  • This is a test of Creality Small 3D Printer Enclosure designed for Ender 3 size printers. This equipment is necessary if we want to print ABS, ASA to prevent wrapping of the object. In this review I am measuring temperatures of the air inside, stepper motor temperatures, measuring the noise, testing is it really flame retardant. Test prints are from ASA and ABS. ASA object was printed perfectly. ABS had some minimal wrapping, but room temperature was only 15°C, inside 35°C.

    Nice, this video convinced me to get this instead of making my own 2020 extrusion enclosure. You could flip the whole unit to see the first layer better by having the window at the bottom, but you'd let all the heat out as you open it.

  • @EsotericArctos

    I've been thinking about a tent for my Ender 5, but was trying to justify the cost. Looks like it may be worth it.
    I like the idea of a camera inside to monitor first layer as it could zoom to get a better view than naked eye, but could also print a small mount and hold the door just partly open during the first layer print. As heat rises not too much would be lost if it was only opened a little bit to monitor :).

    I've been using the same enclosure for some time now and still can't understand why there is a flap on the right side but not the left - this makes accessing the extruder for filament changing a real pain! A small hole on the left would also allow filament to be fed in from an external filament dryer. Anyway thankyou for all your work on these videos.

      Pro? (that's all metal hotend?) Probably great printer for that. I hope the mainboard fan is not connected directly with part cooling fan (like on E3V2), because for ABS you want to disable (or minimalize) the part cooling. E3V2 mainboard fan rotates only if part cooling fan is ON

    Greetings from Brazil!
    I moved my screen outside, the cable was just the right size.I printed a stand for it.
    I also moved my Raspberry Pi outside. And I would recommend moving the spool holder to the middle of the rail, it seems it will avoid the spool from rubbing into the enclosure.
    Still haven´t tested it with ABS/ASA, will do it in this weekend.
    Fun fact: I bought my enclosure about the same time as you made this video, but I left it stored for over a year LOL. I only assembled it now that I am putting my 'definitive" 3D printing space together, as fot the last year I was using my guests room for that. :D
    Oh, a good addition to the enclosure is a set of LED lights. It helps checking out the first layers through the cover, as well as for filming it with Octoprint. I jutt used cable ties to attach it to the structural tubes (I mounted it into the top front tube, passed the USB cable outside through the side opening, tied everything up with cable ties so it looks neat - light switch is outside of the enclosure so I can turn it on and off anytime I want without opening the enclosure).

    Great video mate 👍 I got one of these a couple of weeks ago and am loving it. It helps cut down some of the high pitch noise, and I deadened mine further by sticking some 10mm heat proof car sound proofing foam inside (the foil covered type). My ambient temp is around 23 degrees and measuring the temperature near the top of the enclosure I get up to 40 degrees (nased on a bed temp of around 70 degrees). One thing to be careful of is any PLA parts you've customised the printer with can warp in the heat (I need to re-print my Raspberry PI case in ASA now so it doesn't melt). BTW Octoprint with a Raspberry PI and a PI Camera is a good solution for being able to see inside, you will may need to add some internal lighting to get the light levels up for the camera. Definitely well worth the purchase IMHO - well made and really easy to setup.

I can't believe how much noise used to come from the stepper motors. That high pitched R2D2 sort of whine - totally gone.
      Another sound mod I did was to replace the PSU fan with a larger diameter fan with a lower sound level. Required a bit of metal work to do. That also reduced the high pitched whining.

    Nice review.
    It is a great addition. I've had the large version of this for a few months for my CR10S Pro. Like you mentioned - It instantly solved all of my ABS/ASA/Nylon printing issues for larger prints. I could not get these to stick to the bed (tried glass, glue, PEI etc etc) and now they almost stick too well even on glass. Warping is also gone even for PLA. Best upgrade to my printer setup I've done.
    As for inside temps - the power supply (Meanwell) fan runs all the time now. My PSU is rated at 50C at full power (500W) and 70C at 50% power so this should all be fine. The other electonics (main board and display) should be ok at 50-60C. I have used this setup with a max ambient temp of 30C so far (inside got to 40C) but summer is coming here in Australia. 40C ambient is imminent and I'll be interested to see hot the inside gets - I may have to open thay ventilation flap at the top. The larger enclosure has the cable entry point at the rear which is more sensible I think. My RaspPi sits outside with the USB cable just going inside. It has no heatsink and would overheat inside I would imagine.
    Handy tip for lighting: I use a mains powered 10W LED floodlight (from the hardware store) facing straight up and the rear of the enclosure and use a Pi connected Web Camera at the front. The shiny internal walls reflect well and my remote camera video image is awesome with no shadows. No need for fancy strip lighting and such.

    • @MyTechFun
      @MyTechFun  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks for detailed comment. Be carreful with ventilation, because even 50-60°C is too cold compared to ABS printing temp. Enclosure helps to avoid any breeze or moving of air. Use only minimal ventilation and not in direction of prinitng object.

      @@MyTechFun Did a bit more experimenting over the last day. Did a large ASA print overnight (10hours @ 15C ambient) and the enclosure got to around 35-40C. This print got a crack half way up the print and the bottom corners had slight lift. Did the exact same print during day (32C ambient) and the inside temp got to 56C. Print came out perfect. Huge difference with no settings change. Luckily my printer is setup in my large shed as the ASA fumes were very noticeable once the print finished.

I've been using this setup for a year now and I've been printing ABS and ASA with absolutely no issues with 100°C bed and 250°C nozzle.

    I got this and it worked fine although not needed for PETG and PLA but I noticed after another upgrade I eventually got jamming or filament breaking at the extruder on longer prints. I realised later the extruder stepper motor was getting hot and my upgrade to Creality's Aluminium extruder was absorbing the heat and causing filament to soften and deform then get stuck or break on retractions....... Just something to note, was a big headache to find.

    I got the larger version for printing Nylon and Polycarbonate with an ender 3v2. Running a all metal hotend at 280c and a bed of 100c. Ambient air around the enclosure is 22c 50% humidity. Inside the chamber I got it to settle in at a toasty 40c and 10% humidity with just the printer and an hour of preheat. So far prints with nylon have been pretty good. Ideally I would want to get it even higher than that. I am working on relocating my MOBO, PSU, and LCD outside of the chamber with a custom wiring harness and adding another controlled heat source. Hopefully I don't kill any steppers but I think they will be okay below 70-80c.

I use both my printers in Ikea Lacks that are against the corners of a room, I have one side blocked with a removable panel made from chipboard I got in the ikea Spares section, and the front I only cover with some fabric or something when I'm printing warp-happy filaments! works great!

I have a full metal hot end and even tungsten .4 nozzle. I have cooling fan completely turned off throughout the print.

    If have bought the creality enclosure for my Ender 3 V2 with 4.2.2 Mainboard to start printing abs and other materials that have problems with warping, but.... if you turn the part cooling fan off, the mainboard fan also turn off, they are connected in parallel so they work the same. Thats a problem because we want to keep electronics cool. This type of materials doesn't use part cooling soo there is a serious problem there. The best way is to connect the mainboard fan to the hotend fan so they run all the time on. Be aware of that!!!!

    Arra gondoltam, hogy építek egyet bosch profilból és plexiből.. PETG-t szeretnék nyomtatni, de abban a szobában fér csak el a nyomtató, ahol a legtöbbet vagyok, ezért arra gondoltam, hogy ezt a dobozt még kiegészíteném egy nagyon lassú fordulatú ventillátorral, hogy a lehető legkisebb légáramlást keltsem vele és egy hepa szűrővel (vagy a kár kettővel). Ez mennyire lenne butaság? Nem igen találtam cikket azzal kapcsolatban, hogy milyen hatásai vannak a petg nyomatatása közben felszabadult gázoknak, ezért gondoltam, hogy jobb a békesség és megszűröm a kiáramló gázokat. A doboz moga meg lenne emelve, hogy az elektronika elférjen kényelmesen alatta és alulról be lenne vezetve a motorokhoz és a fejhez az összes vezeték.. a tápegység is így kívülre kerülne, így a motorokon kívül minden kint lenne a dobozból. A nyomtató fej körül csináltam egy burkolatmódosítást HT pla-ból.. eddig annak nem volt baja, pedig közel van a heatbrake-hez és a fűtőblokkhoz, így szerintem kibírná a dobozolást is. Van valami javaslatod/ tapasztalatod ezzel kapcsolatban?

      PLA, PETG ok. ABS vagy ASA már kevésbé, ott nagyon is ajánlatos a zárt tér és nem csak a hő miatt, hanem épp a toxikus gázok végett. Hepa szűrő vagy akár direkt kivezetés az ablakba jó megoldás (persze gázok kivezetése a nyomtatás végén, ne legyen áramlás nyomtatás közben). Tápegység, ha megoldható, kívűre ajánlják.

I think many of us would rather listen to natural sounds of your working on the printer, than to the background techno music which interferes with understanding what you are saying when you make comments. Secondly, as someone that was born in Eastern Europe but came to North America as a child, I can understand you well but others may have a more difficult time with your accent. This is nothing to be ashamed of or even worry about. However, if I can correct you on the pronunciation of "warp": You keep saying "wrap" which means a totally different thing than warp. Warp is pronounced "worp". Not trying to be a jerk. Just want to help you so that people can understand what you are saying. Cheers and thanks again for the videos. Ziveli.
