			DIY 3D Printer Case ~ An Easy Enclosure to Improve 3D Printing Quality
Here's my easy solution when you have to run a 3D printer in a space that isn't temperature controlled. It's fairly easy to keep a 3D Printer away from drafts or major temperature shifts, but outside in an unheated shop during the winter brings the challenge of maintaining temperature around the print bed to the foreground very quickly.
I think this 3D Printer Enclosure turned out extremely well and I couldn't be more satisfied. Let me know what you think about this enclosure in the comments.
An FDM printer like the one used in this video basically works like a hot glue gun attached to a gantry that slides back and forth with a build platform that moves up and down. This combination of movements allows a very thin bead of melted plastic to be laid down with each pass. This plastic is built up into layers until a 3D Printed part emerges. Large temperature shifts effect the amount of shrinkage that occurs in the plastic during the printing process and excessive shrinkage can cause poor print quality or cause print to detach from the build plate resulting in a completely failed print.
I use a Makergear M3 single extruder printer, I've had it for a few months now and I'm very satisfied. There's a few quirky user interface aspects but it's built like a tank and prints very well.
