Now I just need to install the lighting, Octopi screen and the printer control screen, adjust the doors (which have a minor, but annoying to look at sag), close off the right side and enclose the base using some Ikea HÄGGEBY Doors which fit almost perfectly in the openings.
The back shell is almost done, and what a pain it was. I wasted almost a spool of PLA when I realized that I needed to re-design it, which delayed things a couple weeks as well. The back shell is composed of 4 large printed parts, and several small ones. The large parts took over a day to print, and the rest of the parts are probably under a day in total. The printed parts make up a frame, which holds an AC power outlet / USB power outlet, a tool holder and a filtered air intake / filtered air exhaust duct. The exhaust duct bolts on the back of the back shell and will duct air pulled from the enclosure, to the outside, via a 2 1/2" flexible hose. The printed frame holds a 3mm aluminum composite panel which is 2 pieces of thin aluminum which sandwich a layer of polyethylene plastic. The panel is 18"x24" and cost me 25 bucks, but arrived with a dinged corner (but I was able to fix that well enough that it doesn't really show now). Now I just need to install the lighting, Octopi screen and the printer control screen, adjust the doors (which have a minor, but annoying to look at sag), close off the right side and enclose the base using some Ikea HÄGGEBY Doors which fit almost perfectly in the openings.
