I built an enclosure!

I'm not "planning" on printing anything nasty but I do have a cat and he is a d*ck.

Aside from his desire to sleep on square things (like build sheets) he has hair. I vacuum but...

 

Anyway, Looking at the available enclosures I couldn't fine exactly what I wanted, so I decided to build one. The final cost is more when you factor in design and build time, but it matches my office and isn't too big like most I saw.

After being unable to find another matching wood know, I went to black.

RE:

Up top I also added some LEDs and a few magnetic tool/sheet holders.

 

Underneath is access to a power grommet and a storage space for misc parts.

Not part of the enclosure but I also added a quick little thumb tab to get the sheets off without the printer being tossed around:

Last step will be to add a vent with filtration. I'll update when I get that put in!

That was supposed to say "after being unable to find another wood knob" but I guess you only get a few minutes to edit your post. Yikes!

Work with wood - a great profession. Nice and practical you have implemented the "house" for the Mini 👍
