Prusa Mini/Mini+ Acrylic Enclosure Box Case Cover Kit

Description

The Prusa Mini was released in November of 2019 and was an immediate hit, with waiting times of months to get one. We were lucky enough to buy the first day and so only had to wait two months.  The Mini itself is a wonder of engineering designed to reduce costs and increase reliability.  The cantilevered hot end gets all of the attention, but the redesigned hot end with its custom integrated heat sink is both simpler and more effective than on its bigger MKS cousin.
The only thing the Prusa Mini lacks is an enclosure to make full use of its capabilities, as well as retain the smells and air contaminates from melting plastics.  This product is a professional-grade, cool-looking enclosure you can assemble in under an hour.
Advantages of adding a
3D
UPfitters
enclosure:
The controlled temperature creates better quality prints
More flexibility to print different types of filaments
Optional air filter or vent to the outside (both sold separately)
Thick 6mm acrylic doors and 3mm sides
, stabilizing ABS and other filaments that expand when they cool.
Side Access
The biggest difference between this enclosure
box/case/cover
and the Prusa MKS enclosure is the addition of a side door.  The Mini is designed to feed filament through the Bowden tube on the side, and the power switch and USB port are all there.  To make access easy a side door is right where you need it.  There's a gap on the edge of the door so that as the gantry moves up and down the filament has a slot for unrestricted access.

How it's Built
All of the plastic parts are 3D printed in ABS
to withstand the heat from the enclosure. The panels are cut on a US-made industrial laser and then flat packed for your assembly.   All you need for assembly is just a hex wrench and a small Phillips head screwdriver.  (not included.)
Note: The Mini comes with a nice spool holder so one is NOT included in this kit.
