Summary

I wanted to strengthen my ABS prints, so decided to make an acrylic case.

Instructions

I attached the roof lifters with foam mounting tape. The sides and lid are mounted with velcro. The door is fuzzy-on-fuzzy velcro with 3 short pieces of hook-side velcro strategically placed so it stays shut when I close it. The lid piece is plywood from a cannibalized desk, and I'm powering the SD3 with an old computer psu. The hinges are glued onto the door and side acrylic sheets with a 2-part epoxy. Make sure to glue with hinge pins (long thin nails) in place. I wrap a bit of microfiber cloth around the filament and stuff it into the filament cleaner, which pops into a hole I drilled in the back plate, so dust is wiped off the filament before it goes into the extruder.
