Yeah, but not even slightly flame resistant, I prefer that quality in things I intend to wrap electrically powered heat generating moving objects inside. At least this enclosure I'm using has a small but probably useful amount of fire resistance. I am also a jank-enjoyer though: my printer had its guts spread out on the table next to it for years... in retrospect it sucked. I will not ever do that again other than in the short term. I guess it was a necessary experiential phase.
Umbilical control boards also suck in a similar way when you have no hard frame to attach everyhting to.

Theres also two other blowers inside the box blasting the relevant bits directly, which isnt ideal, but its extremely stable thermally. I havent had it running in 33C summers, but in 20C winter its a very steady 38-40C inside the enclosure.
What I've done with the blowers and diesel hose works nicely, and its still easy to just lift the entire printer out of the tent after unplugging power and eth. Refining the blower hose and screen connector is on the todo list.

lol, no, i'd design something myself. In the same way that "everybody in the world is an idiot except me": everyones 3d designs suck, except mine...after i redesign and reprint them 15 times before it works adequately enough that it stays installed and I'm over it.
Also I enjoy the process far too much.
Besides; theres probably a lot more people designing stuff for creality printers, people whos designs arent as crap as the stuff that got designed almost a decade ago for this old anycubic. Not that any of my control boards are even original anyway.
Have you seen any decent MKS SKIPR umbilical cases? (Thats a genuine question)

I'm pretty happy with this janky printer resurrection, and cheapo enclosure. It's been quite a long time getting to this point after abandoning it for years, and now it works nicely.
Time to start looking at the pile of coreXY stuff on the 3rd workbench again.

anycubic i3 mega...frame. Pretty much everything else except the PSU is me frankensteining it.
I put its guts inside it on the weekend. So it's a little more presentable now.
