This customizable DIY kit consists of various printable joints and other common parts to make a relatively inexpensive printer (or other device) enclosure of almost any dimensions, using 1/2 inch US standard SCH 40 PVC pipe as its main frame members. These parts were based on my generic US 1/2 inch PVC connectors kit at: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4851014. Unfortunately, I do not have time and have no intention of modifying this design for European or other PVC pipe sizes.

The joints include two design options for its walls, and these can be mixed for some plexiglass walls and others of wood:

1) .1 inch retainer slots for .093 PLGA clear plastic panels, available at most US big box home improvement stores. Compatible Home Depot Plexiglass Panels:

2) .125 inch wood cabinet paneling, generally only the back due to lighting limits of using wood panels for sides, but parts are provided for .125in other walls as well, if you are willing to sacrifice lighting or plan to install interior lights.…
