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. While the acrylic pieces in the kit are strong and
difficult to harm accidentally, they are still plastic and will break if bent far enough. The ghosts
of the broken panels that have gone before you have become much stronger than you could
ever imagine, and are whispering into your ear, "just be a little careful".
Before you Start
Is This Manual for Your Kit?
This installation manual covers the enclosure design for the LulzBot Mini 2 enclosure. If you
have a different version of the enclosure please read the correct version of the manual available
on the website.
Is your LulzBot Mini 2 Customized?
If your printer is stock then no customization is needed. If you have customized the printer,
you should examine any modifications to make sure they don't block the panels. If part of one
of the panels is blocked, you can use a laser or drill to customize one or more panels. This
should be done before removing the plastic or paper covers on the acrylic panels.
Cutting acrylic requires great care as the plastic is prone to crack if mishandled.
Preparing the Printer
Remove any filament from the hot end (will require heating the hot end) and remove the
filament spool from the spool holder.
Turn the printer off and unplug the power cable from the printer's power supply.
