OK, I get your point. I need a way to print cold as well. I plan to make a stand out of 8020 quickframe. I'll work out a way to make the panels easily removable for access around the printer. I've learned the hard way that you should always make your equipment as accessible as possible.
the trick to pla is cooling fast, so that;s one material that you don't want to print in an enclosed setup.

back to the cold smoking - thing - that I know a LOT about.

what sort of setup are you talking about ?
I have a Green Mountain Grill tailgate smoker (live in an apartment). I built a cold smoker attachment using a section of stovepipe, There is nowhere underneath to pipe the smoke into the smoker so I want to make something that is going to both block a partially open lid and direct the smoke in and down/around the items I wish to smoke.

I could probably MacGyver something from existing materials, but a 3d printed manfold would be much more elegant.
