Box for Prusa i3 Hephestos

Work-in-progress

Sketchup file with full design.

Dimensions
480 mm x 470 mm x 380 mm

To reduce the dimensions of the box, I designed a system so you can keep the filament spool inside the box while not using and you only have to mount the holder as always while printing.

Box made of 3 mm PVC foam.
Window with clear acetate.
Corners printed in PLA.
PVC foam panels embed in the corners.
Finally I used screws in the bottom corners to improve the joints.
I also used fasteners feet (by Premium http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:441177) to mount the purse to the wooden board.

Future updates:

  • Improve tightness with L made of PVC in the joints between panels
  • Hinge to open easily the window
