Page 3: Before You Start
You Really Do Want to Read the Directions Hey, we get it. You just got your new enclosure kit and want to start using it as fast as possible. How hard can assembling a few plastic panels possibly be? It’s not really that hard, assuming you’re following the directions, but try to use brute force and you’ll end up working your way through your vocabulary of swear words. - Page 4 Don’t Panic If You See This! If you can’t see through the plastic, please don’t panic! What you’re seeing is just the plastic or paper protective covering. When plastic sheets are manufactured they are covered by either a paper (brown colored) or plastic (white) covering to protect against scratches.

Page 6: The Front Panel
Assemble Panels 1. The Front Panel Each of the corners on the enclosure will be held together by the connectors pictured below. There are only two versions L and R, which can be identified by the letters stamped on the inside. The opposite connectors are identical, i.e. Bottom Right is the same as Top Left. - Page 7 The front should look like the picture to the right. Locate the magnetic latches and use the wood screws to attach them to the latch mounts. Hand tighten and make sure they’re secure, but do not over tighten or they may strip.

Page 8: Left Side Panel
2. Left Side Panel Attach the left side to the front forming an L-shape that will stand up on its own, then attach one L and one R connector at the back. The Ender 3/Pro design adds a side door for easy access to the extruder. - Page 9 Confirm the direction of the fan by plugging it into a USB power supply before attaching the filter. The round label should be on the outside The fan should be attached on the outside of the enclosure. The fan should be oriented to pull air OUT of the enclosure.

Page 10: Top Panel
4. Top Panel Use access through the doors to attach the top of the enclosure using M4 12mm screws. 5. Right Panel The right panel contains the removable grommet cable portal. Locate the grommet and insert it into the grommet holder. This is where you’ll insert the power cable, USB cable, and any other wires you want to run in or out of the enclosure. - Page 11 as the displays are different. CR-6 The CR-6 display mount looks like the piece to the right, and attaches to the two screws in the corner connector on the right-side panel. The cable fits through the slot, while you can mount the display to the front using 14mm M4 screws and nuts.

- Page 13 6. Install Vent You should now place the enclosure over the 3D printer. The fresh air vent is inserted from the outside and attached using M4 12mm screws. This will bring in cold air to the air intake vent of the case, cooling the electronics inside.
- Page 14 7. Tighten Gaps Once the enclosure is completely put together, it is time to make sure that each of the panels is held tightly to each adjoining panel. The connectors are designed with a small amount of play that allows you to make small adjustments for the perfect fit. 1.

Page 15: Temperature Gauge
9. Temperature Gauge The optional thermometer will let you know approximately what temperature it is inside the enclosure. It attaches to the left side of the door piece using the same hole as the top-most corner connector as shown. It comes with a longer screw to fit through everything. - Page 16 At the same time, you want the internal temperatures higher for filaments like ABS, which happens naturally because the recommended bed temperatures are much higher than for PLA, typically in the 105-120C range. With the fans turned on we shoot for internal temps between 35C and 40C for 3D printers that use E3D hot ends, because E3D recommends that temp range to avoid clogging.
