Replaced by: Ultimaker. **Replacement:** https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/Ultimaker ## Description Use this ABS acrylic 3D printer enclosure with your LulzBot TAZ Pro or Workhorse to minimize warping and cracking caused by printing in cold and drafty environments, while keeping curious hands and paws away from the heated and moving parts of your 3D printer. This new 3D printer enclosure features a strengthened design with ABS panels, LulzBot branded laser-etched acrylic, and comes ready to assemble with all components provided (no 3D printing required). ### Perfect for: - Cold and/or drafty environments - Printing materials with high shrink rates, like ABS, Nylons (Polyamides), and Polycarbonates - Classrooms, libraries, and high-traffic areas with curious hands ### Features This enclosure is made with optically clear, lightweight 3mm thick extruded acrylic and rugged ABS panels. Assembly and installation is easy as this kit contains all the necessary hardware, including the 3D printed corner brackets. Advanced users can mount a 40 mm fan to vent air from the enclosure, add filtration, and more. When assembled, this enclosure only adds 63.5mm (2.5in) along the length of the Y-axis (front to back). ### Parts & Specifications **Parts Included** - Laser cut, extruded 3 mm thick acrylic sheets and ABS panels - Two (2) Part A: Top Mount with holes PDF SVG - Two (2) Part B: Shelf PDF SVG - Two (2) Part C: Short Panel PDF SVG - Two (2) Part D: Main Panel PDF SVG - Two (2) Part E: ABS Bottom PDF SVG - One (1) Part F: TAZ Pro Machine Side PDF SVG - One (1) Part WF: TAZ Workhorse Machine Side PDF SVG - One (1) Part G: Top Cover acrylic PDF SVG - Two (2) Part H: ABS Top Front and Back PDF SVG - Two (2) Part I: ABS Top Sides PDF SVG - One (1) Part J: ABS Rear Left / Pro and Workhorse PDF SVG - One (1) Part K: ABS Front Left TAZ Pro PDF SVG - One (1) Part WK: ABS Front Left TAZWorkhorse PDF SVG - One (1) Part L: ABS Front Right PDF SVG - One (1) Part M: ABS Rear Right / Pro and Workhorse PDF SVG - 70 M3 10 mm Bolts - 70 M3 Square Nuts - 4 M4 8 mm Bolts - 4 M4 Square Nuts - 8 M5 20 mm Bolts - 5 Printed Brackets - LulzBot TAZ Pro-Workhorse ABS+ Enclosure by Printed Solid is licensed CC-BY-SA 4.0 International by David Randolph and printedsolid.com **Tools Needed** - 3 mm hex driver for M3 screws - 4 mm hex driver for M4 screws - 4 mm hex driver for M5 screws - Optional: Painters tape - Optional: Flat razor **Time Required** - 2-3 hours, based on skill level **Physical Dimensions** - LulzBot TAZ Pro Operating Dimensions (Standard): 83.2 cm x 71 cm x 52 cm (32.76 in x 28 in x 20.47 in) - LulzBot TAZ Pro Operating Dimensions (with Enclosure): 83.2 cm x 77.47 cm x 52 cm (32.76 in x 30.5 in x 20.47 in) - LulzBot TAZ Workhorse Operating Dimensions (Standard): 83.2 cm x 71 cm x 52 cm (32.76 in x 28 in x 20.47 in) - LulzBot TAZ Workhorse Operating Dimensions (with Enclosure): 83.2 cm x 77.47 cm x 52 cm (32.76 in x 30.5 in x 20.47 in) - Enclosure adds an additional 63.5 mm (2.5 in) along the Y-axis (from front to back). **Warnings** - Acrylic can easily crack - do not over tighten the screws.

See Step 5 of the Assembly Instructions.* **Emissions and Ultrafine Particles** This is an enclosure designed to minimize the effects of the ambient environment around your printer and keep curious hands and paws away from the heated and moving components of your 3D printer. It does include a built-in location for mounting a 40mm fan to vent air from the chamber and further modifications can be made. Users concerned about emissions and ultrafine articles should instead use materials made from Eastman Amphora co-polyesters such as [colorFabb nGen](https://www.lulzbot.com/store/filament/ngen) and [Chroma Strand Labs INOVA-1800](https://www.lulzbot.com/store/filament/inova-1800). For more information, read the [Guide to printing Eastman Amphora (PDF)](https://www.lulzbot.com/sites/default/files/guide_to_printing_with_Amphora-SPMBS1497.pdf) and the ultrafine particles emission study (PDF). On this subject, Printed Solid notes: *"Some designs use things like HEPA filters to reduce films for things like ABS, HEPA filters are not rated for the ultrafine particles (UFP) that people are concerned about with ABS. A better approach for managing these particles (aside from simply not using ABS) is to maintain a small pressure differential so that the enclosure is at a lower pressure than the room and particles do not flow out. You would then tie this exhaust into exhaust leaving the room."* **Warnings** - Acrylic can easily crack - do not over tighten the screws. Tighten to hold without movement. - When cleaning, use dish soap or hand wash and a soft, clean cloth. Do not use Windex® or other glass cleaning solutions.
