Overview of my updated Rostock. I think a Duet + FSR's are the next major upgrade... perhaps in september. Cyclops dual extrusion right around the same time (even though i havn't had a need for it, i liked it on my old prussa)

Heat controller and the bondtech extruded moved up outside of the enclosure for cooling. Still gets a little hot, but havn't had any problems. I havn't tried ninjaflex filament yet, but I don't see a huge different between the stock extruder and the bondtech using PLA/ABS. I bought it when i bought the printer.. i'll probably just use the stock extruder as the second one, once i go dual extrusion.

I was worried about loosing my tool cadies, but the only tool i need fits right on top

I know there are some high - tech relay driven things that can turn off a printer, but i decided an extinguisher makes the most sense. Shutting off the printer after detecting smoke is too late. This will put out the fire. (hopefully). I drew up a mount in autocad, printed it out and it worked the first time! (had to make some manual adjustments with a pair of dikes). Also, my ceramic socket for a 150w heater. It gets the enclosure up to 48c in about 15 minutes, it doenst seem to fully get to 50c but its close enough, right?...

So far the leds have been fine operating at the higher temp, but if there is a problem later on i'll probably switch them out to something more enclosed. I think also i might need a fan at the top to circulate the air downwards, because it seems like most of the heat is concentrated at the top. I put the thermometer through the wiring harness sleeve about 3/4 the way down... and its probably a lot hotter at the top of the machine than it is at the bottom. So i think a little something to push the air down might help, without causing too many issues with warping?

The aluminum sheet from Trick Laser was completely flat with a smooth finish. I like it. Although i do miss those lonely seemecnc eyes starting up at me I also put on the sheet of PEI. Went on pretty smoothly, its a lot easier to put on that an iPhone screen protector

This shows the corners and the hinges. I hadnt ever used acrylic solvent "glue" before so i decided more was better and got a bit too much on the glass so it looks less than professional, but it WORKS and is a strong bond. I have a feeling i'll end up doing something to block to two gaps in the front on either side of the door.. but for right now i'm gonna PRINT ALL THE THINGS!

Thanks for the pictures and let us know more about your fire prevention system that you are going to use.

I'm installing the pei today then I'll have a proper update with pictures that aren't every which way

updated the topic

When the loofah and the bungee cord are on the doorknob, don't come a Rostockin'.

I'm not sure about the loofa, but my dogs go into that room and chew up all my tools/electronic components so I gotta tie the door short.. They know how to work the knob and I can't figure out the lock

Our cars also figured out how to work those handles. Round knobs will mess with your dogs and protect tools and electronics.

Those are some clever cars. Did you accidentally bring home a DARPA model? I'm also impressed at the architectural forethought in allowing cars access to interior doors. Very ready for the Wall-E future.

More on topic, it's a pretty great looking enclosure there. Your PEI is much less colorful than I'm used to though.

Very much enjoyed looking at your setup, can you provide link to that fire extinguisher on the inside on your enclosure? Thanks

Sure

I think xenocrates might have shown them to me or maybe it was nebian...

It seems our furry friends have a knack for figuring out how to interact with our human world. Round knobs are definitely a challenge for curious paws.
