Improvement 08.2023: Addition of a filament guide for PTFE tube

 

A simple and pretty box for 3d printer. 

I simply modeled the angles in cube form with metric inserts on 3 faces (the blue cubes). The hinges of the doors as well as the handle. (In red). Central reinforcements (in red). 

You will need M5 and M6 screws as well as metric inserts. 

In black on top a two filament guide to place the reel at the bottom left or right of the box.

I cut and lengthened the Ender 3's screen wires to place the screen outside the box.

You need to buy transparent plexiglass about 3mm thick. You cut it to size according to the size of your printer (I have cut with dremel metalic saw). For the Ender 3 my box measures 50cm wide, 60cm deep and 50cm high. Then it is necessary to drill the angles with a wick of 5.5mm and 6.5mm and then assemble with the M5 and M6 screws.

The box works very well and the interior and very bright. In addition it has style and you can easily make it even more beautiful with some RGB LEDs

You also need a 4.5mm diameter metal rod to mount the door hinges. If you have for example only 5 mm, you can drill the hinges together to adjust the hole
