I've been looking to replace a boxed (cardboard boxed) i3 with something that allows for an enclosed build area while keeping the motors/electronics outside (in order to keep them cool)
It seems to me that this could be most easily/elegantly achieved with a delta, but I've not been able to find any examples.
There was mention of an enclosed build area somewhere related to the Kossel Pro, but they seem to have abandoned the idea.
Has anyone tried this?

I am also enclosing my delta. The main thing is to try to keep as many plastic parts out of the printer. Do not use PLA printed parts inside the enclosure. I tested ABS with 80c water and it did not warp or soften. I also am putting in a 150w air heater to set the chamber to the desired temp, between 50-70c is the goal. I am going to use sheet aluminum with cork insulation on the inside. One thing I think we need to keep in mind is the ventilation after a print is done. A concentrated atmosphere of gasses should be filtered and evacuated before the printer finishes. I am planning on using a blower fan and a carbon filter to evacuate the heat as well as the fumes if the fumes still persist I will use a flex hose mounted to an atmospheric exhaust.
