Open Source 3D Printer Enclosure

Basics

• The Heated (But not the Open Source High Temperature 3D Printer Enclosure) 3D Printer Enclosure the D3D printers and multimachines use
• Is heated, stackablde, and has fume removal/filtering

Used For

• Printing of Higher Temperature Filaments Like ABS, Nylon, and PC (Plastic)
• Stacking 3D Printers/Multimachines to Expand Print Farms vertically
• The D3D Print Farm
• The Microfactory

Existing Open Source Designs

• [[1]]

Basic Design

• Made of Metal (Probably Aluminium) Extrusions, Sheet Metal (Aluminium or Stainless Steel), and either Clear Plastic, or Glass Sides
• Has An Active Air Heater (possibly hydronic electric hybrid?) with Arduino Based Temperature Control Tied to the Software Used
• Has Optional Fume Extraction with Optional Filtration for Certain Filaments that Produce Fumes, or use for chemistry as a lab bot
• Has Hinges on as many sides as wanted
• Insulation? (Possibly Double Sides with an Air Gap and Insulation Foam etc under the bottom sheet metal with another sheet below it possibly
• Possible mounting points to make stacks secure
• Fire Extinguishing?
• Power Ports (A Surge Protector Bar Perhaps?
• External Screen and Data Ports (And possibly computing/power componets) (?)
• Optional Water Cooling of Internal Componets (Open Source Water Cooled FDM 3D Printer Extruder etc)
