The original enclosure of SV08 is, in my opinion, a bit too expensive, or rather, it offers too little value for money. Therefore, I thought I would try my luck and design my own enclosure, which was created under the premise of minimal monetary expense.
For replication, you will need a 3D printer (which you have) and a laser cutter to cut the wood panels (4mm). (Printing the panels would also be possible, but I would wait a few more days as I will then release a fully redesigned printable enclosure.)
If time permits, I will also publish a small assembly guide (video) to illustrate the assembly, which is not particularly difficult. This project is still under development, so please be a little patient. Additionally, it is intended to serve as an incentive for you, and improvements, further developments, and modifications are expressly welcome.
Attention: This enclosure is still under development.
You need supports to print the models.
The right orientation, number, support and mirroring of the models is mapped in the attached .3mf-file.
The top lit is remixed form the original Sovol parts you can find it on Sovol SV08 completely closed top lit. I closed the ventilation holes and closed the design to use a top down filament guide. If you want to use the original spool holder from the right side you need to use the original parts you can find on SV08 | Sovol 3D Printer Wiki under SV08 Printing Upgrade Parts “Top Extension lit”.
If someone wants to do me a favor, please design a cool door-closing mechanism for the doors. Mine is very poor and will also be upgraded in a few days.
Update 3:
The heat bed of the SV08 is pretty big and due to its size it warps more, especially on higher temperatures, than smaller beds. So if you print advanced material (ASA, ABS, PC, …) preheating is pretty essential if to avoid a deformation or adhesion problems. To automate this process I wrote a little script Adaptive Print Bed Heating Delay to automate the process and make it a bit smarter and less time consuming, especially if you canceled and restartet the print an the plate is already preheated.
Update 2:
Due to the constant heat and the Sunlu S2 filament drier that I placed on top, the top panels started bending a bit. I already expected this, so I designed a stabilizer for the top panels. Just unscrew the grips, align the stabilizer and drill some screws through the panels in the stabilizer. They fit pretty tight but that is necessary to push the panels up.
Update 1:
Added a new locking mechanism. It ist still no masterpiece but keeps the doors locked.
You need 8 x neodym magnets (10 x 2).
Pause the printer at 11mm and 17mm to insert the magnets.
Have fun.
