Summary

Sometimes I'm printing in ABS on my Elegoo Neptune 4 and doing this in an enclosure helps a lot.

I started to use a cardboard box at the very beginning and thought about buying a 3D printer enclosure, but later decided not to go this way for the following reasons:

  • Small enclosures are not high enough to fit the printer with spool on top and big enclosures are really too big for my workbench;
  • It is harder to do maintenance when printer is inside enclosure;
  • Whole printer is inside the enclosure and this is not good for the printer's board and integrated power supply;
  • In my situation printer sitting on workbench in garage and just putting a box on top leaves too many gaps at the bottom.

Long story short, I decided to create a support that can be assembled around printer (without moving it at all) that will support the box for situations when I need to print in ABS.

I monitored temperatures while printing ABS. Temperature insde reached 46 C (ambient temperature was 25 C). MCU and Host chip temperatures were as while printing without any box.

STEP files included.

Orca Slicer project with all settings I used included.

Planks will require 30-50 g filament each. Leg will require ~7g.
You will need 1 or 2 legs for every connection.
