Non-enclosure enclosure???

I don't really care about having an enclosure since I currently print exclusively with PLA and will probably never get into ABS printing. However, I'm looking for a good table or desk that will be a convenient place to put my MK3. Right now I have it setup on a coffee table with my tools next to it, but of course I will need to find an alternative soon. Does anyone have recommendations for a sturdy but cheap setup?

I've seen posts from people using 2nd hand server racks. A stereo rack could be adapted (with more space out back). You really just need a sturdy surface that won't vibrate and make noise. Hit the ol' 2nd hand furniture store with your tape measure and measurements in hand.

If all else fails, there's always the countertop in the kitchen.

Keep in mind that enclosures aren't just about fumes. They also help with noise and controlling the ambient temp and drafts.

Not trying to get you to change your current plans, but you might want to look at current solutions with an eye to the future where you might want an enclosure.
