Server Rack 3D Printer Enclosure

prusaprinters

<p>Even before I received my 3D printer, I was looking for an appropriate enclosure. I did that for two reasons: One being that filaments other than PLA tend to warp outside the stable temperature environment an enclosure provides, and two being that I wanted to reduce the <a href="https://www.irrgang.dev/comparing-3d-printer-emissions/">toxic emissions</a> and noise of the printer.</p><p>There are a few common options, though none of them really convinced me. One of the most recommended options is the <a href="https://blog.prusaprinters.org/cheap-simple-3d-printer-enclosure_7785/">Ikea LACK enclosure</a>, developed by Prusa itself. While certainly enticing, what I didn’t like about it was the fact that it’s practically made out of paper maché. As affordable as Ikea furniture is, it's also not very durable.</p><p>Other alternatives are usually little more than <a href="https://box3d.eu/shop/box3d-500-3d-printer-enclosure/">boxes made of acrylic</a> or little <a href="https://www.creality3dofficial.com/products/3d-printer-enclosure-safe-quick-and-easy-installation">plastic tents</a> that are sold for outrageous prices.</p><p>I found an ideal enclosure <a href="https://www.irrgang.dev/ideal-server-rack-3d-printer-enclosure/">as further described on my website</a>.</p><p>I want to collect various improvements here, such as closing up the holes for improved enclosure temperature.</p>
