This week I made a cabinet for my two Ultimaker 3d printers. The cabinet is fully sound insulated and has air circulation as well as temperature monitoring built inn.

I just used a couple of these to monitor the temperature inside the chamber: amzn.to/2wDTyc2
I've since changes out one of the printers with this much cheaper and much bigger printer - I love it and i think its a really great value for money: amzn.to/2utvOqn
This is the 3d printer on the left: ultimaker.com/...
Some of my favorite tools:
The best orbital sander: amzn.to/2xglSBs
Bosch track saw: amzn.to/2Q07Bj7
Drill: amzn.to/3cKVXCr
Impact driver: amzn.to/2VZFGDp
Jigsaw: amzn.to/2vQtbj1
Biscuit jointer: amzn.to/333GzfY

Woah nice cabinet. You could probably also use some strong Neodymium Magnets to keep the doors closed! It would look even cleaner!

@benargee 3 года назад

Push in pop out magnets are probably better. No need to pull the door open with a handle.

@Cruto94 3 года назад

Cleaner indeed, but i would be worried that it pops open once unobserved - some huge abs print might fail then - but nice idea anyways!

@benargee 3 года назад

@@Cruto94 It's not a novel idea and the mechanism works in the same manner as a retractable pen. It's very common on glass doors without handles. It's tried and tested. As for magnet strength, spec it for the application and you will never have issues.

Exactly, 3D printers don't produce noise, that's a melody....:D

@TheDrmastermind 3 года назад

it's not noise. It's singing to me about how happy it is

@WayneEarls 4 года назад

Sometimes the printers can overheat if there's not enough ventilation in a cabinet. ABS needs to print hot, but some videos have shown that an enclosure isn't really necessary, and can be worse than open air on the printer. I'm glad you addressed that problem. Good work.

@tcratius1748 3 года назад

Let me just say it is way better than I could do. Just like to point out a tip I got from a professional cabinet printing maker is that 3d printing likes to be at a constant temp. Best way to do that is to recirculate the air out then back into the printing environment, in a closed loop. The air going out along a piece of ducting is enough to reduce its temp by a degree or two before getting pumped straight back in. Currently you are pulling cold air greater than a few degrees in to replace the hot air, and printing material doesn't like that. :) That said, it is working well so totally thumbs up from me and cheers for the vid 👍

@ein57ein 3 года назад

I did go the IKEA way for a cabinet for my 3d printer. I used a IKEA kitchen cabinet 60*204 made for build in oven. Have drawers under the printer and shelf above to hold the rolls of plastic. But nice work 👍

@BeardedPete 2 года назад

yeah thinking doing the same, something from Ikea, to just buy everything ready do go. Can though use the insulation foam and seal around door, and pull out shelf to that. very smart. Window i don't need, even though it could also be done.

@janbroz4681 3 года назад

Good job, btw that pyramid foam is not sound absorbing but it rather prevents sound from reflecting from it. the foam on the door is much better for sound isolation

@bucho2398 3 года назад

What's the technical name for the foam he placed in the door? I've been looking arround and mainly find the sound absortion tiles used in the music industry (I'll be using those for the walls and ceiling of my box) I'm looking for that foam to place under the printer to reduce the vibration of the printer itself

@maxsnts 4 года назад

Noooooo, not those ugly latches!! :( When a saw the strip in the gap of the doors i thought that you would keep the doors shut with magnets. Place the magnets on the strip and then on the doors.

@skyedangelo3237 4 года назад

was thinking the same thing, perfect hidden latch opportunity..

@tnewbssledder 4 года назад

Came to say the same thing. Everything is crazy well done then he just throws some garden gate latches on it

@blackjacko 4 года назад

Yes me too, that downgraded the project. I would have gone with the push pull magnetic latches hidden on the inside

@av8shunmeckaneck 4 года назад

Push to latch/unlatch style latches.

@derrickwilliams2903 3 года назад

While I agree they don't look awesome, you can see he applies a fair amount of force when closing the doors in order to get a good seal against the weatherstripping. It would probably need to be something more substantial than magnets. There are other options, though.

@TheNightArcher 3 года назад

Okay, the little whistle the doors make when you close them is amazing (heard a smidge before 13:00)

@aidenfindley8565 4 года назад

@nbasse 3 года назад

I see that this video is quite old now, so you might already know this by now, but in case you don't: at least one of your printer needs a new set of belts. The belts you have are worn out and have stretched and thus they ride on the high points of the pulleys and the fall down again, making that clocking sound. This of course affects the print quality. Just let me know if you have any questions about the printers. I have worked with repairing Ultimaker for the Swedish company that distributes them in the Nordic 😉 And by the way, I really like your videos! I have soon watched all your old ones and like the new as well 😀

@logmegadeth72 3 года назад

Thank you! I've experienced the same problem. A new set of belts makes the printer nice and quiet again.

you might want to look into etiher moving the electronics and psu out of the enclosure or adding some form of cooling since high temps can damage or degrade them

@timo_photo 3 года назад

so a little late to the party. but for a fan controller you can use one made for 5.25 in drive bay. they usually have additional temperature sensors and you can do per area cooling with up to 5 fans. as for printing what about using something like a lenovo mini (like the m900) to act as a central server to store prints before sending them off to the printer, and remote in to begin them. i know these printers usually have wifi or sd card slots but it might be a nice addition.

Nice build, my only concern is the fire hazard. Personally would have done it with fireproof sound isolating foam. Other than that great work. // Neighbour from Sweden :)

@Arterexius 3 года назад

It'll need an open flame to catch fire. The black insulation is most likely bought here, as I have some of it myself: www.thomann.de/dk/adam_hall_acoustic_foam_absorber_30mm.htm The thicker insulation is just Car insulation from Biltema. It'll need some pretty high temperatures to catch fire. Higher than what most 3D printers can produce, unless you place the Titan Aqua/Aero hotend from e3D directly on the insulation and heats it up to the 500 degrees it can reach.

@the_natrix9959 4 года назад

Just an observation: Do you have a Pathway(filtered) for air to pass through the cabinet? If not then you are simply trying to create a negative pressure chamber vs. moving air through to remove warmed air. That is possibly why you have noticed very little/zero internal ambient temperature changes. Did I miss that (installation of adequate filtered through venting somewhere in the video? You may notice more issue once printing very toxic off-gassing mat'l. thanks!

They were only quiet when they ran on so low power that they practically were off. Switched to Be Quiet!s Pure Wings and already rocks some Silent Wings too. However, Noctua still makes some pretty OP fans and the sound difference between Noctua and Be Quiet! is practically non existing.

You don't get Ultimakers to mess around with them. You get them because they are absolutely rock solid and just keep going hour after hour. At least with a few minor upgrades. The most advanced maintenance I do on mine is recalibrate the bed every few hundred hours or so. That said, I've basically replaced the entire feeder and hotend assembly on mine because if the UM2s have a fault, it's the horrid 2,85mm filament. The filament size was easily the cause of 95% of the headache I had with mine.

Having the Ultimakers resting on foam, the electronics below will get really hot. The drivers don't like that. (Mine have clearly visible burn marks on the PCB after a few years)

@Arterexius 3 года назад

I'm not familiar with Ultimaker (having an Ender 3 Pro myself), but it should be possible to move the electronics to an uninsulated part of the cabinet and run wires from the electronics and to the printer with extensions. There's a lot of Ender 3 and E3 Pro owners who do that, myself included. It should be possible to find extension cables online and then possibly print (or make) a new case for the electronics.

@logmegadeth72 3 года назад

@@Arterexius That's entirely possible but with the design of the UM2 it would be much easier to just remove the foam and place them directly on the drawer. That would at least allow some airflow to the electronics underneath. Since they're in a sound proof cabinet you can also add a cooling fan for the board without worrying about the increase in noise.

For anyone coming here asking about the insulation. The black foam insulation is probably this: www.thomann.de/adam_hall_acoustic_foam_absorber_30mm.htm And the thicker insulation is car insulation bought from Biltema. Biltema is though only accessible for people living in either Sweden, Norway, Finland or Denmark (where I'm from), but you should be able to find some yourself, if you live outside the mentioned countries.
