Ikea Lack Enclosure

Basics

• This is a version of a 3D Printer Enclosure that uses Ikea Lack tables as the main framing element
• Various designs use different 3D Printed brackets, and are set up for different filament storage workflows
• This page aims to document existing Open Source Designs, Derive the best setup, and make a BOM (also maybe document User: Eric 's Build Progress)

Existing Open Source Designs

Table Connection Only

• A Design Posted to the website Printables by "815 Design" Titled "Ikea Lack Table Storage Shelves"

Table Reinforcement

• Due to Ikea Lack tables being made from low grade Engineered Wood Products to reduce weight and cost, they aren't very rigid
  • This is compounded by the sole connection being dual sided bolts in a drilled but not tapped hole
• Thus Reinforcements and Alternative Joinery can be of use
• Designs:

  • A Design Posted to the website Printables by "JADV" Titled "IKEA LACK reinforcement"

Filament Guides/Ports + FDM Filament Drybox Mounting

• A Design Posted to the website Printables by "AcE Krystal" Titled "Improved MMU Filament Guide for LACK IKEA table"
  • The MMU is notoriously finicky, so other systems (or just normal single filament printing) shouldn't need this, but regardless having a slit rather than a fixed hole does seem to make sense due to the x axis travel moving that vertical line where the filament should optimally be
• If using an upper level for FDM Filament Storage a hole and filament guide will be needed

Window/Door Assembly

• A Design Posted to the website Printables by "Mordiev" Titled "Double Stack IKEA LACK Enclosure V2 (works w/ MMU2s)"
• A Design Posted to the website Printables by "Dominik Císař" Titled "Original Prusa i3 MK3 ENCLOSURE -Ikea Lack table - Prusa Research"
  • This is the ORIGINAL Design all others are forked from/based on
• A Design Posted to the website Printables by "Inglord" Titled "Prusa i3 MK3 Corner ENCLOSURE - Ikea LACK table"
  • Novel in that lays the printer across the diagonal, making more efficient use of the internal volume of the table in theory (also would make for a very aesthetically appealing print farm! )

Misc

Table Legs

• A Design Posted to the website Printables by "Strankler" Titled "IKEA-LACK adjustable foot"
  • Allows for Leveling the Enclosure (Although as per the Upside Down Printing Positon (FDM 3D Printer) , and [that video by Maker's Muse with a printer working hanging from a Ratchet Strap ] most modern printers are quite resilient in regards to issues like this
