Review on Temperature Resistant Enclosure for Creality Printing by Tay Fair

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for storing heat while 3D printing

This is a great little case to purchase and use when trying to print with filament that requires higher temperatures and is more sensitive to drafts or cold air . Signs of this can be warping or poor adhesion of the layer. I wanted to start playing around with PETG and ABS. I haven't ordered my ABS filament yet, but am excited to see how it goes (I'm sure it will take a lot of fiddling to get the slicer settings right). PETG doesn't really have the same problem as ABS in that it needs much higher temperatures and will warp from drafts, but I also wanted this to retain heat and prevent my office from heating up like it does when printing something The case would take many hours, especially since my 3D printers are only a few feet away from me and I also want to run a ceiling fan without worrying about my prints warping. Overall, this case feels very solid. My guess is that most people will put this in the same place as their printer and it will pretty much stay there, so I don't think there will be a problem if this thing breaks or tears. There is a great pocket on the side. to store all your typical tools like cutters, scrapers, extra bits, pipes etc. There is also a hole in the front left corner of the case which I assume was for the power cord, but it should be placed in the right rear parts to the location of the printer's power supply, but you can use it for other printers than use the Ender 3. I think it might be ok for others but I just routed the cable through the little velcro door on the right side and it works fine. Overall I am happy with this case and look forward to trying ABS for the first time in the near future.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Expensive
