3D Printer Enclosure for Bambu Lab A1, 360° Transparent Acrylic Enclosure with LED Light, Odor Isolation Noise Reduction Constant Temperature 3D Printer Cover Box, 540x600x540MM

One of the better looking enclosures out there, and includes basically all the features I can think of wanting.I appreciate the provision for active ventilation, which is important with the amount of printing I do.The pass-through for the AMS lite is nicely thought out and allows connecting and disconnecting with little fuss. This modularity is nice since I don't use my AMS all the time, and would rather use the space it takes up for other things.The spool holder is well placed and helps minimize the footprint, which is the reason I got the mini version of the A1 in the first place. It is also 3D printed, which was oddly reassuring, knowing that the manufacturer of this 3D printer accessory utilizes 3D printing as well.This might be a silly thing to be impressed by, but the packaging and instructions were also nicer and more thought out than I was expecting (see pictures). Assumed I'd just get a box full of parts and told to figure it out. Includes decent enough tools and a full roll of neoprene foam tape - I suppose for optional extra sealing, they definitely didn't skimp there.I did note one error on the instructions, when you get toward the end there aren't enough self tapping screws in Bag 2 for installation of the door. There are a bunch left over in another bag, just use those, as that was probably the intent.Another reviewer also mentioned that the self tapping screws did not work for mounting the hinge brackets to the frame, and that he had to drill out holes in the aluminum extrusion. I don't believe they are actually supposed to screw into the frame itself - the self tappers are threaded for tapping into plastic rather than metal, so I just used them as clamps to clamp the plastic hinge brackets onto the extrusion. Over-tightening them in an effort to get them to dig into the metal will just result in this 'clamp' spreading out too much and breaking. This seems sufficient to hold the hinge brackets in place, especially since the rest of the door assembly locks things in place.I think this was the intended installation, though I can see why the label of 'self tappers' could make one think they are supposed to tap into the metal frame. A warning in the instructions about this might help in the future, though the (admittedly small) picture does show them being used as clamps and not screwed in all the way.The LED strip is a nice addition, hidden away under the front top of the frame. It's both practical and makes the whole setup really pop if you care about that kind of thing. Mine was actually missing from the package, but a message to the manufacturer quickly resolved that problem, and they went above and beyond to resolve other small issues/questions I had. They seem to know their product and 3D printing quite well, definitely impressed with their communication and service.Overall, while this enclosure is more expensive than others, I think the step up in quality and aesthetics versus the usual rickety (and dark) fabric ones is far more than the step up in expense, so it's well worth it. In my view: buy once and cry once, and then reap the benefits and extra convenience for a long time.

I rarely write a review. But, I had to for this one.First!I have Not read any reviews on this. I probably should have before I purchased it.Now..This was the most challenging assembly I've had in many years.The Instructions were a nightmare!1. The diagram is so small, you have to visually study the parts to figure what they're saying.2. They use this weird green highlight as a guide, but it makes the diagram that much more difficult to follow.3. Most of the diagram the wire port is in the front at the bottom. By section 11 it's shown in the back at the bottom.4. Two of The Hinges I received are not exact and causes the Connector Pin to sit slightly further away and angled.This caused an uneven gap on the end of the door panel.As well as making both doors uneven when opening and closing.This is definitely Not going to last longterm.5. Every time I open or close the door. The Thermo Graph keeps turning out of position. 20 times of opening and closing the door and I'll more than likely have to read it upside down.6. I'm not sure why I have 3 extra Profile Connectors left over. I thought there was more to the installation. Especially, trying to read the diagram.7. It's a little tight on space when the Printer is added. I haven't even tried to add the waste catcher yet.Overall.It looks nice, but the hassle of open and closing the uneven doors I'm not thrilled about.And knowing it's just a matter of time before something breaks off has left me feeling like I just threw away money on something I thought was a great product.Hopefully, the company will reach out.

Apart from a few issues, it looks absolutely great and does the job of keeping some heat around the bed and preventing drafts, so I’m just going to share some notes and thoughts, so you’ll be prepared.The instructions are decent but the images are a little confusing, it’s hard to see some details.Be careful when assembling. The corner brackets have stems that insert into the frame rails, and these are only a couple millimeters thick on either side of the screw holes, so they’re easy to snap (I broke one while assembling). The instructions specify that there are “self tapping” screws meant to hold the door brackets to the frame rails. The ones I was provided were not self-tapping and I had to take a drill to the rails. These door brackets work as additional structural support for the frame, so I was able to make the one snapped corner bracket work by moving it to the front and reinforcing it with the door bracket.Once built, the frame seems sturdy enough, but I’d still handle it carefully.The included tools are weak and flex easily, making them almost comical to use. If you don’t already have a decent set of hex wrenches (and you should), grab one before starting this.The included passthrough for filament did not work for me. I suspect this might be my fault, as I reversed the left and right panels to make my AMS more accessible. If you set it up the right way, you might not have this problem, but if you do what I did, you may find that the positioning of the holes and the length required for the tubing to reach the full bed range results in bends too sharp for filament to pass, causing jam errors. I just removed it and put the stock tubing through the holes in the plexi. The tubes sort of move in and out of the frame as the print head moves, and it seems to be working fine that way. I’ll probably try to find grommets that fit the holes to keep the tubing from scraping on the plexi, as it feels like it might cause damage over time.Overall, apart from these minor problems, I’m very pleased with the way it turned out.Edit: On further reflection, these issues probably wouldn’t be “minor” for a lot of people, and I’m probably being more forgiving than I should be. You shouldn’t have to worry about snapping brackets with a small amount of force, and you shouldn’t have to take a drill to something like this to make it work. Might be best to avoid this if you’re looking for something that doesn’t have to be modified to achieve the functionality it was supposed to have out of the box.
