Enclosing Flsun V400 is fairly easy because of the extrusion slots on each pillar. I have designed top/bottom caps for the side walls and now I'm working on the door and hinges.
How to build the sides:
- Print 2x the STL and 2x mirrored version (the cap is split in half to fit the V400 build plate)
- Use a 5mm pin to connect the sides together (the pin should be up to 30mm in length)
- Get an 800mm by 405mm acrylic sheet (400-410mm will fit nicely into the slots, use 1.5mm or 2mm thickness, anything above will be hard to bend in shape, also it's a lot easier to break the thinner acrilic at home).
- Push the first cap into the slots and slide to the bottom.
- Bend the acrylic sheet into the slots and align it with the bottom cap.
- Slide in the top cap.
- The pressure from acrylic should hold it in place but you can also use t-nuts to create stoppers for the bottom cap.
I printed and tested these out of PETG and the fitment was just right. I've attached Fusion 360 files for anyone who wants to tweak it.
