Since the standard enclosures don't fit my Anycubic Kobra Plus I decided to design my own.

I wanted a enclosure for my Anycubic Kobra Plus and since this model is too large for the Ikea Lack I created one from scratch. Dependent on the length of the poles you use this can be used for all sizes printer.
I used 44x44 mm poles (for the old-fashioned imperial users, this is about 1 ¾ inch). With a router on my Dremel I created the slots in the wooden poles to fit plexiglass in the poles.
Printed with PLA
- infill 20%
- tree supports
- layer height 0.2 mm
Other materials used:
- 44 x 44 mm wooden beams (about 1 ¾" x 1 ¾" )
- For connecting the corner pieces to the poles I used 24 (3 per corner) 6x60 mm woodscrews https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B007MADO36?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
- For connecting the hinges to the poles I used 8 (2 per hinge) 3.0x30 mm woodscrews https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B01LM20MLQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
- The magnets used are standard 6mm x 2 mm magnets (like the ones you use with Gridfinity) https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B09H34QS6C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
- On the pole I used self-adhesive metal plates https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B0DF38539M?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
- M3*10 and M3*40 screws for the hinges https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B0B3MGZ7T2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
- 3 mm (3/16") plexiglass (for the sides and the top, this was sturdy enough, as tested even my cats (6 kg each) can sit on it.
- 4 mm (5/16") plexiglass for the doors
Warning: use casted plexiglass for drilling holes (extruded plexiglass can/will give stress cracks), use a HSS drills or even better a cadmium drill - PG7 cable gland for filament throughput (8mm drill) https://www.amazon.nl/gp/product/B0DT14CBFP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1E051L86G0IZ9
- small rubber hammer to hammer plexiglass in the slots https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B0B7MVH989?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
Extra's:
