MMU2S enclosure for regular i3 MK3S
Good morning!
Sorry if this question sounds weird. 😉Â
I'm planning to buy my first 3D printer soon and after spending quite a lot of work at home time on youtube etc. I decided not to go the cheap Chinese way but to support our sympathetic Czech neighbours. 😊Â
And yes, I'm already planning to build the IKEA Lack enclosure. What I ask myself: The MMU2S looks quite cool to me, but a) I don't want to spend the additional 300 Euros at the moment and b) I want to get familiar with the basic functions of the MK3S first before adding another layer of difficulty on top. BUT I'm quite sure that I want to get the the MMU2S at some point. So I'm thinking about building the MMU2S enclosure right away and using it WITHOUT the MMU2S.Â
My question here: what about the filament holders (position, guiding the filament from spool to printer...)? What would I have to adapt to do it that way?Â
Does this make sense at all? 🤔Â

Best wishes,

Eike

My advice is not to build a crappy Lack enclosure for a high tech printer but to use a solid 19 Inch Server Rack, costs are about 150 Euros and there are lots of examples. Chosing the right height will provide ample room for an MMU2.

Of course! Thanks for the actually quite obvious advice. I'm an IT pro and might even be able to source a used one at work....
