It’s yet another IKEA 3D printer enclosure, but with custom electronics on it! There’s an OctoPrint plugin I wrote, that communicates with an Arduino I programmed, which sends and receives signals of all sorts, so the whole setup is less boring!

I also have a script that automatically runs every few minutes and takes a picture of the printer. This image updates regularly.

Feature List

• LED strips!
• Motorized “air filter”
• Limit switch to detect the front panel
• Thermometer to measure air temperature
• LCD display that shows:
  • Printer status
  • Print progress as a percentage
  • Air temperature

Why?

The Monoprice Maker Select i3 v1 has no enclosure. So, this is how I used to print ABS.

This is obviously a non-ideal setup.

My mom also wanted to get rid of a pair of LACK corner tables, so I decided to hop on the LACK Enclosure train and build my own!
