Description

Premise, this project was done following many request recived after publication of my model for A1 Mini.
personaly I dot have the A1 printer, so I recived the information needed with the collaboartion of another user that asked me to prepare this project.
Like I said for the A1 mini projevct, I know that the A1is not created to work in an enclosure etc, but Ithe goal of this enclosure is strictly estetical and finalized to protect from dust etc so, when whne the printer works I suggest to keep the door and the roof open.

Respect to the A1 mini project, this structure is project to be a littel more easier to assembly also if more big.
The mounting of chassis is easy, all are interlocking peaces and their fixing is renforced by glue, below what I used:

 

 

Insert the joint pieces (in red in the picture) into the appropriate seats (circled in red) like in the picture below.

 

repeat for all connection, (one joining piece to connect two pieces of structure).
all joining pieces shoulb be ready with just one print (if i did not wrong the calculation ;-) ).

 

the finisched structure shoul be like below

 

Index of bambu studio plates:

  • plate 1: rear left corner (3 pieces)
  • plate 2: front left corner (3 pieces)
  • plate 3: rear right corner (3 pieces)
  • plate 4: front right corner (3 pieces)
  • plate 5: door hinges + low central crosspieces (6 pieces)
  • plate 6: high front crosspiece (3 pieces)
  • plate 7: high rear crosspiece (3 pieces)
  • plate 8: high left crosspiece (3 pieces)
  • plate 9: high right crosspiece (3 pieces)
  • plate 10: handle bicolor (AMS needed - 1 piece)
  • plate 11: high front crosspiece (32 pieces)

For the panneling, I used the 3mm DiBond material below an example photo,

 

I cut it of the measures needed, I suggest that when you glued all pieces of chassis, you take the measure alone to cover better the detail, below a picture of all cover needed.

 

 

for who want an approximately measures of the panels, it is here below:

 

  • left and right panels: 600x568 mm
  • rear and front panel: 600x518 mm

while for the roof and the door I use a policarbonato always of 3 mm also it cutted after the chassis is glued, to have more detailed measure.

 

 

for who want an approximately measures of the panels, it is here below:

  • roof: 610x560 mm
  • door: 510x478 mm

     

in the end for the door hinges I used a Pin like in the photo belw (usually used for shelves) diameter 5 mm and for the handle a magnet of 10 mm diameter.

 

 

I hope that also this project should be appreciated like the previous one for A1 Mini.

Still in progress but looks awesome! Combining with A1 4010 ventilation for longevity

You can see defects on back right column from too fast printing. Otherwise perfect

Thanks for your great design. I am printing an enclosure for the A1 and ams lite 1000mm x 850mm x 850mm. I beg your help putting up a support in the middle? To have 2 doors in the front. Can it be a 400mm door on the left for the printer, and a 400mm door on the right for the ams lite. Thanks for reading my request.

just curious if there is space for the heatbead to move freely along with the heatbead cable on the back. also if I am able to print one more middle section to increase its height for having the AMS lite on the top. thanks

at 600mm it should be enough. I've measured it to pun inside a cabinet.

Hello I am very interesting in a version that can contain AMS lite top mounted. Have you the final view of the setup ? Is it easy to change wire on AMS ? Could you share the file ?

Hello, apologies for the interruption, this is unrelated to this project, but I saw your AMS LITE assembly system and I'm very interested, could you share the project with me? Thank you

Will the lid still fit when the AMS is mounted on top?

I'm really sorry about that, it's the first time that i received this notification. in my personal experience I did not founf this trouble. did you try to verify wher the square was lost? I mean for example to use a square with a ruler and check if the problem start from the corner or the problem born on the junction points. the issue could be born also on the gluing phase.

well i have followed your lay out to a T and when putting all parts together (even moving some parts around) it still isnt square no matter what order you put the parts in. can you post pictures of your finished model as i see that this was made from the A1 mini build.

Hi, how I made the premise on the description of the project, this was done following many request recived after publication of my model for A1 Mini. personaly I don't have the A1 printer, so I recived the information needed with the collaboartion of others user that asked me to prepare this project and that than printe this project. Personaly I don't have a fully project that I'm using, I can ask to these users I they what share to me their prints and if I can publish them, if I will recive the photo and the permit I will do it. Any way I have some parts tat I printed to make some test before to share the project, one of this is the corner and on that I made the check that I asked to you, verify if it is on square. my part seams perfect. here the foto of the check. please let me know if also your have the same result. Thanks

So I printed this thing and things seemed to fit properly. I didn’t feel like the instructions for how to put on the acrylic door was super clear. like how much of it is supposed to be on the frame? if it’s supposed to look like the P1S door, then shouldn’t the top and bottom also have small divets? Other than that, I installed 4 fans because I’m paranoid of frying the motherboard. Everything works great but you have to keep the door open when you print since the bed needs that extra space.

Hi, sorry i did not understand the question about the door?

It is recommended to modify the dowel dimensions and arrangement The dowels of the column should be placed horizontally instead of vertically, vertical printing will result in excessively small interlayer contact areas, making them extremely prone to breakage during installation (Figures 1, 3) The dowel dimensions do not allow for assembly clearance, and using force to insert the dowels into the beam can easily cause the beam to fracture (Figure 2) Otherwise the design is excellent, preparing to reprint some beams and reduce the dowel volume

After printing the beams and pins lying flat, the problem of the pins and beams breaking under stress was effectively resolved
