Lulzbot Mini Enclosure by Printed Solid enhancements

thingiverse

These parts are enhancements to the Lulzbot Mini Enclosure made by Printed Solid. The parts reduce the size of the openings in the top and right side of the enclosure thus trapping in more heat. This improves the print quality of ABS parts by reducing the possibility of part splits and warping. The top left and right cover can be used as is to reduce the size of the opening around the filament. Alternatively, if you would like these parts to plug into each other, you can insert 3 short pieces of filament into the supplied holes. This makes it easy to remove this part when loading a new spool on the printer. The right side cover and cover latch are glued together to form the finished part. It will snap into the opening under the filament hold bracket closing off most of the hole. This can be printed diagonally on the mini print bed. The right side cover hold bracket can be used to hold the lower part of the left and right side enclosures in place. It's a bit more elegant than the nut and washer provided in the kit. 4 cover hold brackets are required, 2 for each side. Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: Mini Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: I used 0.18mm layer thickness Infill: optional Notes: I found that the Lulzbot Mini Enclosure by Printed Solid is a terrific improvement when printing with ABS. I am using it in my cold 58 degree F basement and now the temperature inside the box gets up to around 90 degrees F. All my ABS split and warp problems have gone away! I used ABS for these parts so that I could use acetone to glue the parts together. It also works very well for the latch that requires some flexing to latch into place. Choose a color to suit your preference. Note that an enclosure is a nice improvement when printing with ABS. Other materials such as PLA may do better without an enclosure. These parts were designed using Autodesk Fusion 360.
