I started to make the original enclosure, but very soon I realized, that design of some parts is not the best.
The position of main switch on the power supply does not have any sense, it is located back and under table... I wanted to control also LED lights, so I make extra "switch box" with 2 independent switches. One for on-off printer itself, and it is immersed so you can not accidentally switch it off, and the smaller one for LED strips light inside.
I put 4 LED strips around with total length 1,6 m. It is enough light now inside the box.
I printed some LED strip holders, because I can not trust the glue of LED strips on the paper surface, which is IKEA table bade from. Moreover on that temperatures, there are inside cover. So I printed fixation holders.
I put also electric installation box in the middle of the lower table from bottom, to make wirings better and more safe. Transparent panels I cut 440x440 mm but they are bigger than enough. I have to cut some mm from sides, where panels are in holders.
Also I add screws 3 mm to the front door holders.
I used magnets from furniture, so I redesign door handles. Magnets I put on the top, it is better to have clean bottom front space.
I am thinking to make top floor for filament spool, to keep it warm and out of the moisture..

EDIT 22.6.2019:

Added termostat holder.
