Put a MDF bottom in the bottom of the table (20-ish cm above ground), put plexi (acrylic) glass around; fixate the "glass" with powerful magnets to the metal ...

One thing to consider with the XL is that a lot of mass is being slung around fast and that imparts some decent force into whatever the XL is sitting on. You'll want that table to be heavy, extremely stiff, and have a secure grip on the floor, preferably, a vibration barrier.

I have a 250lb table, very sturdy, and it still shakes the table way too much.

I think enclosing the entire machine in a box is going to cause heat issues with the electronics. I think the ideal enclosure would enclose nothing but the parts required and leave all the electronics on the outside of the heated space.

Im thinking to use trotten (https://www.ikea.com/se/sv/images/products/trotten-underrede-foer-bordsskiva-vit__1040185_pe840598_s5.jpg?f=s) , as mentioned before. Put a MDF bottom in the bottom of the table (20-ish cm above ground), put plexi (acrylic) glass around; fixate the "glass" with powerful magnets to the metal frame and then either just put a plexi-lid on top or if needed (since it would be approximate 80cm high and 90cm seems to be a recommendation) add something with more clearance.

Your poll is missing a line for "Compact size". Ideally something similar to the Prusa XL Sumo Enclosure at 3dsourcerer.com. But with Prusa touches... Maybe managing to get the filament rolls into some sort of humidity controlled side panel or top section.

Looking for a little help printing ASA I have no problem printing it in ABS, This is a picture of the fail parts, also how can I add my PrusaSlicer file to this post

At this temperature 92 F in the enclosure the filament stops wanting to feed, I dont undstand this since I have no issues printing ABS and the enclosure temperature is between 103 f to 106 f while printing the ABS.

Update:

After further review I decided to raise my nozzle temperature to 260°c thinking that 250°c was not hot enough, causing high enough effort to slip the drive wheels. This has solved my problem I have now been printing for over 2 hr with no issues.

Jump over to my enclosure thread. Maybe some of the information given will help. I print a lot of ASA

I jus finished my fully enclosed XL and I am seeing the same issue. My enclosure temp is stable at 40c and about 2 hr into the print is noticed that it had stop extruding and the printer continues to print. After inspection I notice the same gear marks in the filament, my first thought was Heat Creep, I am using ASA with fan off, bed temp at 105c and nozzle at 250c.
If you don't mind could you share your slicer setup file and I will try to repeat exactly.

stevQ, I am just finishing the bench for a more permanent location for my XL and looking at options for an enclosure.

Looking to build the Cabby design.

For panels I can duplicate the shapes and send out for cutting and manually drill during assembly, any chance you will release the panels as step files?

I wanted to follow up with this. I had made mod to the mod 3dupfitters supplied for spool holder base that would press the acrylic to the frame. I have now followed this up with one that would do that but also allow 608 bearings. So if you if you are looking for a spool holder that will fit the 3dupfitters enclosure and will allow you to use 608 bearings. Feel free to check out this thing I came up with. I'm printing a full set now that I know they work.
