Thanks!  This is an awesome design.  I recently just purchased a MK3S+ with the enclosure kit and immediately upgraded to this and the center spool holder you also designed.  I've been using 2 kg spools and it's been a small pain to swap them out, so I modified the right version of your center spool holder to mount farther towards to the outside of the enclosure and then made some brackets to hold a spool rod.  This allows me to just lift the spool directly up and out of the enclosure rather than having to hold it with one hand and twist out the original spool rod with the other.

@K Douglass Could you please share the model ?

thank you

Do you consider Fire Suppression System is a must have (for home usage)?

P.S. am still waiting for the printer with the enclosure  (assembled one, though), so I’m totally a newbee here. Thus looking into more details and options of what can I leverage.

.. and there is the filament guide I've promised to share

I machined the rod from some plastic rod I already had rather than printing it. The bracket twists into place to hold the spool rod.

Well, from my point of view it's worth it because I change filament through it. Also any modifications on printer or inside the enclosure are very easy to do if you can open the top.

But, since the whole top is moving it needs a lot of space above it. Also there are lid parts that may go in the way if you want to stack anything on it.

How did you install the hinged lid and the filtration system? I haven't reattached the hinge on that side since I've installed my filtration kit.
