Description

Hi, this is project i was working on for about a month.

This is my attempt on enclosure for a1 or a1mini.

I based this enclosure on modules, that you can easily join together and decide, what is your enclosure size should be.

A1? no problem,

a1 mini, no problem

AMS? Just make it wider

you want to store your filament above in separate compartment? Here you go, just route ptfe tubes to second compartment above 3d printer.

You have a lot of possibilities here, just measure size and print elements, connect them with pins, and if you are sure size is correct, you can glue them with silicone to ensure no air leakage.

Added some mods for this,

silica gel holder, based on popular silica gel container and modified cap to insert to full elements from inside

80mm fan holder, to extract hot air from inside

At last you can finish your build as i did, with some plexi glass 2mm in my case it was 50x40, 40x40x2 and 30x40, with parametric hinge and lock mechanism of your choice

With 80mm fan going at 40% temp inside stabilizes at around 31.5 degrees

16.02.2025 - added documentation, will update mod parts soon

Construction started, going to use a different color each time a roll runs out so going to be colorful.

@Savadrox

wow, big project incoming, do you know how much space you need for a1 from back to front?

Replying to @Savadrox :

The marble slab I have it on is 25 x 18 inches it's quite a bit of extra space from back to front than it needs, so I can either make it tiny bit bigger than that to surround it, or tiny bit smaller to try to sit on it. Will figure out which makes sense as I get parts of it printed. But sitting on it probably won't work well for the width, I think that at 18 inches the width would just barely fit, or be a bit too small. Probably just going to end up resizing some pieces to get it a good size bigger than the marble, but not too much bigger.

Bottom layer coming along.

awesome print. any chance the Half pieces could be modified to a square ? I'm a super newbie and plan on building this enclosure like a brick wall

The designer has replied

@Savadrox

i am also refining this enclosure, with ability to reuse parts from this project, that will allow building it as brick wall, but first i have to fix my printer and print on my own to verify if it will actually improve. My current goal is to reduce the amount of filament and maximize size of windows, plus make hinge screw in to enclosure elements

Replying to @Savadrox :

Any suggestions on which part(s) I might want to avoid print all of them because you might have better ones soon? I'm assuming for hinge screws, I should leave a bunch of the big corner pieces unprinted because the hinge will be part of those parts?

@Savadrox

Replying to @radf_printing :

i will not change those corner pieces, i am thinking about 5x10cm element with holes for computer fan screws, so you can screw hinges to this piece, and glue or nano tape to plexi, but im waiting for new plexi to come so i can make some tests, but i think that nano tape is better for mounting plexi, it does not require drilling for any screws and does not leave any imperfections if you want to detach parts

Do you happen to know what I may need to tweak for the overhang holes that I use supports with to not have tears in the walls near them? The ones that are on the top and bottom sides of course always come out fine. But the side ones that I used supports -- tried both tree and normal, always get cracks. Since that part is hidden when it's put together it doesn't matter much, but been trying to tweak it to get it to go away. Different wall order settings didn't help either.

The designer has replied

@Savadrox

i am not using any supports, it is very little overhang for each layer, and fan should have enough cooling capacity to cool it correctly. I would say that, if you can print benchy, you should be able to print this. You can also try 0.28 layer height

more boost

The designer has replied

@Savadrox

wow man thanks for boosts, keep following, cause im still trying to figure out better usability for this case

Replying to @Savadrox :

will do I haven't tried printing this yet because I have first layer issues trying to resolve, Bambu sent me a part that I hope fixes it when it comes. Will end up trying when my printer is behaving better.

@user_2674318589

can this be adaoted to the A1 with AMS top mount kit?

The designer has replied

@Savadrox

i dont have ams personally, so it is impossible for me to design if i cannot test, but there are a lot of holes on top of the case, you can copy mounting as in spool holder and design adapter yourself

@Savadrox

omg I just read your comment with and understood, yes, you just have to print more corner pieces to make enclosure taller

@radf_printing

Boosted

What's the new piece for, to cover the parts with big holes when not being used?

The designer has replied

@Savadrox

someone asked for 5x5cm piece, to allow building enclosure like wall of bricks

@radf_printing

Boosted

because!

Do you think 3mm plexiglass will work fine without having to edit the model? Can you share the hinge and how you attached it too, for me don't feel like that part is worth the effort customizing as long as it works?

The designer has replied

@Savadrox

there is 3mm space for plexi, 1,2,3mm plexi will work, but you have to somehow seal it with something thin. Hinge i used is from that model: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1033199?from=search#profileId-1039023, with options: AssemblyOption/EnableFasteners -> No HingeParameters/Width -> 50 Height -> 30

@Bongo123

Any chance you can make a modified version for the A1 that accounts for cooling the motherboard with a fan?

The designer has replied

@Savadrox

for my a1 mini i added 40mm noctua fan, but i cant find something similar for a1 regular, you can always just add fan from different project, and pass through cable to the outside
