Mods:

  • PEI print bed (Fantastic upgrade if you want to print PLA, made a huge difference in bed adhesion.)

  • Titan Extruder

  • Noctua Fans (Dramatic improvement in noise from the stock screaming fans)

  • All Metal Hotend (Micro-Swiss)

So far, I'm loving this. Just finished up my enclosure, and got it mounted into place.

Have you bought the enclosure or is it self made? Would love an enclosure like this. By adding a smoke detecting arduino and something that turns of the power (like a 433 MHz radio controlled socket) combined with something like this would give me peace of mind if I ever left my ender while out.

Self made from old materials lying around. It's framework from a company called 80/20 that makes aluminum extrusion, this particular form is their QuickFrame. 1/4 inch polycarbonate, which again I had laying around makes up the windows.

Even just hot glue and insulation foam would make a usable enclosure, there's plenty of cheaper simpler diy options.

4.0 inches are 10.16 centimeters. I'm a bot.
