Enclosure for Anycubic I3 Mega

thingiverse

This is an enclosure for Anycubic I3 Mega 3D printer. It is based on "Square Tube Connectors / Joints + Plexiglass support" that you can find here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2927377. I added here also two support, a and b, that help to place the enclosure over the printer. This is a work in progress and I have not yet tested how it works. I'll be back with update soon. I also plan to add a fan to force the air through a filter.

Note 1: you can download it from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2927377 UPDATES: 1) 27/May/2018 a - I updated the measures increasing the X dimension of the box of 2mm to best fit the printer. b - I made a first test printing PLA and I had a bad surprise. The feeder motor get too hot and sometimes melt the filament :-( I need to find a fix. 1) 28/Jun/2018 I think I fixed the issue of melting filament adding a fan to the extruder motor.
