Since the block of wood is too tick for the length of the screws, I drilled first a larger hole, 3/4 of the thickness deep, to let the head of the screw sit in the bottom. Now glue the sheet of paper to the block of wood and drill the holes. You can easily find a PSU holder on thingiverse, but if you want to use my method, here is a trick I used to transfer the hole locations of the PSU attachment screws onto the block of wood.

Instead I used a simple block of wood of 13.5 cm x 23 cm x 2.7 cm dimensions. To attach the PSU to the left panel of the enclosure I didn’t use any 3D printed bracket. I routed the wires outside using the little hole in the corner of the left plexi panel drilled previously. In this way I had enough cable to put the PSU outside of the enclosure. To avoid adding extra wires to the PSU connections, I moved it from the right side to the left side. Also, with the PSU outside, it will be easier to reach the power button. The PSU doesn’t like high temperatures, so it is better to move it outside the enclosure. You need also to unmount the PSU and the control panel, because these parts will be moved outside the enclosure. But before starting it is better to remove all the plexi panels and the front door to have enough room to work.

Installing the printer inside the enclosureĪt this point we are ready to install the printer inside the enclosure. Attach the printed paper on the panel and follow the lines to make the cuts and the holes.

Here are two PDF documents you can print on A4 sheet (print them with actual size without any rescaling) with the shape of the holes to make on the plexi panel.

You need to make some holes on the left side panel: one small hole for the PSU wires and a series of holes and cuts for the air vents. Here is the cut list for the plexi panels: Name Pre drill some holes on the plexi panels and add a countersink, then clamp the panels to the frame, pre drill holes on the MDF, finally insert the screws. The screws allows for an easy panel removal when you need to access the internal of the enclosure. Then the panels are attached with 4mm diam x 25mm length wood screws. Before attaching the panels to the frame, you need to apply a strip of window foam insulation 15 mm width to the MDF frame to guarantee air tightness.

The plexiglas panels for the sides and top are designed to be air tight and removable. I dimensioned the enclosure to allow enough operational space to the printer and to fit into the corner of a table in my shop where I’ve already installed a fume extraction system. There is a Fusion 360 source file for everything, so you can adapt every object dimensions to your needs.
