Ender 3 - 3d printed Frame

thingiverse

Introduction ========= This is my first ever 3d build I only recently started 3d printing and found it fascinating, but my other half can't stand the noise it generates. I then decided to put a case together, so I took to tinkercad and started modeling out the frame that I was going to use. (it had to be pretty sturdy as I have a 2-year-old who likes to touch things...) Information ========= I've not printed this yet, it is just an early prototype, it will need to be printed 4 times in order to have enough corners & be high enough to be taller than the Ender 3. you can use this with the Lack table from Ikea and still have enough clearance for your printer inside. Instructions ==================== It's about 480mm tall, (10mm above the height of the Ender3 if you need more clearance re-print either of the two middle connecting blocks (on the left of the stl, they have connecting joints on top and bottom) the space between the walls is 3mm thick so any 3mm plexiglass or acrylic would fit between it. you can probably put some sort of foam lining inside them to reduce any noise escaping out... the top piece is to be screwed down on all 4 corners using the 3d printed screws, the screws are 7 x 7 x 15 so if you drill a hole on the plexi/acrylic then you will probably want 7.5 or 8mm.
