SUMO enclosure : where download plexiglas panel plans (dxf or plans with dimension)?
Hello everybody,
i'm building a SUMO enclosure for my prusa XL.
All parts are printed.
All the BOM has been bought separately (not in a kit)
Now i will build panels (prbably not all in plexiglas). Do you know if i can download the plans of plexiglas pannels? With dimensions, angles, etc, etc
by advance, thanks, Fab

Could you post the DXF for the acrylic panels. I would like to re-make them out of Polycarbonate so I don't have to worry about the impending cracking. Otherwise this is a great kit with great instructions. I just would have liked an option to get Polycarbonate instead of acrylic.

@3DSourcerer Understood, can you at least offer Polycarbonate sheets as an option then? Acrylic is just not durable.

@Thehead_11769 we’ll consider expanding the product offering - it would likely be more expensive, so I’m not sure how many would be interested in that option but if we get enough interest, we can try it

Why would they give the drawings, your completely just stealing the design without paying. I have no sympathy.

Oh, i just understand their business model. I thought wrongly it was open source. Sorry for that and forget my question.

Thank you for explaining the misunderstanding. If you have the ability to purchase the kit I recommend it. I've been using a Sumo for a while now and I've been happy with it.
I even designed a Filtration system that uses the Prusa blower and filters. It attaches to the back of the Sumo.

I've been thinking about getting a Prusa XL and a Sumo enclosure, and developing some way to mount a chamber heater to the enclosure, which may require replacing one or more of the acrylic panels with something more heat-resistant. Which, in turn, means I'd need the dimensions of the panels being replaced.
Or is acrylic already heat-resistant enough to handle that?
RE:
I believe you would be fine using acrylic for most materials. Acrylic will begin to soften at around approx 99 C or 210 F.
Personally I would be more concerned with the temperature affecting the electronics before I would worry about the acrylic.

The issue here is that the heater is mounted right to the panel, and the temperature at the heater itself is obviously going to be a good deal higher than the resulting air temperature in the chamber at large. So you likely would want something other than acrylic, for a factor of safety if nothing else.
