Modular 3D Printer Enclosure
Description
PDFCo-author: @JakubJoziewic_498185
This enclosure was designed in order to be easily built, customisable and accessible. Minimal panel sizes for Prusa i3MKS+ are (in millimetres) back: 500x525, side: 2 590x525, top: 506x590, front: 2 60x525, door: 377x525, all of them 3mm thick. By varying the size of panels this enclosure can be virtually fitted for any printer. For bigger enclosures stability might be an issue, therefore we do not recommend it without altering thickness of panels, their material, size of the corners, etc. In the future we may add additional modules.
Total dimensions for Prusa i3MKS+: X - 597mm Y - 513mm Z - 531mm
Non-printable necessary parts (for basic configuration - no additional modules):
34 M3x10 screws
6 M3x16 screws
40 M3 nuts
PVC angle trim (to cover all the edges, length excluding corners)
≥3cm radius drill (to make a hole for power cables)
strong double-sided tape
Prusa filament holder handle
Modules' parts:
Lock: 44 M2x10 screws, 4 M2 nuts, 2 magnets 12x4x6mm - during printing put the magnets in

Thermometer holder (max thermometer's back size 47x41x30mm, resize according to needs): 4 M2x15 screws, 2 M2x10, 2 M2 nuts
Printable parts & PRINT SETTINGS:
ALL PARTS SHOULD BE PRINTED FROM PETG
In general, the thicker the layer the more durable the part is, so don't print with lower layer thickness than given.
| Part Name | Quantity | Infill | Layer thickness | Supports |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| up-corner | 4 | 70% | ≥0.2mm | optional |
| down-corner | 4 | 70% | ≥0.2mm | optional |
| down-inside-corner | 4 | 85% | ≥0.2mm | no |
| handle | 1 | ≤15% | arbitrary | yes |
| hinge-up | 2 or 3 | 70% | 0.2mm | no |
| hinge-down | as hinge-up | 70% | 0.2mm | no |
| spool-adapter-(left/right) | 1 | 85% | ≥0.22mm | yes |

ASSEBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Correct assembly of walls is necessary for the stability of the whole structure. The top wall should be put on top all other walls. Back and front wall come in between side walls. In order to screw the corners on properly, mark correct spots on the walls with a marker during fitting. For a 3D Assembly check project's OnShape page (it's a bit messy). PVC angle trims should be added at the end to stabilise whole structure. Down inside corners can stick to the desk to prevent the enclosure from moving.
Upcoming changes / modules:
None of these has a set release date.
- RaspberryPi holder
- Simpler filter (that doesn't require so much hardware)
- Stabilising corners for bigger enclosures
- Tool holders / organisers for enclosure corners
