Ender 3 pro enclosure recommend

Hanhanna

Hi, I have an Ender-3 pro with the Sprite extruder, I want to buy an enclosure.

Is there an enclosure recommended?

  • I built my own enclosure using the IKEA lack tables using this set of files https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4568507 , but I made mine to house 2 printers and used double doors to shorten the swing into the walkway. I also moved the power supplies to underneath the enclosures and added switches to control the power as well as the lights and fans. image

    Have you considered any filtering on ventilation for these?

    I don’t print anything except PLA or TPU on these machines. I do have a Welding rated fume extractor as well as a couple of in line ventilation fans I picked up in case I felt the need. I would most likely print a shroud to screw my cooling fan to through the plexiglass and then have the 4” inline fan at the point of exhaust. The case is within 10’ of the window

    Unfortunately, the fumes from PLA are still toxic even if they can be less abundant in some circumstances than ABS. There's a good comparative report here:
