How to Build a Cheap and Easy 3D Printer Enclosure

5 months ago

Since the old Mainboard(GT2560) had died, we decided it was time for an upgrade on our old 3D Printer. We DIY a 3D printer enclosure for our Geeetech I3 (Prusa I3 clone).aswell as new components for the printer itself. A new BigTreeTech mainboard is installed and Klipper firmware is used in combination with a Banana Pi M2 zero.

The box is made of scrap wood. This enclosure is needed to be able to print materials like ABS and ASA.

Most of the electronics are brought outside of the heatchamber and mounted to the side of the enclosure. The Printer is screwed down in place, this helps with frame rigidity.

This simple enclosure will fit most small bedslinger-type printer such as: Anet A8, Geeetech I3, Original Prusa I3, Ender 3, etc.
