3D Printer cabinet

After acquiring an FDM 3D printer, I wanted to be able to do prototyping in other plastic types than just PLA.

The result was this cabinet, which both retains heat and gently exhausts the harmful fumes without cooling too much in the same process causing potential warpage.

The table is decoupled from the floor with rubber feet. The tabletop is decoupled from the frame with rubber foam strips and O-rings. The cabinet itself rests on O-rings.

Table sides are made of 21 mm birch plywood. Plates, as well as the cabinet, are made of MDF in various dimensions.

Cabinet sides are made of 3 mm clear acrylic with chamfered edges. The acrylic plates are held in place by neodymium magnets, which are also glued into 3D printed corner brackets.

Fume extraction is done by a small 24V DC fan + flexible hose.

Prepared for lighting with recesses adapted for standard LED strips.

Own design and CNC manufacturing."
