Super Cheap Printer Enclosure for Small 3d Printer Like the Creality Ender 3 Series.
I keep my 3d printer in my basement, where it tends to be cold. So to help prevent my prints from failing, I knew I needed an enclosure. After looking online I noticed that an enclosure was about $100. After spending several $100's of dollars on printing supplies, I thought it would be wise if I came up with a cheaper solution. So here it is. (Now in one of the pictures you'll notice tooth picks pushed into the foamboard, ignore that it didn't work.)
Supplies
2 Trifold displays(foamboard not cardboard)
Packing tape.
(Optional) stretch wrap.
Packing tape.
(Optional) stretch wrap.
Step 1
Line up your two trifold displays with wings folded out.
Step 2
Line them up then tape both sides.
Stand the trifold displays up and fold into a box shape. Then repeat step 2 on the opposite side.
Step 4
Line up your "box" with edge of a table in order to get rough right angle corners. Then stretch across the top from corner to corner. Then cover the top with the material of your choosing, I choose stretch wrap.
