Ender 3V2 IKEA Lack Housing

Hey,

here is my go on the famous IKEA Lack Enclosure.

My goal was an enclosure, which can be upgraded later. Also it should have enough room for my Ender3V2 and some spare room at the top. Another thing is, that the Printer still needs to be accessible.

My printer already has the Electronics seperated in an Box below, so that was not an problem. If you build it yourself, you may need to moove the power-supply outside the Enclosure, but there are a few holders out there. I used MDF for the Back- and Sidepanels. For the Frontpanel I used Acrylic-glass with the holes precut. Of course you can use Acrylic-Sheets on every side :D

Now to the enclosure. What parts do I need and how do I build it? I personally divide them into three groups.

3D-printed Parts:

• 1 Drillguide LegExtension
• 1 Drillguide Panels
• 1 Placementguide Hinges
• 1 Placementguide TopNotch
• 1 Handle
• 2 HingeA
• 2 HingeB
• 4 LegExtension
• 2 LegExtensionTop
• 1 LegExtensionDisplay (mirrored if you want the display left)
• 1 LegExtensionTop (mirrored if you want the display left)
• 1 TopLid
• 2 TopNotch
• 2 TopConnector
• 1 TopConnectorBack

Hardware:

• 20x M4 threaded Insert
• 20x M5 threaded Insert
• 20x M4 * 10mm => for the Panels and the handle
• 12x M5 * (10-20mm) => for the TopAssembly
• 8x M5 * thickness of your Base + (5-10mm) => for the LegExtensionmount on the Base 
• 2 M6x60 Screws
• 1 M8x120 threaded Rod
• 2 M8 self-securing Nuts
• Wooden Screws in different Sizes

Other:

• 1 Frontpanel - 452 x 600 mm; 3 or 5mm thick (see images)
• 1 Backpanel - 452 x 600 mm; 3 or 5mm thick with cutout  (see images)
• 2 Sidepanel - 452 x 600 mm; 3 or 5mm thick (see images)
• 1 IKEA-LACK Table 55x55cm
• 1 Baseplate - 550 x 550 x 16mm or another IKEA-LACK Table

How to build your Table:

1. Decide if you want the Display on the left or right side
   1. Right: print the files normal
   2. Left: print “LegExtensionDisplay” and “LegExtensionFront” mirrored
2. Print all the needed Parts
3. Insert the following threaded inserts:
   1. LegExtension
      • 2x M5 in the Bottom
      • 2x M4 on the Side
   2. LegExtensionTop
      • 2x M4 in the Side
   3. LegExtensionDisplay
      • 1x M4 on the Side
   4. LegExtensionFront
      • 1x M4 on the Side
   5. TopConnector / TopConnectorBack
      • 4x M5 on the Side
      • 2x M4 on the Back
   6. Handle
      • 2x M4 on the Back
4. Predrill the Holes for the LegExtensions in the Baseplate using the DrillGuide
5. Screw the LegExtensions to the Baseplate
6. Select one LACK-Leg as the one for the hinges
7. Prepare it by screwing HingeA with the PlacementGuide Hinges to it
8. Screw the Lack-Legs to the LegExtensions
9. Preassemble the Top Part
   1. Connect the TopConnectorBack with the two LegExtensionTop 
   2. Connect the LegExtensionTop via the TopConnector and the LegExtensionFront / LegExtensionDisplay
10. Screw the preassembled Part to the top of the IKEA-LACK Legs
11. Prepare the IKEA-LACK-Tabletop
    1. Place the TopNotches with the PlacementGuide on the underside of the tabletop
    2. Place the TopLid in the Backside middle of the Tabletop underside 
12. Place the Tabletop on the Top and secure it with the M8 Rod
13. Predrill the Side and Backpanels with the Drillguide
14. Install the Side and Backpanels 
15. Install the Handle on the door
16. Install the HingesB on the door
17. Install the door on the first HingeA
18. Install the seccond HingeA fitting the door

Now your Enclosure is done. To fit your printer proberly, you maybe should install the wireBend from here, so the printer has more space. After that you'll need to find a way to power the printer. I used an hole in my Baseplate to pull all cables trough (since my Mainboard is no longer the default one). If you still have your Mainboard inside the printer, you just need to get the power-supply out of the enclosure. Unscrew it and in the link from above you can also find a mount for it.

Printfiles are for my specific Ender3V2 with SUNLU PLA+ as Filament. Layerheight 0.3mm and Infill 15%.
