Design Approach:

Give the  A1 Mini a housing that is perfectly matched to its size. 
Now with bigger dimensions (490mm) everything fits inside. Don't worry for bent
heatbed cables or not enough space for a pooptray. If you plan to use the included spool holder, we highly recommend to print a spool holder that sits next to the door for easy access.The overall costs of the build should be kept low, so I decided to work with just 3 mm acrylic panels, which are stable enough thanks to the corner pieces. 

 

Features:

  • Size: 490x490x490mm / door: 330x330mm
  • Strong 5mm Top-Plate
  • Removable door
  • Chamber Fan support (optional)
  • LED kit support
  • Spool fits inside
  • AMS Support on Top (optional)
     

You can build the enclosure in 2 variants: 

                 5mm Top-Plate with AMS                                        3mm Top-Plate with spool inside

 

The 5mm variant supports the AMS lite on top of the case. Please notice that 2 of the bowdentubes need to be extended to fit the AMS on top.

 

This enclosure can be bought as a complete kit from my online shop. 
All kits now include the panels, bowdentube extensions, screws & magnets. 
You only need to print the parts from PLA in the color of your choice.
