Yet Another IKEA LACK Enclosure (for Ender 3 S1 + drying rack for Photon Mono X2)

A case for an Ender 3 S1 made out of 2 IKEA LACK coffee tables and some acrylic sheets.

Parts you'll need:

• 2 IKEA Lack Tables
• 4 Acrylic sheets from cut my plastic
• 1 door knob
• 1 cabinet magnetic latch
• 3 25mm cable glands
• 2 door hinges
• 4 m4 bolts and nuts (for the hinge)
• ~10 6x6x2400mm quadrants
• Nails
• Door seals (for the door and any fume extractors)

Tools you'll need:

• Drill and drill bits
• Mitre saw/box
• Hammer
• Spanner
• Screwdriver

Instructions

• Assemble one of the IKEA tables.
• Attach the legs of the other IKEA to the top of the other IKEA table.
• Attach the 2 tables together (glue, screw etc, I screwed them together)
• Measured and cut the quadrants for each side to size using the mitre box. You'll need 8 pieces each for the sides and back (inside and outside), and 4 pieces for the front (inside).
• Hammer in the outer quadrants so they run along the seams of the table. You might find it helpful to have the acrylic pieces inside the case at this point.
• Secure the acrylic sheets to the case by hammering in the inner quadrants.
• Use silicone to seal up any holes.
• Fit the hinge to the front acrylic piece and attach to the case using some screws.
• Attach the magnetic cupboard clip to the case. Drill 2 holes out in the acrylic for the magnetic strip. Attach the door handle to one of the bolts.
• Hammer in the inner quadrants for the front door.
• Attach seals to the front door quadrants and the door.
• Attach any fume extractors to the rear acrylic panel. Use seals to seal the fans properly to the case.
• Done!
