Printable side panels and corners.  Use M4x12 screws with inserts.  The holes on the corners are good enough that you don't need inserts.  You can use nuts and M4 bolts to attach the panels together.  You need 6 short panels,2 long panels, 4 corners as well as the Rear middle to make a full set with the fan.  Or, If you don't want the shroud, You need 4 short panels, 4 long panels and 4 corners.    Use the Magnets as per the original top-hat design and use the factory aluminum cover.  

Update 1:  Added additional diagonal stiffeners to all panels for rigidity.

Update 2:.  Modified Rear middle piece, added Captured M4 nuts to assist in assembly.  

Update 3:  Added Chamber heater and many additional panels and pieces

Differences of the remix compared to the original

This is a remix to Mr. Edgett's excellent top-hat design.  His is incredibly robust, but I was in a hurry and couldn't wait for laser cut aluminum pieces.  I've modified the corner pieces to fit around the screw heads of the machine better and truncated the pieces to take a printed side panel with hidden M4x12 screws.  Thus you can avoid having to use laser cut aluminum, but still retain the original clever design elements like magnets and forced ventilation for PLA.    You can use Heat set female inserts on the corners if you want.   Mr Edgett's Fans shroud pieces and covers will work or you can double up the front to nix the rear fan altogether.    The factory top cover still works.  Mr Edgett's magnet specifications are the same.   Print with suitable high temperature filaments such as PC, ASA or ABS (the higher the glass transition temp above 65C the better).   PETG should work if you're doing PLA and PETG, etc.    Thanks for Mr. Edgett's for his original work.  

Edit: Chamber heater and wiring
