in-Clear-Acrylic-Sheet/3143523 ). The plexi was easy to cut into the right size using a knife and snapping off excess length. All new STL files have been uploaded, including those starting with "Thingies<component_name>.stl." The screws used to mount the corner part to the table top are available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MND4774/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Magnets that hold side panels together can be found on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MZ6EJE2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The shaft part needed for the new hinge is available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NE0G9V2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. On May 12, 2019, two new STL files were uploaded: 233_Thingies_connection_component.stl and another one with space for PSU wires. These are shorter versions of the magnetic connectors holding plexiglass in place.
