Howdy all,
I was having horrible warping problems when printing ABS. From this great forum I learned that the root cause of my warping issues was cold, my printer lives in my workshop in the garage and tho heated was way too cold for things to print properly.
I decided to build an enclosure for my i3v 8 inch printer. I started with a simple cardboard box lined with aluminum foil as a test, and it worked wonders my prints improved by leaps and bounds.
I then decided I needed to build a prettier enclosure this is the result:

It's made from 3/4" aluminum angle for the frame the side panels are 1/4" foam board with aluminum foil glued to the inside faces. The corner pieces and the hinges are 3d prints designed by me. I'm pretty happy with the result it holds heat well and though compact everything fits where i wanted.
