Sovol SV08 Enclosure panels - left right and back

Easy to print, simple side panels and back panels for the Sovol SV08. Works best with additional insulation.

Instructions & cautionary advice:

It is a tight fit. I tried to make it a little more forgiving, but after I finished all sides, it was still tight, and I didn't want to do more test prints to not waste filament. But I got all screws in, and it works as intended.

The connector is not easy to install. But you will only need to do it once per side. You will get through the struggle ;-) and then it is a pretty stable connection.

Beware. The camera cable and maybe the blue parts of the gantry could touch the insulation. Depends on the thickness of insulation. 

For me this happens but is not a problem. 

You need to print the 4 panels for each side. The outside facing part of the panel should be on the print bed for a nicer surface finish.
Also, you need to print one middle connector for each side (3 total). This part connects the 4 panels.
The middle connector is the only part that needs support (I used normal snug support).
On the inside of the panels. you can find fine lines. These are meant as guides to cut your insulation to the right size with a utility knife.
Preassemble the 4 parts. Do a test fitment on your printer. Use double sided tape to tape the insulation on the inside of the connected panels and then cut it to size with a utility knife.
Attach the finished side to your printer.
Voilà, your printer is (partially) enclosed

Printing:
(These are my settings. That doesn't mean they are perfect for everyone and every printer):
--> Material: PLA (If you don't want to use insulation you might consider printing in PETG or even ABS/ASA because of the heat, which could soften the PLA.)
--> layer height: 0.16
--> infill: 10% Octagram Spiral Octoagram Spiral because it looks cool when held against light. But irrelevant when insulated. (I used 15% for the connector)
--> support: no (Yes for the connector, normal/snug)
--> walls: 3
--> top: 3 (adjust top shell thickness accordingly)
--> bottom: 3
--> Print the outside of the panel on the build plate for a nicer looking surface.

Have fun printing!
