Remove the factory silicone plugs and replace them with these four pegs, positioning their protrusions toward the printer’s centerline. Then place an inverted Samla 45L bin ($7 at IKEA) on top.

Voilà ! With that cover and this five-gram low-profile mount, your Snapmaker U1 is now sufficiently enclosed to retain the heat necessary to print with high-temperature materials like polycarbonate without the warping that comes from cooling too quickly.

This works well for me, resulting in a passively heated chamber of up to 54°C on a 16°C day. Tape over a portion of the vent at the rear if you need to retain even more heat.
