I should have built this thing from the word go. I ran this printer for almost a year on my desk right next to my computer. But it was loud and smelly and the high traffic area played havoc on print quality and caused a lot of warping.
Now that it’s tucked away in a back room suspended in a corner by French cleats and sitting directly on top of dense foam and a big ass paver it is merely “audible” but certainly ignorable. There’s also no more headaches from the smell, and my print quality has never been better.
Do yourself and your printer a favor and get an enclosure sorted out asap.
@Marafon This is like perfect timing! I was just considering getting an enclosure for my printer. I considered already enclosed Core XY printers but they are freaking noisy. Are you printing PLA?
PLA and PETG. I would like to get into printing ABS but I want to rig it up to exhaust outside first.
