As for your ABS parts use gluestick and alter the gcode to leave the heat bed on after the print and slowly lower the temp to keep it cool slower. Also let the enclosure heat up for like an hour before you start the print. The hotter you can get it in there the better.
Looks like a nice looking closer. Now days you are very lucky if you can even buy any type of kit that is halfway right or even close to what it suppose to look like or come together anyway shape or form. Hope you are doing ok with your health issue . Mine and Bonnie’s prayers have been with you. Thanks for sharing
The great thing about 3D printed kits, is that you can often change them to be what you want. I'm reprinting some of this to use brass inserts instead of nuts. I have spent a lot of time getting outfitted with tubes for the upcoming treatments, should start in a week or two. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers
@@woodwaker1 - That is one heck of a enclosure. I pray that your new rodeo doesn't kick hard, and you get off the horse in perfect condition. Sending prayers!
I've struggled a little bit with corner warping. Sharp corners are always prone to this, especially on Big thick parts. I've combatted it with a brim only on the corners, and a block of material on the brim separated from the part by .6 mm. This gives the brim strength not to lift and because of the .6 mm gap between the block and the part you can cut the .2mm thick brim off super easy with a sharp utility blade and it leaves no mark. I'm also using the Prusa box as a temporary enclosure. If i was to make another one of these I'd design a small gap between each section and cover the gap with a trim piece. Then a little warping on the corners would be hidden
@woodwaker1 I also used some cardboard to seal up the bottom half while attempting an ASA print of the enclosure parts. 110 bed temp caused a jam pretty quickly, 105 with the fan cover in the lid removed went almost 24 hours before jamming but I also had corner warping. I'm currently printing the parts now in PETG since an enclosure isn't really needed. Did you ever get a successful ABS print?
I printed most of the parts on my MK4 which is in an enclosure. I only have the large pieces left. I plan to use the box the printer comes in as a makeshift enclosure while i print the larger parts. That's a bummer on the door tilting away like that. Have you reached out to 3D Sorcerer to see if there's a good fix for that?
I think the door problem was more related to the side mount. I have changed the front parts to brass heat set inserts and added a top to the door frame. Let me know how yours comes out.

I did change the gcode to slowly cool down the bed when the print was done. I did not try any bed adhesive, but may try in the future.
That’s pretty cool, I’ve never seen that before.
thanks, I'll bet you have of will see it close up
That looks very nice! It seems sturdy but not an excessive amount of 3d printed parts either. Cool!
It does what it was built to do. Will be interesting how this compares to what ever Prusa finally comes out with. This is a simple design but works
Did you ever get the nozzle brushes? I have a different type on mine - seem to work, but i have not done much swapping

Very nice
Thanks I do enjoy my time spent there making stuff
Very cool, that must be a huge enclosure. Thanks for sharing. I hope you are doing well!
Thanks. It does enclose all of the printer which is quite a feat!
Wow! That is one massive enclosure! Well I guess it has to be, there really isn't any other way around it. Hope you are doing well my friend?
Thanks John, wanted to get this done before I start my new rodeo

some good ideas. I'm just about done with pimping my Prusa Xl. have reprinted the extruder parts in orange abs and added accents to the Sumo in orange
That is quite the printer "hot box." Hope the next pieces turnout better now that they are temperature controlled.
Still testing, I had a jam on the extruder, the part that pushes the plastic through, maybe too hot, not sure

@@dstrcto I did, had some slight warping but no jams. My temp maxed at about 100F. I did have jams with PLA when I had the doors closed.

how does it change the sound profile? I know open air the XL can get loud well compared to my Voron 2.4.
It does not reduce the sound by much. The XL is not that load compared to the Bambu. I have all of mine in the basement, so noise is not a problem
