3D Printer Enclosure
(based on Prusa's Lack Table setup)




Project Overview
Jan 2017 - Ongoing
This Project is based on the open source Prusa Lack Enclosure (link listed below). The point of this for me was that the space in which i live has fluctuating temperatures depending on the season. In the winter it can be quite cold and in the summer humid. This would cause slight printing quality issues with warping and layer adhesion due to layer cooling issues. The simplest solution was to build an enclosure around the printer to keep the ambient temperature stable. This actually allowed for some other interesting add-ins as well for some cool safety features. The Enclosure was completed with the LEDs recently but the next phase is the add in a temperature sensor and OLED screen as well as a camera and fire sensor for remote monitoring which will most likely be based on the OctoPi system,

Since this was based on the open source Prusa enclosure the files are all available online. The table i ordered however was about 93% of hte size of the tables used in their build so everything had to be scaled and adjusted to fit.
