Homemade/ DIY industrial like Enclosure for the 3d printer Prusa i3 Mk3s.
The idea was to built an enclosure for the 3d printer that reduces the overall noise level of the printer and allows to control the chamber temperature. In this way it is now possible to print materials such as nylon and abs successfully and quietly.
The 3d printer is a Prusa i3 Mk3s, which is also slightly modified. The construction of the Enclosure is based on Aluminium extrusions and HPL panels. The noise reduction was achieved by adding noise insulating foam (fire retardant cl. b2) to all side panels. To control the chamber temperature a simple Pcontroller + hysteresis with a thermocouple as temperature probe inside the chamber was used, as well as a Noctua fan on the back of the enclosure for regulating the air flow 'cooling'.
