The file 'IKEA Lack Enclosure With Power To Removable Cover 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 11.7 MB.
This one is still work in progress but figured a few folk might find the stuff designed so far is of some use to them and may open the project to some new ideas.
There are a plethora of Lack enclosure designs out there but one thing that struck me was a lack of a design which allowed a quickly removable cover but had the facility to have lights, fans or other 12 volt dependent equipment mounted upon it. The caveat here is that it needs to be fairly low powered so don't run away with the idea of supplying heat beds and the like through the pogo pins.
The design needed to have the following attributes:
I first started this project when I bought my Anet A6 and realised that having the printer sat on a desk made it vulnerable to getting knocked and also gather a good layer of dust over time. I'd also heard that to print ABS, an enclosure was recommended due to temperature stability and also the odour at the higher hot end temperatures. Figuring I could put a charcoal filter on the enclosure extract fan,During the build, I recently acquired an Anet E12 and thought I'd do something similar for this printer also. The size and design of each printer differ significantly so I set about doing some research. I've plagiarised a fair bit of the things made and I've credited hopefully, everyone accordingly. If I've missed someone, please let me know and I will credit retrospectively.
Update. 27April2019. Set of offset Leg brackets STL's uploaded. These are intended for the E12 enclosure to give a larger enclosure volume to cater for the larger bed of the E12 (Or any other larger format printer). I'm printing off my first set so haven't tried them in anger but thought they might be useful for folk to have a go with in the meantime.
Update 17.May.19. I've edited a couple of features on the leg extension pieces. Removed the door stop on the front legs and relocated the cable entry to the rear face of the front legs rather than the inside. The 550mm enclosure height pieces also have tapped holes (M3) on the enclosure glazing lugs to allow the perspex sheet to be secured in place. This makes the cover far more rigid.
