Ender 5 Enclosure on an IKEA Alex base

thingiverse

A simple to build wood and Perspex 3D printer enclosure built onto an IKEA "Alex" drawer unit. Full build details and other 3D Printer Project on my web site here (still a work in progress) http://www.brettoliver.org.uk/3D_Printer_Projects/3D_Printer_Projects.htm Designed to house my Ender 5 Pro and all my modifications it can be used for any printer of a similar size. The IKEA "Alex" base has 6 deep drawers with plenty of space for printer filament storage etc. It aslo has large castors that make it very easy to move around for access. I have kept the enclosure very simply and can be built with a few hand tools if power tools are not available. The joints are very basic and are fixed by glue and screws. The enclosure is glazed in Perspex sheet that is easy to buy custom cut and in different thickneses online. Again to keep the build simple I have used a framless door design. My printer stands against an outside wall so I have vented it out the back using a 4" bathroom extractor fan. The Enclosure helps keep fumes out of the room and also keeps printing sounds(mainly fan noise) to a much lower level.
