Awaiting Approval
Proposer:
Ben Everard
Description:
Enclosures for the two Prusa MK3S printers. it's a bit chilly in the HackSpace and this can make printing even in PLA a bit iffy on cold days. Prints are warping and falling apart mid-print. An enclosure should generally make printing more reliable and less stressful.
I've knocked up a simple cardboard enclosure for one printer, but this won't last for long. I'd like to build a double enclosure out of clear acrylic, broadly based on this design, but it'll have two separate chambers for two printers. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2124813
Proposed Purchase:
Acrylic sheet from
5X 60cmx40cm for sides, middle and two doors - £25.2 1x 120cmx40cm for back - £16.80 1x 120cmx60cm for top - £25.20
delivery - £7.99
Additional parts will be 3D printed, so don't need budget for these
Proposed Installation:
Built and installed by Ben. It will take up the table that the two printers are currently on. This will also make a storage area ontop of the printers – I'm proposing putting a dry box for filament storage on there, but I don't think this will need additional budget.
Budget:
£75.19 (see above)
