Rigidbot Big Acrylic Enclosure

Update: 6.29.2016

After using this for a while, there's a couple of improvements I would recommend. I inserted a webcam and digital thermometer inside. Routing the cables through the z-stop cutout is possible, but you may want to create a notch/hole elsewhere to route the cables out.

Temperatures for ABS have been fantastic. Throwing a blanket over the entire unit, I sustain a 54C internal temperature for ABS, resulting in zero warping and extremely predictable prints. By just covering the top of the unit, temps of 45C are consistent. Note: for PLA, you'll likely want to remove the entire front door panel to prevent heat buildup.

It is designed to add the absolute minimal amount to the footprint of the printer without compromising the build volume. There is a slight loss in the Z-height at the left edge because of my conservative spacing for material
