I have the same printer and after a year of on & off fiddling finally getting consistently good prints. I didn't know these things existed. What would be the advantage of or need for using one? I have been printing predominantly PLA and PETG. Sorry to derail the conversation... Cheers
Helps with keeping the temperature stable, reducing exposure to fumes, which isn't a huge deal with PLA or PETG unless it burns, but still a good thing, and fire protection. They won't stop a really hot burning fire, but if properly closed up, they will reduce the likelihood of the fire getting out of control by reducing access to oxygen and keeping the flames localized. Like it probably would help reduce the likelihood of a fire started by the hot end and material from spreading, but not a fire started by a short in the AC side of the power supply or cord or something like that.
It's not a necessity for PLA or even really PETG, especially if you monitor it well, but it's nice to have.
