TS Acrylic DIY Kit - Prusa i3 MK2/MK3 Enclosure (also fits with MMU2S)

TS Acrylic DIY Kit - Prusa i3 MK2/MK3 Enclosure (also fits with MMU2S)

This enclosure was primarily designed for use with Prusa i3 MK3 / MK3s, but Prusa i3 MK2 as well as other Prusa style 3D printers also fit great. Please, check your printer dimensions and internal dimensions of our enclosure below before making your purchase.

Why should you want to have an Enclosure for your 3D printer?

• significant reduction in fumes and unpleasant smells
• controlled ambient temperature improves reliability and consistency of your 3D printing
• additional noise reduction
• dust protection for your printer and improved 3D printing safety

What is the difference between TS Acrylic and TS Acrylic DIY Kit?

TS Acrylic DIY Kit is a version based on our popular line of TS Acrylic enclosures. It differs from the standard TS Acrylic Enclosure in that it is not an all in box kit and some participation is expected on the buyer's side. DIY Kit contains the same high quality lasercut 4 mm acrylic panels, which is the most important thing. We also included all the nuts, bolts and door magnets to make sure you don't have to search for all those specific sizes and types in shops. However, you will need to print all plastic couplings, door hinges and optional vent covers on your own 3D printer. To give some work to your 3D printer could be fun and it will save some money too:-)

It is recommended to print all the plastic parts from PETG, but the final decission is yours, of couse. All these parts are available for free to download as STL and STEP files. So all you will need to successfully complete this project are some basic tools for tightening bolts and nuts, your own 3D printer ready for printing and a bit of the PETG filament in the color of your choice :-) Detailed assembly instruction guide in pdf format can be download here.

TIP: Are you thinking of a suitable filament holder for your enclosure? You can get inspired or download plus print the one of your preference from thingiverse.com.

TIP: If you prefer a complete product that you will be able to assemble within 40 minutes and that already includes all parts (PETG ones too), bearing based acrylic filament holder, injection molded hinges, clear 2 mm acrylic ventilation covers, tools and printed assembly instructions, then we recommend to go for a TS Acrylic.

Recommended print settings:

filament type: PETG
layer height: 0,20 mm
infill: 30%
supports: no

Estimated printing time / material consumption for the core parts: 11h 15m / 99 g
Estimated printing time / material consumption for the optional parts: 2h 3m / 33 g

All the parts for 3D printing can be downloaded here.
