3D PRINTER ENCLOSURE

Tailor Fit, Customizable Enclosures, Professional Grade Safety

What Is A 3D Printer Enclosure?

3D printer enclosure sheet is a protective covering used to enclose a 3D printer during the printing process. It is typically made of fireproof materials like polycarbonate, acrylic(PMMA), PETG, or PVC. The enclosure sheet should withstand high temperatures, maintaining a stable temperature inside the printer, reducing drafts and fluctuations that can affect print quality, and improving safety by containing fumes or particles released during printing. Additionally, enclosure sheets can help in noise reduction and provide a controlled environment for successful 3D printing.

The Benefits For Using Enclosure For 3D Printer

Noise Reduction: Create a quieter and more peaceful working environment, especially in shared spaces or quiet settings.
Dust Protection: Prevent dust and debris from settling on the printer components, including the guides.
Odor Containment: Some filaments used in 3D printing can emit odors during the printing process. An enclosure sheet can help contain these smells within the enclosed space.
Temperature Regulation: Enclosure sheets help create a stable and uniform ambient temperature inside the 3D printer enclosure. Solve the warping issues in 3D printed parts and enhance print quality and dimensional accuracy.
Improved Print Quality: Reduced warping, consistent temperatures, and minimized external disturbances all contribute to higher-quality 3D printed parts.

Excelite offers comprehensive solutions for enclosure shields and enclosure components, tailored to meet specific requirements, quality standards, fabrication and production volumes.

Polishing Plastic Sheets Service

Polishing is an great solution to help the 3d printer enclosure a smooth edges.

CNC Machining Services

Drilling polycarbonate is easy, but it requires careful handing to avoid scratches.

Bending for 3D Printer Enclosures

Polycarbonate sheet can be bent to achieve specific shapes. PC is a thermoplastic material known for its flexibility and formability when heated.

The bending process involves applying heat to the polycarbonate sheet to soften it, allowing it to be shaped or bent into the desired form.

Assembly

Excelite provides a complete solution for enclosures, including sticker logos and tooling as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers

Acrylic Sheet For 3D Printer Enclosure

Advantages:

Transparency: Acrylic sheets are transparent, allowing for easy monitoring of the printing process without the need to open the enclosure. This visual access enables users to check on print progress and troubleshoot issues without disrupting the printing operation.
Durability: Acrylic sheets are known for their durability and impact resistance, making them a reliable choice for protecting the 3D printer and maintaining a stable enclosure structure.
Lightweight: Acrylic sheets are lightweight compared to glass, making them easier to handle and install on the 3D printer enclosure. Their lighter weight simplifies the enclosure setup process and reduces the overall load on the printer frame.
Easy to Cut and Customize: Acrylic sheets are relatively easy to cut and customize. We also provide fabrication and machining processing works for the sheets.

Considerations:

Heat Resistance: While acrylic sheets can withstand moderate temperatures, they have lower heat resistance compared to materials like polycarbonate. Users should ensure that the enclosure setup and printer operation do not reach temperatures that could cause the acrylic to deform or warp.
Scratch Sensitivity: Acrylic sheets are prone to scratching, so people should handle them with care during installation and maintenance. Using soft materials for cleaning and avoiding abrasive tools can help preserve the clarity and appearance of the acrylic sheet.
Flammability: Acrylic is a flammable material, so it is important to consider fire safety measures when using acrylic sheets in a 3D printer enclosure. Avoid placing heat sources near the acrylic and ensure proper ventilation to minimize fire risks.

Polycarbonate Sheet For 3D Printer Enclosure

Advantages:

High Impact Resistance: Polycarbonate sheets are known for their exceptional impact resistance, making them highly durable and capable of withstanding accidental impacts or rough handling.
Excellent Clarity: Polycarbonate sheets offer excellent clarity and transparency, similar to glass, allowing for clear visibility of the printing process inside the enclosure.
Superior Heat Resistance: Polycarbonate sheets have high heat resistance compared to acrylic and other materials, making them suitable for applications where elevated temperatures are involved.
Lightweight and Easy to Handle: Despite their durability, polycarbonate sheets are lightweight and easy to handle, simplifying the installation process on the 3D printer enclosure.

Considerations:

Cost: Polycarbonate sheets can be more expensive than acrylic or other materials used for 3D printer enclosures.
Scratch Sensitivity: While polycarbonate is more scratch-resistant than acrylic, it is not entirely immune to scratches.
Flammability: Polycarbonate is flammable and can release toxic fumes when burned.
