Good stuff! Have some lack tables coming next week. This really helps give me an idea of what to expect. Thanks Chris!
Great to hear!
Appreciate the awesome walkthrough! Just ordered my doors today, decided to go with hardboard on the other 3 sides to contain the light. Also a big thank you for providing the modified parts as well a part list for additional parts used. My only critique is the absence of quantity required for construction. Appreciate all you do for the community, thank you!
Thanks for your insight. Good luck with your projects!
Probably the best step by step video for an enclosure so far.. Thank you for this video.
I enjoyed making this. Thanks for watching.
Great video Chris! Always looking forward to your next one! Cheers.
Awesome, thank you!
Dude great detail - nice job !!! Thanks for doing this !!! Happy Holidays
Thanks, you too!
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this... was going to start the v1 of the Prusa enclosure on Monday... wanted to originally do this one, but didn't want to mod it too much for my Ender... THANKS!!!!
Glad I could help
I absolutely love your channel. every one of your vid's are interesting and relevant to me. great job
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching
Wow, great walkthrough and totorial 👍😊
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us 👍😊
Happy new year to you and your family 🎇💕
Thank you. Happy new year!
Got an Ender 3v2 for Christmas, and been looking all over for the right Lack enclosure plan. Found it. This is it. Thank you for posting this.
Great to hear! Enjoy!
Your V2 fit in?
I have the same. Did you put the PSU outside and how did you print the parts some of them are bigger then the bed
@@drug2 The V2 fits, but yes, the power supply is slimmer, and the parts are made for a Prusa bed, you would need to split some of them.
@@ChrisRiley what do you mean split some of them? Thank you!
Nice work Chris! Really good video man!
Thanks Stephen!
Thank you Chris. And Happy New Year.
Thanks for watching Zimmy, Happy New Year!
Great build! I’m working on one now with some similar brackets. Great content and thanks for the video!
Awesome, thanks for watching.
Thanks Chris, love that blue filament
Thanks, me too
Thanks, it's a great color.
Thank you! Best Video on youtube for Build this Enclosure!! Great work!!!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow... awesome build. Now makes me want to build one for my CR-10 mini
Go for it!
Great info. Just in time. I am in the middle of my own enclosure build and I needed that Bed Wire Manager.
Glad I could help!
Great video! Excellent walkthrough with plenty of explanation... Would love to see such a build for the Ender 3V2...
Thank you!
Uh oh! Obviously new and overwhelmed. I just got the ender 3 v2… will it not fit in this enclosure? I got the tables and ordered the plexi etc but haven’t gotten my machine out yet. Just gathering everything to start my journey.
@@LifeHacksbyStacy The power supply of the Ender 3V2 is mounted differently than that of the Ender 3. You can probably get it to work with this enclosure but it is a little more difficult to do.
Excellent information. Expertly executed. Thank you sir!😀👍
Glad it was helpful!
Oh now you did it. I just ordered all the stuff to do this.
Hey Zimmy, it's a fun build for sure.
Wow, notifications finally came on time for once!
And you were first!
didn't for me :(
you just made my life easier while starting with 3D printer world , thanks lot
Glad to hear that!
Very spiff. I've had my DIY Mendel in a Lack V1 enclosure for a couple of years. It makes all the difference in my cold basement, even for PLA and PETG.
We know about basements! Thanks for watching
Like the video, keep up the good work
Thanks for the visit
I always thought these lack enclosures looked really neat, but it took me a long time to understand why anyone would want one. I just always assumed that if you owned a 3d printer, you probably owned a table saw and other tools that I always thought every maker should have. Some day I might quit making assumptions haha
Good video, hope you have a wonderful New Years.
It's just kind of fun to use other cheap items to build things I think. It's a fun build for sure.
@@ChrisRiley The end result is a shaking cabinet, not worth it considering the money spent on the wood-less tables, plexiglass and 200h of printed parts.
@@valyo007 Correction. The end result is what you make it. Period. If you have a wobbly cabinet made of IKEA Lack tables, consider what you could do to make it less wobbly. You are the ultimate cause of your own effect. As one over engineered example, you could use a steel girder to support wedding cake.
One thing I have learned is that having a house big enough to have a shop with tools and a yard that usually comes with that house means you have to spend a lot of time maintaining the yard and house. This leaves you less time for the hobbies. That and lumber these days costs a ton. These tables are next to nothing.
One thing I've found is that to make adhesive-backed items stick to a porous surface like MDF or the like, use some gloss spray paint or clear coat spray. The smooth surface the paint provides will make the adhesive REALLY grip like it was intended. The LED strips will then stay put. I do like your mount blocks for the LEDs though. I think they'll come in handy for a lot of projects.
Thanks Rob, great tip I will have to try it.
I don't think that's the problem in this case. If you buy a strip of LEDs the tape they come with usually isn't even very sticky. Like even to itself it just falls right off. I usually add some E6000 to mine and just paper tape it in place until the glue dries.
very nice work.
Thank you very much!
Bro I was just looking for this video this last week to help me with my CR6-SE
Glad I could help, thanks for watching!
Nice job. Looking forward to see it in action.
I saw your "you are fired" in the background, Hehehe. Nice detail. Was it part of an episode? Maybe you should also print the fax machine the used in the movie.
Cheers
lol, that's not a bad idea, I should try to design one. No, it hasn't been in a video yet, more of an Easter egg.
It seems like Prusa has designed this to use as much filament as possible! LOL
Well, they do like to print things.
You want it to be rigid as well and not snap 3 months later so you have to rebuild the table again.
How much filament does it take?
Awesome video Chris, highly informative, great quality on your prints, What filament are you using PLA, PETG ? Keep up the good work.
All the blue is PLA, the only piece I used PETG on was the bed cable holder.
@@ChrisRiley Thanks Chris, I am trying to print the parts now but when I open the STL files in Cura 4.8 they appear of the bed and poking through the bottom!!! Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Cheers
I made a similar enclosure for my ender 3 last June. If I were to do it again I would just buy some 2x2 and some 10mm ply. It would save all the 3D printing and work just as well.
and probably be much more solid since there is no way this thing makes good prints with that shaky table.
@@JasonEllingsworth Actually it works quite well. I can now print ABS reliably on my Ender 3, and it comes out really well.
There is room for improvement on these for sure, sometime these are an excuse to print stuff. :)
Looking great
Thanks!
Thanks and thanks for watching.
Good video, some camera angles could have been better, but overall the camera angles in this were excellent and much appreciated as some seemed hard to get. Appreciate the clear steps and chapters.
Thank you
A clearear Corrogated plastic 4x8 foot sheet ($35) makes a functional heated enclosure even for my big cr10s pro. Packaging tape seals the edges and for giggles I used a $10 Ikea picture frame for the front door. I folded as many of the edges as possible so the top and three sides are a single part. Some excess sheet was used to make a horizontal baffle to insulate the electronics from the heated upper region for the heated bed and print. A tube directs the original electronics exhaust fan air out of the chamber and is replaced by cool room air that slips in under the front edge of the door to replace the exhausted air. With the Bed at 110C the chamber stabilizes 48C measured using the hot end thermistor (extruder heater off and fan on).
Very nice, I love enclosure hacks.
Cheer Chris. I think if I went this way, I'd move to a direct drive so I could run the filament directly from above.
Great video mate!
I think that is probably the best way to go. Thanks!
Hi Chris nice video. you mentioned for the leg where the hole for the power cable is, that if you put the power supply outside you can rework that part. but i'd like to point out that the other part on the back (the right one?) is exactly what you need. so what i did was print that part again to replace the one with the hole in it.
Nice, good tip.
thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I am using a washing machine noise dampening pad and a concrete block under my Prusa i3 MK3S, which increases the height to not to fit into the Lack enclosure. The simple solution I did was to but 5x5x15 wood blocks, drill a hole on one side and connect it with the leg of the Lack to increase the height for 15cm, which gave me engineering room to install my printer. I didn’t have to modify the parts at all and it looks amazing!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Hey Chris, great video as always! I am planning to mount a raspicam inside the enclosure in the front-left leg. Do you think the orientation you used for the led strips is ok or it will reflect towards the cam? Shall I mount them slightly angled to avoid the light reflecting on the bed/cam?
That's a good idea. I just kind of play with it and see what works. Thanks
i bought the acrylic/plexiglass off amazon 3 weeks ago and am 1 week into printing when I found the video :P. It takes forever to print all this stuff.
Yeah it does! Thanks for watching
Chris great videos. I like the way you break things down and go into detail. I'm building an enclosure for my ender3. Do you know of anywhere I can get the STL files for the parts? The ones on prusa site are for petg profile and cuts won't let me change it. I'm looking for a pla profile. Any help is appreciated
Thanks, you should be able to use the 3MF files below to change the properties and print them with PLA. Check on the files tab. www.prusaprinters.org/prints/3673-prusa-enclosure-v2-mmu2s/files
seemed it was kinda "lacking" LOLOLOLOL sorry, couldn't help it! awesome as always Chris! (PS missing the little jokes/goofy texty things in the beginning, they were fun. ;) )
I ran out of ideas, I'll try harder to think of some more. ;)
@@ChrisRiley just hit up Bryan, he's got them pouring outa him all the time. :)
Hi Chris, I want to start off by saying thank you for all your efforts. I appreciate you. I have my enclosure done. I got the plexi from Printed solid and they are super nice. The only things I am stuck on is how to feed the filament. I know you said you were still working that out. And I should mention that I put my CR-6se inside there and not an Ender 3. But they are almost the same size so I went for it. Have you come up with anything that works well for feeding the filament (into the enclosure, spool location, etc)?
The side feed seems to work okay for my ender 3. I have seen some designs where they have a slot in the top that looks promising. www.prusaprinters.org/prints/7115-lack-enclosure-filament-slot-guide#preview
Just remember to run an earth-wire from the PSU side back up to the printer frame. Nice video.
Good tip!
How can we do that? Just a wire from the frame to the psu case?
for plugging the cable tunnel in the back-lower-left corner block, you can just set up your overhang support so that it ends up nearly plugged by the supports...not airtight, but neither are the doors or panels, so good enough for me. I cant take credit...Cura just did it for me!
Cool, thanks!
I just found you video. Thank you for going this video. Will this enclosure work for a Voxelab Aguila S1 with the changes you made for the Ender 3?
Thanks! I'm not sure, I don't own that machine, but I'm sure you can find the dimensions to compare them.
Great video as always! Just a question, where can I find the file for the angled bed cable guide? Can’t find it in the description
It's in here. www.prusaprinters.org/prints/49529-prusa-lack-enclosure-v2-modded-for-the-ender-3/files
Great video! I am having trouble figuring out which files need to be printed from the Prusa make, and which ones are replaced with yours. Any guidance?
Thanks! These are the only ones that are different from the Prusa project. www.printables.com/model/49529-prusa-lack-enclosure-v2-modded-for-the-ender-3/files
What settings did you use? I printed my LACK v1 with 2 perimeters and 15% infill (Prusa defaults) in PETG and was quite annoyed by how often parts, usually, the v1 hinges managed to break. The magnets are also clever, but I opted for a round magnet variant since I already had some. It seems hard to find the ones Prusa uses in the US unless one orders from China and waits.
I used Prusa defaults, 2 perimeters, 5 tops, 4 bottoms, 20% cubic infill. I did use PLA, and haven't had anything break. On the thin wall prints I think PETG might be a bit difficult to use.
Thanks!
Thank you
Hey Chris! Thanks for this excellent video. I know this is not your design, but wanted to ask anyway. I would love to make the bottom supports longer to get a little taller enclosure. Is it possible that I could increase the height of the bottom supports to match the height of the top supports by using the modeling files?
Yes, you should be able to bring them into CAD software and change them up.
Hey Chris, have you ever thought of building a Voron V0 or V2?
i think it would make an awesome video series
Absolutely, going to build a V0 very soon.
@@ChrisRiley please chris no, i cant talk myself out of buying V0 for like third time
great video! Just one question... it's ok to leave the LCD and motherboard inside
Thanks, yes, those part should be good up to 60c.
Hi! If i want an extraction on the encloser, di you recomend 2 fan (one in and one out) or just one fan out to keep the temperature hot inside the enclosure?
Maybe just one out, then maybe try to route the warm air back in.
hi chris can you share the printer part brace aluminum extrusion file like the one you used on ender 3?
Ah, now I see what you are talking about. It's in here. www.prusaprinters.org/prints/49529-prusa-lack-enclosure-v2-modded-for-the-ender-3/files
Awesome video.
Do you have the heat bed cable holder available for download?
Yes, it's in here. www.prusaprinters.org/prints/49529-prusa-lack-enclosure-v2-modded-for-the-ender-3
Hey Chris, nice video. After looking at a few different designs, I like this one. Your instructions help. I do have one question though. I grabbed the print files from the links you provided. When I open them, they are GCode rather than the STLs I'm used to seeing. Did I get/grab the wrong files or is that the way they are posted?
When they are in gcode you can put them in the printer and start. STL gets transformed into gcode
Thanks!
@@Alex-qg9mj correct. However, it is from the stl that I am able to make my printing configuration settings and then create the Gcode. Using a pre-created code bypasses my ability to input printer unique settings.
Working on my lack enclosure soon, what are the best support settings for CURA for these parts?
I wish I knew, I am not really all that familiar with CURA.
Hello Chris i think heat bad cable with ur printed part for goes down it ll be adds more stress to cable ,which drains much current while heating, need more effective solution. But content is very good as always ty
I will keep an eye on it, it doesn't have a hard crimp in it, but you could be right.
Quick question, did you need cable extensions for the PSU? If so could you please link them (preferably UK links) thanks!
I made one from 14g wire and another XT60 connector. www.amazon.com/MCIGICM-Upgrade-Female-Bullet-Connectors/dp/B07Q2SJSZ1/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1DH9P0KIXR8CM&keywords=xt60+connector&qid=1679442415&sprefix=xt60+connector%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-5
Would it work in an 18” depth but much wider cabinet ? Curious on the full front to back operation dimensions on the ender 3
With the bed wire the ender 3 is about 23" deep and 18" wide travel.
I wonder if a couple of concrete slab on foam like cnc kitchen uses would help on sound
I am sure it would, I wish I could find some smaller ones.
Great video! I do have a question though, I am trying to print these parts on an E3P, that said, do I need to print these parts with the supports? I removed to supports in prusaslicer first, then opened them in cura. I just want to save some time and filament where I can and thought that it was worth an ask. I am pretty new to printing and I'm not sure how to limit the amount of supports like they have them set in prusaslicer.
It's best to go with the Prusa Slicer recommendation.
Great Vid i want to make one but how would you do the psu on the ender 3 v2 now that it is in the printer??
I think you can, there is probably a mount out there for it. You just need to skinny up the one I used.
As always a great video. The one downside to powering the lights from the 24v PSU is that the printer has to be powered on for the lights to work. I believe in your V1 video you used external. I wonder how often one would need those lights on troubleshooting with the power on printer turned off? Any thoughts on the pros/cons of either solution?
For this design with the flip up top I thought maybe it would be easier to work with the lights off, so I went this route.
That makes sense... I forgot about the flip up top. This is great video they makes me more comfortable building an enclosure.
Hey Chris, do you happen to remember about how much filament you used throughout this project? Was a single 1kg spool enough for all the parts?
The version I show here I think you can get it done in less than a KG.
Hi! I am new to 3D printing, like a week in haha. Liked the video, but had a question. Were all of these pieces printed on the Ender 3? Looking at the files, some of them as-is, do not fit on my bed in Cura. Is this something that I just need to split up and rotate for them to fit? Or am I just doing something wrong? Anyways, thanks for the help! :)
These parts were all intended to be printed on a Prusa bed. You could cut and glue some of them, but I am sure there are many great enclosure projects you can do on thingiverse to get you around this issue.
@@ChrisRiley I printed everything on an Ender 3 v2 by breaking up the files into separate pieces, and rotating the pieces 45 degrees. No need to cut any part so far.
Hey Chris,
Are you going to be making a part five on the New Ender 3 User series?? Your videos have helped me out a lot.
Thank you
Not sure yet, I might, I have found a few more things we should tackle.
@@ChrisRiley Ok thanks can’t wait. Keep up the great work!
Do you think using PLA or having PLA mods on the printer could eventually have issues with warping if frequently running 80-100C bed temps?
Not with bed temps, it should be okay.
@@ChrisRiley Thanks, that certainly makes life easier... I've been having a hell of a time printing all pieces in PETG.
How hot were you able to get the enclosure using just the bed as a heater? I've been having some success using a grow tent ;)
I can get to about 32c in one of these. Grow tents/photo tents work awesome.
The issue when printing abs with ender is that hotend fan cools the part too. When you put a piece of thin aluminum plate underneath it will guide the air off the part. And voila there will be success with abs! Please try and test and make video for others to succeed too!
Check this out. ua-cam.com/video/F1mv8yVrS0Q/v-deo.html The PETG actually work decent for this part.
Is it okay if it shakes so much? Do all Lack Table enclosures shake like that? I was thinking on building one but i think I will go for the creality enclosure
I've been using my MK2 in one for years and it does move a bit, but has never caused a problem.
Anyone know if an enclosure like this would work if I wanted it to be removeable? Most of the time I don't need an enclosure, but when I do, I'd like to just lower it over the printer when I need it, and lift it back off when I'm done. My printers are not on lack tables, but just larger regular tables.
Check on the v1 of this one, you could probably connect the legs, or glue the acrylic to make it more rigid to use it like this.
Hi Chris, love your work and your channel! I have an Ender 3 S1 Pro. I want to build an enclosure with ventilation, some sensors, lights, etc. Any recommendations? This is a good starting point, but I think there is some modifications that need to be done. Thank you!
Thanks! The lack enclosures are okay, but if you want to do a lot of moding I would look at some other options. I know they are pricey, but printedsolid makes some really nice ones.
@@ChrisRiley Thank you, I will have a look. I was also thinking about buying the extruded aluminum and just build it from scratch. You know, for a fun project.
PS: I’m new to printing and got an Ender 3 S1 Pro. Do you recommend making any changes or upgrades to it like fans and such? Appreciate all you do!
@@3Dgifts Hey! I have an S1 Pro, I would upgrade the partcooling and hotend fans. Makes it 10x quieter and more efficient. Also for the enclosure, you'll need to find a heated bed wire angle part. You'll probably need to solder it yourself because of the design
@@jong882 Thank you. Would you happen to have some links handy to parts you recommend? Also, for the bed, I'm not sure i understand. I was just going to move the motherboard and display out, or is that what you are referring to needing extensions?
When I open the files in cura, it seems to want to print the prusa custom supports as part of the model. It took me a while but I got prusa slicer dialed in
Yeah, I am not sure if Cura has a plugin to help with that.
I'm having trouble trying to figure out what parts to print from the prusa enclosure files, and what parts to print from your files. I am getting the plexiglass from the link you put in the description so I know I won't need to print the extender things, but I also can't find files 2.3, 6.3, 7.3, 9.3, or 10.3 from the prusa files anywhere the printed parts section of the video, so i'm not sure if those are used
From the PRusa Files, you will need 1,3,4,5,6,7 of you use plexi from PS. On my files the PSU holder is really the only one needed, the rest are optional .
@@ChrisRiley Thank you! I can barely wait to start building this enclosure
This is great! Thank you for the modified parts list. However, some of the parts, such as the prop rod, are to long for my print bed, and I cannot adjust them in Cura, or Prusa. Would it be possible to post a file for the prop rod that fits on the Ender 3 V2 print bed?
I'll see what I can do
@@ChrisRiley Thanks Chris! There are several parts that I just do not have the skills to figure out how allow Cura or Prusa slicer to let me adjust the prints so they fit. I would greatly appreciate anything you may be able to do.
Any issues with the PLA holding up? I get better quality out of PLA, so I'm trying to decide what to make it with.
I haven't has any issues with the PLA so far.
Great vid. Is no one building enclosures to filter the air when printing ABS or Nylon? I understand the idea of the enclosure is to capture and retain heat but what about the smell / VOC / small particles essentially off-gased from printing?
There is an HEPA 2 + Carbon Filter Design on Thingiverse for the Lack Tables, according to the community thats more than enough
There are some filters out there. BOFA systems are coming down in price as well. www.printedsolid.com/products/bofa-3d-print-pro-1-fume-extraction
I would love one that would fit a CR10-v3.
That would be a big boy. :)
How much Filament does it take to make the whole upgrade from the V1 Lack Enclosure? Also with most enclosures placed towards wall, has anyone made one with the back panel a solid color?
I think it will take almost all new parts to make that upgrade. Keep in mind, close to 200 hours is with all the spool holders and everything.
Hey dude... do you have a link for the stl files for the parts to print for this project. Love your creation. 👍
Should be all in the description. Thanks man!
FYI M6 is a machine screw thread sized to a 6mm clearance hole. Similarly other M-sized threads are defined in ISO262. Occasionally you encounter the fine pitch of a thread definition, but it's rare enough that it's checked for being UNF or even Whitworth (in the UK at leasr) first.
A wood screw might be 6x30mm for example but it's not M6.
Of course to confuse matters the UK likes to sell wood screws by imperial gauge number and metric length.
Edited because something got garbled on my phone.
This is great info, I have never used metric wood screws.
@@ChrisRiley the first half of what I said was somehow turned to nonsense, edited some, and added some context, but you probably guessed the important parts.
What parts do we need and/or not need for an Ender 3 v2/Aquila X2 variant?
I'm not sure, they have a different size power supply that would need to be reworked.
Love this video! I have a question for you… how many rolls of the Jessie would I need to make all the parts? I still have my printer in the box 😂 I plan on opening and playing with it while I wait for the plexi and Jessie. I ordered the magenta 3 rolls…. I hope that’s enough…? Thank you!
I think you can get it done with one full roll, baring mistakes. Be aware that I didn't explain the print volume of this very well. These parts are designed for a Prusa, so I printed them on a Prusa, the ender 3 is not big enough for some of the parts. They would have to be cut up to work.
@@ChrisRiley “cut up” 👀 😬 😱 what does that mean? Probably such a loaded question. I need some hand holding and a pause button on all videos. 😜 self learning here.
@@LifeHacksbyStacy I am not sure about all slicers, but I use Prusa slicer. You can load the plate of parts and then hit cut. Then delete the ones that won't fit and print them in sperate batches. I think most slicers can do this same thing now a days.
@@ChrisRiley thank you! I got my v2 plexi in. It is the newer model of plexi and says 3mm thick. I don’t know what the thickness of the original plexi is. Confused as to using the 3.175 parts to print or the original in your blog. Can you clarify for me? Thanks so much! Hopefully I will get this. I can’t wait to feel so accomplished after doing this!
I wish we could upload pics. I have a couple pieces that I printed for this enclosure that have seemed to fuse together. I did upload the 3mf file to convert to stl so I dont know if that caused the issue but but definitely something to look at if your slicer doesn't handle 3mf files. Gonna update to the new cura 5.x and try again as it now handles 3mf files I think.
You need to remove the supports in the prusa slicer. There are blocks that are supports in prusa slicer, but just solid blocks in other slicers like cura. You just need to install prusa slicer, delete the supports, save the file, and then open it in cura and add your own supports to the same areas.
@@jackbui2944 right on and thank you! I did download cura 5 and it's able to read the 3mf file now so I was able to move the pieces around so they don't print as one lol. I was wondering about the blocks tho so thank you again. I will put them into prusa slicer like you said.
Thanks for the help here @jack bui
I have a real good question. Is there a way to run OctoPrint with octoscreen I have the 4'' HyperPixel and still be able to run rgb status and plugins like this? or would I have to switch to a 7'' screen. I would love to be able to have the led lights turn on one by one as the bed and hot end get hotter and after that have it do the same thing as the progress of the print gets done more of the leds turn on. I'm running a Prusa i3 mk3s with an enclosure. So I can get 29 leds in a row. I think that would be pretty sweet. could you please help... I know if there is anyone that would know how to do it, it would be you.
I think you could do it, but you would need some way to get them connected. Even if you could find a ribbon cable to break them out or something, you just need access to the pins.
I'm trying to print the prusa_mmu_
enclosure_1.3mf but when I import the file to Cura it seems to think the supports are actual pieces of the parts 🤔 the two hinges also collide because of these supports.
Do you have any solutions for this?
You would have to use the STL files instead, not sure if there is an 3mf plugin for Cura that might help you.
I ended up setting up Prusaslicer för my Ender 3 instead 😉 really like it 😊👍
Really good! I‘m searching for an Enclosure for the ender 5. But that‘s not that easy.
Let us know what you come up with!
@@ChrisRiley Maybe i should try a solution like the new Ender 6 uses.
How hot does it get inside and is it not a problem that you left the board and the display in?
It will get to about 32c, no problems with the board or LCD at that temp.
hey chris have you heard of the voron 2.4? I've been thinking of building one from my tronxy X5S I'd love to hear your thoughts I bought the X5S for when I needed to print things too large for my ender 3 I've never gotten what I would call good prints from the X5S and I think that has a lot to do with the rods for z and that they used t slots and not v slots
I have, I really like these designs. I am going to build a v0 soon. It should be a fun build, also look at switchwire.
I’d like to build a voron v2.4.... but i’m a total noob with firmware and i’m affraid that the printer will not work because i don’t have the knowledge
@@Robertotvl well roberto the voron is a complicated build and you should really have at least one printer already to print the parts for the voron though people do sell the prints if you just want the voron as for the firmware it uses a klipper not marlin though I'm going to try a few things before using what the voron comunity has made like I found linear rails that are 3d printable and use bbs as bearings and I'm going to try to use marlin and a normal prox sensor instead of the voron's leveling that you need clipper for if it doesn't work then I will go full voron but I was never much of a raspberry pi octo print fan oh and I do custom marlin firmware for 32 bit boards from FB so if you get stuck you can always get on FB find me and PM me
@@cityhunterinak i already have an enclosed and fully modded ender 3: bigger fans, btt skr e3, micro swiss hotend and i have an ender 5+ so i should be able to print the abs parts no problem. I just have no experience with custom firmware and don’t know anything about rPI. Thanks for the help! I will start building the printer soon once i have the money lol :p
What is the coffee cup off to your right hand side???? Submarine sailor??
I got that at Sun Records in Memphis. 🙂
Great videos! I'm just wondering why you don't get more views 🤔
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So wait... You modded the corner pieces to get more height?? What size acrylic did you use, the 440x473 like in the original V2 build?
The V2 build have the correct corners you need, but you need taller acrylic. Or use the Prusa vent pieces to make up for it. www.printedsolid.com/products/v2-acrylic-sheets-for-prusa-lack-enclosure 3 sheets cut to 440mm x 473mm and 2 sheets cut to 220mm x 505mm
@@ChrisRiley I haven’t ordered the acrylic yet, but now that it’s confirmed, I’ll order the bigger sizes. Thanks!!!!!
Anyone know how much the new poer supply on V2 changes this setup?
That's a meanwell, so you would have to rework the PSU case and mount I used.
Is there anywhere I can get the specs on the length/width/height of the enclosure? I’m curious whether it would work with an Ender 5 or Pro (not the 5 Plus). Or does someone know already?
So the legs are 50mm square, so subtract those 4, it's 510mm in Z 540mm X and Y absolute max. It would be touching the acrylic at these measurements.
@@ChrisRiley , thanks. Believed or not, I looked on IKEA website and I could not find those specs. The Ender 5 is 440 x 410 x 465 mm. My thinking is that it would be a tight fit.
I went to order these from IKEA today and I found a click on the website that shows the size. I don’t know why I couldn’t get it when I looked last week. Thanks for your help though.
I can't find the lack table on ikea, is it possible to send the reference? Thanks

Ikea hacking is fun to watch, so this was like crack for me today, thanks for fixing me up. One thing that's not clear though is @39:28 -- your back acrylic already had holes drilled right? Why not just install that acrylic on the side instead of drilling new holes on the side acrylic?
I thought about that, but they were a little too high and center for my liking. It would probably work, but I went the other way.
Доброго вечера. Конструкция интересная. Остается вопрос с жесткостью и упругостью. Не будет ли корпус гулять во время работы принтера?
Он действительно сдвигается, но я использовал один из них в течение многих лет без проблем.
@@ChrisRiley Понял, Спасибо )
Will this fit the artillery sidewinder v1?
No, X1 is too big for this one.
