I really like the design of your enclosure and was wondering if you have had any further thoughts on publishing it? I will be very grateful if you did even if only the printed parts and a brief list of parts

Regards

Paul

@Alzibiff: not sure about publishing anything as of yet. There would be a few minor things to fix to make it perfect.

@demetris: This enclosure has done nothing but wonders and It makes the printer even quieter. The walls absorb and muffle some of the sound. I also sit the printer on some foam and make sure there's nothing else rattly - otherwise it would annoy the heck out of me haha

I live in an small appartment and always have the window open as well.
Especially after printing is done to clear the fumes in the room.

I reversed the fan that was meant to cool the heatbed afterprinting so I can get the air out if needed but I'm not using it very much because I'm basically pumping this bad air in my room so it would be necessary to connect this fan directly with the outside air. The fan is also located at the bottom instead of on top.]]> Mendel90 Mendel90 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 18:24:37 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,326834,414931#msg-414931 Re: Enclosure for Mendel90?? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,326834,414931#msg-414931

I know this is a little old.. but i have a similar mendel90 with curved dibond edges i just finished designing an enclosure for. Its made from 3mm acrylic and printed brackets to hold it together. I wanted full access to the printer and didnt want a huge swinging door or a removable one, so opening upwards was a must. Magnets hold the door on the seal when its shut as well as hold it open, and the spring makes the system basically weightless. I also added some LED's so i could see what was printing for once lol :) :)

i have build a housing in mendel90-style, but it´s only a prototyp:



The final version obtain similar colours like Mendel90 from nophead... black dibond and natural white abs parts. Filament spool is outside of housing (!) and the Mendel90 need no changes. Backside is closed, too. Assembling is very easy and the housing isn´t a tinker style, it´s a pro style :D

Next step of prototyping include a bigger sliding window, a carry handle and optimized filament feeding, but first i need to finish my DIY cnc router. External milling is to expensive B)

Do you have a link to the ikea box or an article name/number?

I not find an ikea box with the right dimensions.

The problem with keeping the electronics outside the enclosure is, that this requires to pass many cables through the enclosure walls, using for example additional connectors. Also an additional housing for the electronics (with sufficient air ventilation) would be a good idea in this case for protecting the electronics.]]> GerdH Mendel90 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 11:14:42 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,326834,327559#msg-327559 Re: Enclosure for Mendel90?? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,326834,327559#msg-327559 forums.reprap.org])
Is it better to exclude the electronics and the PSU from the rest of the chamber and leave them in contact with the outside room?]]> Nilez Mendel90 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 07:20:24 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,326834,327545#msg-327545 Re: Enclosure for Mendel90?? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,326834,327545#msg-327545 The bad smell when printing ABS was also a reason for me to put my M90 into an enclosure.

But up to now I don't have an extractor. Nevertheless the smell situation has improved.
It seems, that the fumes condense in some way inside the M90, when they become cold. At least my extruder took a slightly orange color, after printing orange ABS for a while.

The doors in my enclosure I have fitted with self-adhesive soft rubber sealings, normally used for windows.
Also the operational noise of the M90 is damped significantly by the enclosure.]]> GerdH Mendel90 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 06:32:30 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,326834,327458#msg-327458 Re: Enclosure for Mendel90?? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,326834,327458#msg-327458

Now that we're talking enclosures. What about fume control? Does anyone use some sort of extractor in addition to the enclosure? I don't have an enclosure right now and I notice that when I'm working in the same room as the printer for longer periods I get mild headaches and/or a sore throat after a while. Don't think this very healthy, especially in the long run.]]> Nilez Mendel90 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 17:45:35 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,326834,327316#msg-327316 Re: Enclosure for Mendel90?? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,326834,327316#msg-327316
The Lasercut Mendel90 is designed to have an acrlic enclosure fitted but my older mendel90s have had enclosures added at various levels of technology (simplest being just putting it in a cardboard box)

In the UK we can get PC sheeting used to make greenhouses etc that works really well and is super cheap, eg:
