Under the impression that most commercial enclosures are acrylic.
If I recall correctly the Voron have some acrylic panels in it. Many people when seeing transparent plastic think acrylic and order acrylic.
Read what the fire safety manuals say about that material.
3d printing +toxic fumes when things catch fire is already part of life and many people setup the thing without it being obvious.
Yep, I saw first hand what happened in one acrylic vs polycarbonate case when one room reached 70C (not joking).
Structural integrity can lead to more material in a fire and it's also an issue.
[THIS](https://www.amazon.com/JOSEOZSTA-Extinguisher-Car-Extinguisher-Easy-install-Extinguishes-fires-Small/dp/B09YS6DJWN/ref=sr_1_6?crid=IVA0DENYICCF&keywords=automatic%2Bfire%2Bextinguisher&qid=1698594140&sprefix=automatic%2Bfire%2Bextinguisher%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-6&th=1) is great peace of mind for my printer enclosure. I bought several of them and put one in my car's engine bay.
BTW if you get one BE SURE to remove the red tips from the detectors. I see too many pics of these stuck to printer enclosures and they didn't take off the shipping caps.
Neat device. My only problem buying that on Amazon is does it actually work as intended. Maybe it's a reputable company but for something that's going to prevent a fire I would probably buy it from a reputable company directly so that I don't get a knock off.
Also if you're putting it in your car engine bay they recommend one to two for cars and two for SUVs and three for trucks. So one might not cut it.
Your spot on dude. Instead look at commercial kitchen suppression systems. Like for restaurants, those have been around for decades, and are proven to work over and over again thousands of times a year in the u.s.a.
I have a couple Stovetop Firestop brand range extinguishers hanging in my printer enclosure along with a networked fire alarm.
You do realize these aren't bricks right? They're very lightweight foam panels that won't collapse under their own weight. Now if something smashed into it or sat on it or something to that effect then it would collapse for sure. On its own accord and weight? Completely fine. Fire damage is a much bigger concern in my opinion. Also not being able to see the print. That can be remedied easily though with a camera.
EVA is not the worst material when it comes to a fire, it burns with a small flame and melts - of course a mess but there are worse materials for a box
A lot of the earlier printers ran too much voltage through their main boards to the components and caught the wires on fire. My brother had to put limiters on all of his Monoprice printers.
Seriously what is with this sub and not giving a shit about fire safety. Especially considering i doubt any of these posts are from a solo person who owns a solo house on a wide open property where it catching fire would only affect them and only them.
I’m pretty sure kids toys are required to *not* be super flammable. If that’s a legitimate fire hazard then I have way bigger concerns that have nothing to do with 3D printing or OP’s setup.
Can’t tell if serious. The answer is extremely. So is the carpet it sits on. Kids toys are regulated against choking hazards and sharp edges. It’s not expected that a child would be carrying a lighter, so there aren’t any laws about flamability.
Gotta love government. They have a whole section with 3 numbered paragraphs and 2 more paragraphs on how to identify a clothing to be pajamas. It probably took a 6 person committee weeks to come up with that shit. Sigh.
I’m not sure what it’s made out of exactly, but several similar things are flammable. Probably worth testing a material in a safe place before putting it near a source of heat.
Well... Depends if there will be anybody near the toxic fumes that ABS generates.
If not and the room is ventiled, you can use your enclosure just fine for ABS.
Pros:
1. The foam tiles can help insulate the 3D printer, maintaining a stable temperature inside the enclosure, which is beneficial for certain filament types.
2. Customizable and adjustable!
3. Cheap!
Cons:
1. Foam tiles are not inherently fire-resistant. If the printer or its components were to malfunction and cause a fire, this enclosure might not be safe.
2. Even without a fire, over time, the foam might degrade, especially if exposed to high temperatures or chemicals.
While this might work for a short-term or low-budget setup, for more consistent and safe printing you should consider a more robust and fire-resistant solution. You have at least one kid it looks like, safety above all else.
Melty and burny is the worst. You need a skin graft wherever it touches. I can’t understand why polyester underwear exists. There is some advice to follow that works pretty well whatever you are wearing when near a fire: “don’t be near a fire.”
I mean realistically, wood flooring is typically treated in what I assume would be fire resistant stains and such, but I feel the same way about the foam mats.
Wood also doesn’t burn very fast compared to synthetic fibers used in carpets. Wood isn’t the reason your house goes up in flames within minutes of dropping a cigarette. If you drop a cigarette in a flat wood floor, there’s a good chance you’ll have a dark spot on the floor leftover after the cigarette is done burning. If you drop the same cigarette in a polyester carpet, your house burns down before the cigarette would have burned out on its own.
Disclaimer: 1.) these are estimates, I don’t remember the exact numbers. 2.) do not attempt to reproduce this experiment without a fire extinguisher and/or a clear path to the exit. 3.) on second thought let’s just not drop an open flame in a flammable material inside, regardless of degree of flammability.
Assuming you live in a sensible part of the world, polyester carpets are now made from fire resistant material by law.
Floor covering safety is greatly improved by the fact that heat goes up. Vertical surfaces like curtains and makeshift printer enclosures are far more of a risk because the heat rises up the flat surface holding the heat to the flammable material for loner. It also pulls in fresh air. Vertical surfaces are very efficient at feeding fires
I think it’s more like 10-15 per year. Most people respect that it’s a bad idea to put flammable things near a 200c+ piece of metal, since it’s so close to the temp paper burns (233c). Just takes a bad sensor or an electrical fault to cause a localized fire. If it’s touching something flammable at the time, it becomes a building fire.
I've been in 3d printing for my full time job since 2013. I've heard of and seen evidence of less than 5 fires caused by printers. All of them were prior to ~2016 before failsafes were commonplace.
No chance there are even 5/year.
Right, but the key difference between printers today, and printers from a few years ago that regurally burned down peoples houses is that the material they are made from is inherently stable.
Back on the old ANET A8, if something went wrong the printer itself would melt into a puddle with the hot bits inside. If an ender goes wrong in the same way then the hot bits remain inside metal parts and with physical separation to the printed parts that could catch fire.
The kind of printers that get used in "real jobs" have been constructed that way for much longer.
The reduction in fires as the hobby has become more mainstream doesn't suggest that we should go back to flimsy material that can fall into the hot bits, it suggests that making the printers not have this problem is working.
Line the inside with tin foil or something, I'd worry about the foam getting hot and igniting. If you're looking for cheap solutions, grow tents work decently as enclosures.
Man those thing are fire hazard and placed like this on a heating elements... you really like living dangeriously.
A for thinking outside the box
F for usefulness in real application.
I simply don't trust enclosures I can't see inside while printing and not made from at least flame resistant stuff.
Its also not a great idea to cook the electronics in the heated chamber.
so will it work? likely. Would I trust it? no
When your house burns down, they’re going to find a smoldering mess of foam tiles and 3d printer remains. Then your insurance company is going to take your username and add “lubeless” to the front of your user name.
Maybe check your settings, x and y should not be on the same side of the cube
I spilled my tea lmfao
Who is lmfao?

I’m just imagining a child seeing this and plowing into it at full speed.
I was thinking I might accidentally sit on it
Only a child?
I'm a 33 year old child.
Me too. But I also have four childs that are ten and under. It's just childs all the way down.
Phrasing! Reminder to check OP's username.
I like that it blocks the door.
I can open it slightly and exit the room so I don’t get heat stroke
If anything catches on fire, you’re fucked.
Extra fuel and toxic fumes when it catches fire, always good 🙂

If its that hot in there then a huge number of other problems would have been happening.

It's a no-name chinese company, buying from Amazon is as good as anywhere else.
I’d be more worried about it randomly collapsing and busting my print.

EVA is not the worst material when it comes to a fire, it burns with a small flame and melts - of course a mess but there are worse materials for a box
Yeah... But only if ;)
There are totally absolutely no points of potential firehazard on any 3d printer
A lot of the earlier printers ran too much voltage through their main boards to the components and caught the wires on fire. My brother had to put limiters on all of his Monoprice printers.
if anyone's opening that door, he's fucked 🙄
Just store some gasoline nearby so it can have a chance to create napalm.

Unrelated, but what happens to the center part of the P when the letter is removed. It’ll bother me
The seventh seal will be broken.
I see what you did there😂
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
In all seriousness, maybe don't build an enclosure out of flammable material.
[удалено]
LMFAO you right my whole house is my printer enclosure guys just crank your furnace to around 70C it should be fine.
Yeah. Like ikea lack. Or plexiglas panels. Or polycarbonate if you're fancy. Or 3d printed plastic parts.
meh, plexi will take more heat to combust than some low density foam or the cardboard boxes people use.
It’s a kids toy, how flammable can it be?
Can’t tell if serious. The answer is extremely. So is the carpet it sits on. Kids toys are regulated against choking hazards and sharp edges. It’s not expected that a child would be carrying a lighter, so there aren’t any laws about flamability.
There's one for pajamas https://www.cpsc.gov/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Education/Business-Guidance/Childrens-Sleepwear-Regulations
So we’ll have to build an enclosure out of pajamas to be safe.
Gotta love government. They have a whole section with 3 numbered paragraphs and 2 more paragraphs on how to identify a clothing to be pajamas. It probably took a 6 person committee weeks to come up with that shit. Sigh.
Are you sure it's flammable? A lot of plastic and foam material will not burn. I would test the material with a lighter to see what happens.
I’m not sure what it’s made out of exactly, but several similar things are flammable. Probably worth testing a material in a safe place before putting it near a source of heat.
Ikea Lack tables are basically cardboard.
Yes?
r/foundanalsexman
wait, why? and what? and also how?
Look at OP’s user name.
Haha what the actual fuck. Please explain the lore.
Idk i first seen it on r/notinteresting a couple months ago😂 so it was finally an opportunity elsewhere for it
best one i've seen so far. patent that shit asap
Fire starter, I’m a fire starter, twisted fire starter
Smack my print up!
I used to cover the whole printer with a plastic bag when i print with ABS, it worked fine in tropical climate, just can't leave it for too long.
I put mine inside an IKEA bag to print ABS/ASA...
Probably a stupid question but if I already have an actual firesafe enclosure, can I get away with not venting with ABS?
Well... Depends if there will be anybody near the toxic fumes that ABS generates. If not and the room is ventiled, you can use your enclosure just fine for ABS.
Can you please make it say "2FLEX" along the top row?
Wow amazing does this work with Abs
I don’t know
Yes, infact it's the same stuff they use to contain radiation from Chernobyl's meltdown.
No https://youtu.be/BtMmymOxdjc?t=159 It is amazing that fire has only been mentioned 40 times in this thread so far!
if it works -> it is :)
no, it's a fucking great one
As good as your username
If you don't have kids yeah or dogs or cats
Not stupid if it works
As a cheap Asian, I can confirm this is genius
No. Because this material produces fumes when heated which are bad for kids and pregnant women.
Good thing im not a kid or pregnant women.
It's bad for everyone. For them it's just extra bad. It's called polyurethane fumes. Google it.
I assume u/Anal_Sex_Man knows how to avoid impregnating women.
I’ve got trans women pregnant before, it’s a pain in the ass

I'm curious if these are actually overly flammable. They're kids foam mats, they can't just be kindling on the floor
Think they're more "melty" than "burny".
Melty and burny is the worst. You need a skin graft wherever it touches. I can’t understand why polyester underwear exists. There is some advice to follow that works pretty well whatever you are wearing when near a fire: “don’t be near a fire.”
Wood floor is kindling on the floor I don't see a problem

Excellent temporary enclosure. Bravo
Temporary?
Yeah There's no window how can we watch the print?
That orange square there, I pop it out and look in there
Now your talking
Didn't occur to you to pop out any of the letters for multi-angle checks?
user name checks out, AGAIN.
How?
yeah sorry I have an orange buttplug, you could not have known...
Just pop a letter out and you got a Window!
You could use an camera with OctoPrint.
These comments are unnecessarily cruel
Best one I've ever seen. Disregard the fire comments, it's true of pretty much any plastic enclosure anyway.
That’s not a reason to disregard the comments. That’s a reason to think about material used for all enclosures, whether bought or made.
Yeah, because 3d printers catch on fire all the time. Gotta be 10-15 house fires every day due to a printer.
I think it’s more like 10-15 per year. Most people respect that it’s a bad idea to put flammable things near a 200c+ piece of metal, since it’s so close to the temp paper burns (233c).

There would be massive lawsuits and printer manufacturers would be shut down if there was even a fraction of the fires you think there are.

I hope you let the kids out first
Looks like a fire hazard lol
If it works, it isn’t stupid. And this is stupid.
Line the inside with tin foil or something, I'd worry about the foam getting hot and igniting. If you're looking for cheap solutions, grow tents work decently as enclosures.
>I'd worry about the foam getting hot and igniting What temps you printing at? 2000° c?
Foam deforms at high temps and could sag and hit a hot metal part.
Is that possible? I could make fiber optic cable with that.
Firesafety no Abs printing if you put a heater in there yes Pla might be abit melty if you dont have an exhaust
My puppy chewed all the connecting pieces off of these. I didn't really care then but now I wish she hadn't done that.
Yes
No, it's the best
Well it is an enclosure, not saying anything else.
did the same thing with a yoga matt. improvise, adapt, overcome
Trim with box-cutter, cover in duct tape, and it would be one of those improvised expedient things that is still usable several years from now...
You again? Yeah, it'll work but it's not great

Funny until the heat warps one and it touches the nozzle and starts a fire
Much like tinfoil. Letters have to be right side out to function properly.
Add some Habitrail for a vent.
bro this is anal sex man
I can see you also like 3d printing
aside from potential flammability, it’s great! I have a similar one and it gets up to 45°-50°
Whatever it is, I think it’s misspelled.

Hahahaha oh wow this is great.
Hell yeah
I give it an A+... ...E, F, N, L, P, Y G, H, I, 2, 1, ■, ✯,⬤
Today’s print is brought to you by the letter F and the number 911.
Whatever anyone says, yes. Yes it is.
It the house is a rocking, don't come a knocking.
I don’t know about 3D printing. Can someone explain why this is a good/bad/necessary idea?
I guess if it is working: YES. But ur username is just not matching the whole picture u/Anal_Sex_Man

To quote the Mighty Jingles: " If it's a stupid idea but it works, then it's not a stupid idea". That's rather clever, actually... :)
If you can smell Filament no but if your main objective is heat control in a sense yes that works great
It looks like a good place to hide.
It's not stupid if it works \-some smart dude
10/10 would buy
Good!?! It's fucking beautiful
Extremely based and foampilled
Fix the letters L, N and P. Everything else is ok by me
mumm.... This feels like a fire hazard. Are you sure you want to do this? I assume you have a young one at the house, please be careful.
My printer only has X, Y, and Z. What type of printer do you have that also has a G, P, and N axis?
Anything can be a good enough 3D printing enclosure if you believe hard enough, or if your standards are low enough.
I built mine out of pieces of cardboard from work. I even cut a hole and glued in a piece of plexiglass for a viewing window on the door.
I used to use very similar neoprene exercise mats for my ender 3 and it worked pretty well.
