Cheap Chamber Heater for Enclosed Printers

Using a cheap desktop heater from Amazon and a InkBird thermostat outlet, I was able to add a heated chamber to my Bambu X1C. The heater has a single on/off switch that is on the back of the heater (opposite of the intake fan). To make sure the button could not be accidentally depressed and the heater would not fall over, I designed a shell to fit the heater that tightly slides over the heater body and holds it in place deep enough that the button cannot be depressed when placed against a wall or surface. The shell is then slid onto a mounting base that I glued to the base of my printer chamber (the base mount does have two holes designed in the bottom should you prefer to screw/bolt the mount to your printer for even more security). The heater shell is then secured with three 10mm M3 screws (note the two holes on the “front” of the shell have a single .2mm layer over them to allow for easier printing and can then be opened up with a craft/hobby knife) to ensure it stays standing and lessens the chance of accidents.

Please do not add a heater without automatic shutoff and temperature control (I use an InkBrid 200 thermostat outlet with a thermocouple placed inside the chamber).
