Description

PDF

Attention - please read the update below.

 

This model is the cover for the Prusa XL which can be easily created and extended for little money. The printer is of course fully operational with the cover and the cover allows to collect all fumes from printing as well as protecting the printer from dust.

The cover is mostly made from cardboard with a few printed parts. Cardboard cutting instructions are in the attached PDF.

The  PDF also explains in detail why the cover is useful&healthy.

Oh and - sorry, but there are only very few printable parts for this, but it can be easily extended with printable parts!

Update 08/28/2024

I was chasing a problem  for months and was just informed by Prusa that if one uses an enclosure, parts of the nextruder might need to be updated with PC-CF parts if the temperature for the toolheads exceeds some magic number (38C(?)). So be careful if you use any closed cover/enclosure - or -  print these following parts with PC-CF first:
