I got my first 3d Printer and thought i would challenge myself to design my own files and rework others awesome designs, to hopefully make a nice enclosure for my Creality Ender V3 KE. 

The enclosure should work just fine with other printers as well. But since the Ender v3 KE is to freaking tall, i needed an alternative solution, since the unit wouldn't fit a normal IKEA Platsa cabinet. So… I moved the filament runout sensor to just above the print head. 
By doing that i could save filament when a runout is detected, and remove weight from the gantry as well. 

Cabinet prepare instructions:
To be continued… :)

Parts list:
1x Runout Sensor Print Head Mount
1x Runout Sensor Print Head Mount - Washer
1x Runout Sensor Chamber - Buttom Part
1x Runout Sensor Chamber - Top Part
1x Spool Holder - Stand - Back Left
1x Spool Holder - Stand - Back Right
1x Spool Holder - Stand - Front Left
1x Spool Holder - Stand - Front Right
2x Spool Holder - Rod
4x Spool Holder - Nut
4x Spool Holder - Bearing Interfacing Bolt (Fully 3D Printed or 608 Edition)
4x Spool Holder - Bearing (Fully 3D Printed or 608 Edition


Print instructions:

All files prints very nicely on the Ender V3 KE.
The only things i changed in the print settings are the following:

- Build Plate Adhesion (Brim)
- Support Structure
- Support Pattern
- Infill Density
- Infill Pattern

Follow the below matrix to achieve the same great results as i got:
