Ikea Lack Enclosure (Bottom Filament Feed Loading) by digitalrice

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

~ATTN: REVISIONS INCOMING aka NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT!~
Save space and have a cleaner look by having your filament fed directly from the filament dry box underneath! The roller on the rod also serves as a filament guide (there are 2 rollers for an dual extruder upgrade) with very low friction. I also moved/mounted the LCD up front and mainboard and power supply underneath.

-Add 120mm Fan and duct to window (stl is provided)
-Add clear door
-Secure filament tubing

-Dense Anti-vibration mat for 3d printer or furniture moving sliders foam
Optional: 2mm craft foam. Attach to bottom of top legs and optionally line the bottom edges of the glass/acrylic that meets the surface.
Bowden tube or water tubing for the filament feed through to the printer.
Cable clips
Velcro
glue or spray adhesive
#8 countersunk wood screws and 3mm head screws for the rod holder
Power supply holder
AC mount on Power Supply
Reprap Discount LCD case: used the side mounting brackets to mount the back LCD cover to bottom ikea table.
Assembly:
Cut the appropriate holes in your bottom ikea table for the wires/tubing.
Cover the holes with craft foam/adhesive and cut slits into them to allow stuff to passthrough while making a good seal.
Screw velcro strips to the back sides and secure equipment wires with them.
Print 2 of the rod holders + 1 rod, and insert on each end of the rod. mount underneath the top ikea lack table where it won't obstructed.
Notes: The Original Corner Brackets (base 3mm thick) are pictured and spaced for 2mm foam on the leg sides for anti-vibration. The newer brackets (base 1 mm thick, no foam required) are sized to hug the legs and spaced to accommodate a front door. Both of these brackets screw into the bottom ikea lack table using #8 or less countersunk wood screws.
