Since I have already chosen a Printer-box enclosure for my MK3s, I have also decided to use such an enclosure for the MK4.


To satisfy my aesthetic standards, I also wanted a particularly nice front panel that is close to the original. With the modular control panel, the manufacturer already offers a very good starting point. I have designed additional colored text as inserts. These are glued into the front panel - this is a bit tedious but looks very good. In addition, this way you have the possibility to print the text with a 0.25 nozzle, which gives you a better resolution. 

In addition, I did not like the arrangement of the slots for the LED lighting. I wanted the LEDs to be reflected downwards, similar to the original panel. The solution is a bar that is subsequently hooked into the front and fixed with a screw. This makes it possible to apply a reflective tape.
