Description
This is an enclosure for Anycubic I3 Mega 3D printer.
It is based on "Square Tube Connectors / Joints + Plexiglass support" that you can find here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2927377.
I added here also two support, a and b, that help to place the enclosure over the printer.
This is a work in progress and I have not yet tested how it works.
I'll be back with update soon.
I also plan to add a fan to force the air through a filter.

UPDATES:
27/May/2018
a - I updated the measures increasing the X dimension of the box of 2mm to best fit the printer.
b - I made a first test printing PLA and I had a bad surprise. The feeder motor get too hot and sometimes melt the filament :-( I need to find a fix.

I think I fixed the issue of melting filament adding a fan to the extruder motor. If you are interested you can find here the case I used to mount the fan: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2976030
