Has anyone built an enclosure yet?
I haven't build an enclosure, yet, as I am not currently home. However, I've used half of it to rack my PowerEdge R710. I put casters on mine that I got from the local hardware store. I have a different 3d printer, so my tables are upside down and the top meets legs to legs (if that makes sense at all). I printed some parts that I found on thingiverse to facilitate this coupling of the tables. The casters were my idea and the racking of the various computers/servers in there were based on trial and error of different mounting hardware. I have two tones of some LED strips I bought that rate about 85 CRI that I am going to mount to give some passive lighting. I also want some RGB action in there--this is a secret I'll be working on when I get back.. This video inspires me to add some features to my future enclosure. Btw, this is a really great video--one of your best.
Building it right now
I build this enclosure a few month ago but I think it is very unstable, so I am going to try using a slab of concrete under the printer. Since using this enclosure, I get some Y-axis crashing even with the 65° heatbed cover.
Yes, actually not a fan at all of how rickety it turned out, far too much inconsistency of the tables. Going to just get some lumber and rebuild it reusing the plexi again.
@@cruzinbill I tried it with a slab of concrete and it seems like that stabilizes it quite well
The links you provided are so helpful! Maybe reference them more often. For a newb like me I wasn't sure if you made them/bought them/came with the ikea furniture etc. Didn't know why the disassembly of the machine was necessary either. Probably makes sense to the advanced people watching. Great video!
Awesome buddy grate video very helpful 👍🏼
Good video, George! New room is a little more echoy than the last, but since you're moving soon it probably isn't worth fixing.
I'll be moving in a month too so I'm putting off getting the tables until I move. One more thing that I don't need to move is fine by me. I will be trying this though. Thanks for the video.
You are welcome, and thanks so much for watching! They are great and I recommend them :)
4:50 is when he starts building the enclosure
Nerd...they have to earn it, don't cheat for them
Great video! can you advise some details on the spool holder you decided to use, is it fixed to the top of the lack table? Did you make the hole for the filament guide in the centre of the top. Thanks
Thanks for th build video. I have all the parts for my IKEA lack enclosure, but I've been too busy printing to assemble it. I just realized that all my LED strips are 12v, so I'll have to order a 24v strip as well. The one you used looked good.
If you don't mind some extra electronics jazz, you can get some pretty cheap DC-DC step up BUCK converters.
No problem peter, I really like them I could probably light the whole room with them XD
Great! I am planning to build one. Would you recommend to get the #10 screw for 3/4? Or #12 3/4 like what Prusa said? NEED YOUR HELP!
The reason to not use PLA is because the parts will melt if your box gets to hot. I had mine melt and a door fell off when I was printing tpu. So if you plan on printing anything other than PLA parts I seriously recommend not using PLA for your parts

LINK FOR THE PARTS
thanks mang
I am putting this together right now, I had to move up to #14 2in screws as the #12 would not tighten.
Build an Ikea enclosure myself. Only my Plexiglass supplier doesn't know how to cut and mine where 44.1cm square. So had to redesign parts to make it fit. What i do miss in this video. The printing experience with the Ikea enclosure.
Great video, man. It's good to see you back. I don't see your Patreon link, though.
I know I know, I need to make one....I just feel like if I were to do that I would feel SO obligated to make content lol.
Take the time you need. We'll be here when you get back from taking care of your life. Your content is entertaining, simple as that. We shouldn't be sitting by with outrageous expectations for you. Having said that, I personally will go out of my way to make memes of you whether you are active or not.
Great to see you back George!
Thanks Tom!
nice upgrade! no enclosure here, you only really need it for ABS, I prefer PETG. Plus if I need a 40°C ambient temperature, I just need to shut down the climatization, open the windows and wait 20min :D Hot Mallorca is HOT!
Thanks Raphael, dude Mallorca looks sweet as hell! I dont like ABS either, but I do enjoy the look of the Plexiglas for some reason lol
Lol it’s the table. That specific table is so so. We had them in college.
I figured Marco...that thing is uhhhhhh not the best quality :P
Do you have a link for your magnet supplier?
I have a question? Three tables wouldn’t make it top heavy would it? How’s you enclosure doing?
Hey! It is slightly top heavy while the printer is stored in it but it doesn’t shake or wobble to much. Mine are doing fine! It really is the build that puts stress on them but after they are assembled they are good to go
When we put IKEA tall cup oard up, we screw the to the wall with small angle brackets.
Why not with this?
FYI you can adjust the torque in you drill. Thank for the video.
Hey Carlos, I tried adjusting that but it was never in the sweet spot for me. It was either to much or to little. Thank you for watching :)!
I have a cr10s pro. Will this degrade the electronics?
Did you use two or three tables? I just purchased two but I feel like I’d like it a little bit taller. I might get a 3rd table and shorten the legs slightly.
I used three and it’s perfect, if you only have two I recommend getting a third, or using some 2 by 4 to make it a little taller
"Everyone else is on metric system you mentioned". Kid a funny that when it is comes to pipes we use Inch system :) ( Europe)
NO WAY!
It's not just us Americans who have not evolved. We along with the other two world powers, Liberia and Myanmar (I can't call it Burma) still cling to the old system. In our defense, even our cousins across the pond still use miles per hour instead of kilometers per hour speed limits.
Is that a 4000K LED strip?
Hey George - realise this video is a little old, but was wondering where you got your multi-spool holder in this video? Home made or...?
Also missing your videos lately!
Cheers from Australia,
D.
I have been working on a home made version but I have not finished it yet. The MMU2 has some unique issues that I’m hoping will be fixed with the new S version that I am getting shipped to me.
I really appreciate the comment, and I hope you are ready for a long winded reply. Basically I caught myself feeling like this was turning into more of a job than a hobby. When I started making videos I was doing it because it was fun and I was having a blast! Then I got the “I need to get subscribers” bug and I was chasing them and creating videos for that purpose.
I took a break and that break turned into a vacation and that vacation turned into procrastination and that pushed right into me moving so now I don’t have any of my filming or printer equipment.
I am working on bettering my modeling skills because ultimately George’s Gadgets was supposed to be an outlet for me to design and make cool things not just review and regurgitate content. I want to inspire people to try to build and make and test things, so when I do come back (in about a month or two because I’m moving overseas) that will be my focus.
Miss you guys too!

Hey mate - I meant the thing on your window sill holding your opened spools - white and looks like it’s made of wood?
Sorry to hear about your procrastination problems - I know the feeling well myself - keep up the good work and the subs will happen on their own!
Cheers,,

Oh! That’s a wire set from Harbor Freight it’s just different gauge wires
And thanks bud
I love the look of that spool holder! Where did you find it? Great video, btw.
Hi sorry for my english i m french..nice job !!! Where you find the white angles. ? Please
Hello Jerome! You English is perfect :)
If you are talking about the ones I used to connect the tables I got them off amazon
Can you give me a time stamp in the video to see what you are talking about?
@@GeorgesGadgets 😂yes at 7 : 02
There you go buddy

I feel like your videos are always better then your thumbnails
Hey cubed, thank you! What do you think I could do to make the thumbnail better?
I know I’m not him but you could put a filter to make things stand out a bit more Iike making the colors more vibrant
some of your thumbnails are good, but this on in particular wan't as good as it could be. I'm not the best guy to give you advice, (all my thumbnails are macro photography) but you could spend a little more time in photoshop with titles and etcetera and finding a good angle beforehand.
You can look up a tutorial or something, it doesn't really matter. My point was you could be getting more views judged by the quality of your content, but your titles and thumbnails don't draw people in as much as they could.
I love the feedback Allen, thank you :D
Thank you so much Cubed, I will take a look at some tutorials and try to improve :)
For attaching the bottom table, why not redesign the corner pieces for the enclosure part without the plexi holders and use the truncated cone meshing method. That would even the look out and make it a little bit modular (and give a couple more vertical inches in the bottom storage area. Better yet, if you have the money for an extra set of plexi, leave the corner pieces as designed and have an enclosed storage area under the printer.
Great idea Chris! I just wanted to use the metal brackets, just my own preference. But I like your style :D I’ll try that in the future
@@GeorgesGadgets Expanding on what I said, I was first just thinking of using the plastic pieces between the bottom of the feet and the top of the lower table. But after watching your installation video where you pointed out that the pre-drilled hole in the leg is used to attach the leg-bottom plastic piece I realize that the leg-top plastic pieces are also necessary.
If you want to get even crazier (and will probably start having to mount the contraption to the wall) also add an enclosure area to the top. Use silicon to seal the plexi to the underside of the table and to the legs. Use some sort of weatherstripping on the bottom edge of the plexi and on the doors. Then put a rechargeable desiccant pack inside with the filaments (multiple rolls for MMX builds) to use as a dry box to print out of.
would this work for ender 3 ?
You have to get longer acrylic and taller stands at the bottom.
"I'll be moving again in 6 months". So the "Camera Woman" didn't like the comment about her forgetting to press record? :)
Hahahahahaha! Uhhh mayyyybe
Will they send you the new parts of do you have to print them
You have to print them, BUT if you have a prusa already you should be good to print with the petg I linked and default settingns
Okay thanks, I'm interested in doing this so my i can organize my things better
totally worth it!

Do you have calipers?
I do but I just like to have the ruler laid out instead of having to adjust the calipers every time I need a quick measurement.
But calipers are perfect for basically everything else :)
What if you had PEI beds that had ruler marks on them?
You could call them
“George Boards”
Oh my god.....that is a great idea rofl!
How long did the plexiglass take to come just ordered it yesterday
Took just a couple of days for mine :)
Excited for you Allen, I hope you have fun
Thing is did you use priority or the other one
I think I picked standard, but I live pretty close to those guys
Got the plexiglass
Awwww hell’s yeah Allen! You gonna finish the build tonight?
Should have used all pan heads, the holes aren't counter sunk
You put the screw in screw driver.
Thanks DAD!
I defy the metric system. haha
Noooooooo!!!
frank advice, in the future, please show the actual product itself more than yourself. thanks for the video though.
I thought Prussia went extinct
Thumbs way down.
Why? I wana know so I can improve :)
@@GeorgesGadgets I truly believe you are beyond help. Sorry.
It's all good nerd sanctuary, if you ever find the words let me know. I forgive you.
