Message from the founder of 3DUPfitters
I'd been keeping three 3D printers busy nearly 24/7 in my home for a while, and it didn't bother me. But when a significant other moved into the house, they noticed right away: the smell of plastic permeated everything. So I read up on indoor air quality and concluded the long-term effects of breathing in plastic fumes couldn't be healthy, especially for kids.
Since enclosures can both reduce fumes and help give you better results, the answer was a win-win for everyone. But once you automate making three, it's easy to make more, so I bought extra acrylic and put up a website.
There are many DIY enclosure projects out there. But for those of you who would rather be actually getting stuff done rather than figuring out how to make a DIY enclosure, these kits are beautiful, furniture-grade, easy-to-assemble 3D printer enclosures and accessories.
We combine customer-centered engineering with attractive design, top-quality materials, and excellent customer service. As a result, our customers include the top tier in the technology, transportation, and education sectors as well as traditional schools, small businesses, libraries, and hobbyists.
| Custom Made for Your Enclosure | Don't put your equipment in a big box that's one size fits all! We start by actually purchasing the 3D printer and taking it apart to figure out how the power supply, board, hot end, and fans work together. Using that knowledge, we design an enclosure and verify the basic functionality using CAD modeling before doing extensive testing in our lab. |

Electronics Temperature Management |
We were the first to create a negative airflow model in an equipment enclosure, using vents to bring cool air to the electronics. The days when you'd have to disassemble the case and remove the power supply and motherboard are gone. |
| Made in America from Premium American Made Materials | We manufacture in Greensboro, NC using Plaskolite acrylic made in Columbus, Ohio, premium 3D printer filament from Atomic Filament made in Ligonier, Indiana, and boxes by Package Crafters in High Point, NC, made from recycled and original cardboard from wood grown in NC. Most other parts are sourced from local Triad NC distributors Piedmont Fasteners and IPS Packaging. |
