--- THIS WILL IMPROVE YOUR 3D PRINTING QUALITY! ---

*** Upon multiple requests I'm sharing this 3D printing enclosure files. Enclosure is made of Aluminium extrusions profiles, acrylic glass and wood sheet panels covered in carbon fiber decal. In addition there is option to install smart electronics and filters. Enclosure such as this can be modified in size, extended, grouped or upgraded/customized. ***

Enclosure has 2 sections:
- Filament room / Filament server: The upper deck is designed to safely store and serve more than 8 rolls of filament at once. Filament is driven through sponge dust filters to printing area.
- Printing room: This compartment will fit MK2 or MK3 printer by default, but can be enlarged for larger printers aswell.

***SOFTWARE UPDATE 2019***
- Fire detection algorithms
- Dynamic LED options
- Door sense function
- Improved FAN precision RPM reading
- Brightness of LED and LCD selectable
- Other optimization and bugfixes

Electronics: While you can use only enclosure on it's own, it's fun to fit some electronics into it. I recommend installing a 230V switch with fuse, Octoprint server with RPi and web-camera, HEPA/Carbon filter, additional sensors and microcontroller (Temperature/Humidity, LCD display, encoder selector, PWM driven filter fan, LEDs etc. etc.).

Because some of my previous designs got stolen and commercialised and this project took a tons of time I've decided to share only 3D designed parts and some enclosure…
