Description
A rough and ready enclosure for Rook and Bishop printers. I made mine from (rather beat up) Correx but it could easily be made from cardboard or any other material around 2mm thick.
To assemble just tape the panels together (using heat resistant tape) and then align the printed parts. I used an awl to punch out the holes but this could be done with anything sharp. All parts are then attached with countersunk M3*6mm screws and nuts (needs 71 pairs in total).
The sizes for the panels are as follows (for a tight fit, may need some ease added):
Front and Back: 256mm x 440mm
Sides: 326mm x 438mm
Top: 256mm x 326mm
Cut-out for the window: 105mm x 105mm ( for 100mm x 100mm acrylic panel)
Cut-out for the thermometer: Approx 43mm circle
For the skirt cut-outs (to allow airflow to the electronics) I have made a simple template which can be traced around, once the feet positions have been found.
As my printer has a combination of both Rook and Bishop elements, I incorporated both of these logos into the corners. There are several version of these, however, to suit your build.
