Most people don't actually NEED an enclosure for their printer
Everyone's spending $100 to $300 on enclosures or building DIY ones because some YouTube video advised we need it but unless we are printing ABS or nylon regularly, we are literally just making a expensive box for our printer to sit in. I am printing PETG and PLA in an open room with zero issues. Meanwhile ppl are putting their printers in tiny boxes and wondering why their electronics are failing.
The enclosure obsession feels like another case of solving problems we don't actually have.
