- if you use cartesians 3d printers, everything above petg has a hard time sticking to the buildplate or have some defects due to thermal instability.
an enclosure for your 3d printer is the most affordable way to unlock ABS, ASA, PCCF and others without changing the hole printer with an enclosed 3d printer.

Good video, I have been looking to upgrade since I've been using a medium Lowe's cardboard packing box with the flaps taped open and one side cut out so it can be pushed over and not interfere with the spool feeder in the back. It is obviously not perfect because every side isn't closed, but it was about $4 + 2 ft of tape. My printer has a camera so I just watch that as it prints because the view is 100% blocked. So far no surface issues! I have had some bed adhesion problems with ABS, but that was eventually solved by just using a raft.
U can simply place the side and top panels between the slots in the aluminium extrusions , they'll be locked in place once the frame is assembled 😊. In that way the tapes can be avoided which will probably be a problem in the long run.
The "E Box" E stands for enclosure
Meanwhile my ender 3 pro that i print ABS on i just stuck in a closet that i was already using for filament storage.
Even with an enclosure you get inconsistent cooling from the bed moving back and forth 😢 I found I had to passively warm the enclosure in my g-code for 10 min to help further warm. And if printing multiple parts I would put them on the X plain to prevent the bed from moving as much
