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.
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

The "E Box" E stands for enclosure
