HotBox - a tiny enclosure heater

A compact 200W PTC enclosure heater designed for Klipper-based 3D printers. Just 100mm wide, 52mm deep and 177mm high.

WARNING: This project uses a resistive heating element inside an enclosed space. Built and configured incorrectly, it is a genuine fire risk. This project is shared as-is for experienced makers who understand the risks. If you're not comfortable working with high-current DC systems and thermal management, please don't attempt this build.

Features:

  • 24V 200W PTC ceramic heater element (self-limiting)

  • 125°C thermal fuse for failsafe protection

  • Dual 4020 axial fans (wired in parallel)

  • Klipper config with PID control, overtemp backoff and auto-restart

  • Magnetic lid for easy access

  • Compact enough to fit inside most enclosures

Fan duct variants included:

  • Generic fan duct (bolts to 2020 extrusion)

  • ZeroG Nebula specific duct

Print settings:

  • Material: ASA (preferred - slightly higher heat resistance) or ABS.  High temp material is ESSENTIAL as they sit near a heated element.

  • Supports: No

  • Infill: 30%+

Full BOM, wiring diagram, installation instructions and Klipper config are on the GitHub repo: https://github.com/nark3d/HotBox

Inspiration:

  • BentoBox v2.0 by GalvanicGlaze - the compact design that started the idea

  • BentoBox Fan Duct for ZeroG by Morten Borge - the enclosure integration approach
