It would take way too much time and cost to make that fully 3d printed enclosure. I can't see any benefit of it being a modular enclosure. It's not practical for something so specific to be modular.
Wood is cheap!

I was afraid that was going to be the answer, guess I will just have to do like everyone else seems to do and that is get the printer and use it first before I build an enclosure out of wood. I had been debating what color to paint my printer when I get it, and even if I should paint it, then as I was showing my wife various pics of enclosures from this thread she asked if I need to put a clear door on it. She wants a solid door so she "doesn't have to look at all those wires and gears and stuff" So that will radically change my enclosure design.
Have you any of you seen this? It looks like it just sits in the enclosure and scrubs the air. Could work in any enclosure I think.

Yeah I agree with your logic, it's best to see how printing works and what you will want to incorporate in your enclosure after you've been printing for a bit.
You can always do this and put an octoprint/raspberry pi webcam in there to view the printing online. Also it would cost about the same as a plexiglass sheet to buy all the stuff needed for an octoprint setup
I'd be surprised if this works well enough to not need ventilation at all. In his description he mentions that you should still ventilate.

Ha! Yeah maybe 2 octopi setups!
I'm going to be using 8mm thick glass I'm re-purposing from a broken digital bathroom scale as my "view port". I'm going to frame it with wood and use that as the door. I was going to use plexi but to me it just doesn't make sense to spend that much on a door.
