Interesting - I did the dual Z-Mod from th3d  and can say the same. Big improvement

To be honest - never seen that one. Now I can’t undo seeing it and HAVE to do it. This is the one I did

Been there, done that. Ender V2 enclosed in all cardboard - Great look - NOT. Efficient in printing ABS - yes. Visual progress ability - NIL unless you have a camera mounted inside with night vision. Good luck!!

Well, I did a box over the Mini. I crammed a small desk light in it and a ghetto webcam rig of calibration cubes and tape. Good enough that I could see what it was doing in Octoprint. I think the light acted as active chamber heating.

I just hope I can find a cardboard box big enough to fit over my big-ass Trident.

I used corrugated plastic to make a semi permanent enclosure and worked out great . Around here a 4' by 8' sheet goes for 15$

I'll have to look into that, thanks !

[mbunjes]

I think the easiest and cheapest will be to just make a box out of plywood. Could even make a perspex window in it.

This looks like a good idea :

For you? 6 rosaries, slowly...  or about 13 gbp

Some serious wiring going on :

Here's proof you shouldn't cook when you're building a printer.

[smirk]

@mbunjes You'll start a nasty trend of grumpy old men showing various body parts and injuries acquired in the line of printing. I am marvelling at your bandaging skills (is it pipe lagging you've used). It'll definitely make the build more challenging, it reminds me of a game we used to play as children involving eating a mars bar (with a knife an fork) whilst donning ever greater numbers of clothes and gloves.

[mbunjes]

Me grumpy ? Anyway, this injury wasn't sustained in the line of printing but in the line of cooking trying to cut asparagus while my thumb was still under the sharp part of a very large knife. That'll teach me.

Who eats mars bars with a knife and fork ? Are you related to the royal family ?

[claudermilk]

You forgot this rule! Keep the soft bleedy bits away from the sharp stabby bits.

[mbunjes]

Ok, back to business ; some more wiring :

[mvdveer]

Looking Good

[smirk]

Definitely looking good, but I think I sitll prefer the transparent wires that your originally had

[mbunjes]

It turned out too hard to see the difference between live and ground.

[mbunjes]

And because I refuse to pay 10 euro's for a cover that costs 0.43 eurocent I printed my own.
