Page 3: Before You Start
Before you Start Is This Manual for Your Kit? This installation manual covers the enclosure design for the Creality CR-10 Smart Pro 3D printer. If you have a different 3D printer, you can find the installation manual at the bottom of any product page on our website. - 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. You, dear customer, are way too smart to think the plastic is flawed and then call and email us over and over again.
- Page 5 WARNING Once you’ve assembled the enclosure and it's on your printer… DO NOT MOVE THE ENCLOSURE while the printer is INSIDE. If you want to move the printer and enclosure, you’ll need to detach the vents and cables and remove the enclosure first.

- Page 7 The actual length of the "long" screws to attach the fan and or filter will vary depending on the depth of the particular shipment of fans we happen to get that month. They won't be hard to spot since they'll be the longest thing in the bags. Note that you’ll need a 3mm hex wrench for most screws.
- Page 8 Assemble Panels 1. Attach The Front Door Frame Corners Each of the corners of 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.
- Page 9 Mid-panel connectors are used to secure the middle of the panels. When you remove the front door, remember the orientation, i.e., which part of the door is the inside and outside. You’ll want to attach the door the same way it was taped.
- Page 10 Attach the doorknob by first inserting the square M4 nut into the slot. Use a 16mm cap head screw to attach the door. Now that the latches are mounted, it is time to connect the strike plates. Each plate comes with a squishy adhesive covering the exact size of the plate.
- Page 11 the knob, and the assembly will look like the illustration to the right. Don’t forget the mid-panel connectors at the back, left and top. As with the front door, adjust how the door hangs by loosening the hinge screws, using the strike plates to hold the entrance to the latches, and then tightening the hinge screws.
- Page 12 Confirm the fan's direction 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 to the outside of the enclosure. The fan should be oriented to pull air OUT of the enclosure.
- Page 13 5. Attach the Right Side The right side is a simple, plain sheet of acrylic. Note that there is a hole at the top for the mid-panel connector and a slot at the top for the support beam installed in the next step.
- Page 14 The CR-10 Smart Pro top needs to be installed in the correct orientation, as shown below. Pay particular attention to the slit and holes in the center.
- Page 15 Next, locate the filament sensor mount. The filament sensor itself will be attached using the M3 screw that came with the printer to connect the filament sensor to its spool holder. After attaching the filament sensor to the sensor mount, attach the combined piece to the top using 2 M4 12mm hex cap screws.
- Page 16 The assembled enclosure should now look like this: 7. Attach Front Display You can leave the display attached to the printer or move it outside. First, detach the display from the printer and unplug the cable in the back. Unfortunately, the cable is just a tad short of reaching to the display outside of the enclosure, so we’ve included an extension cable.
- Page 17 Attach the display cable extender, work the cable through the slot, and attach it to the display outside the enclosure. UPDATE: After the pictures were taken, the display mount was modified to use #4 Philips head wood screws on the end of the three prongs.
- Page 18 1. Situate the display so that the three prongs fit inside the three holes and wiggle the display until it is flush against the mount. 2. Slide the display down along a fraction of a mm to seat the prongs into place. 8.

- Page 20 11. Managing Enclosure Temperatures There's not much to a 3D printer enclosure. Although ours look fancy, functionally, they're not much different from putting a cardboard box over the printers since both designs are passively heated by the beds. How complicated can they be? This section will explain how they work and how to manage the temperatures to get quality prints while protecting your lungs.
- Page 21 Since airflow is critical, all of our enclosures come with fans chosen for CFM ratings to match the cubic size of the enclosures. This ensures enough airflow for cool-loving filament types like PLA to keep the temperatures in the safe zone. Room Temperature Passively heated enclosures depend entirely on the room temperature as a starting point.
- Page 22 the enclosure less than ABS right off the bat. Make sure to print with an enclosure fan and monitor the internal temperature, which should ideally be in the 30-35C range or lower if you can get it. If you'd like to lower the temperature further, you can always buy a more powerful fan, but the easiest thing to do is crack the front door a little to increase airflow.
- Page 23 Let Us Help If you're looking to achieve a particular temperature with your enclosure, let us know, and we'll give some advice on how to manage, but it's not that hard: Lower Temperature = More Cold Air Higher Temperature = Less Cold Air Pro Tip: measure your current temperatures before attempting to make any changes.
