I, too, am designing an enclosure for my printer, as it's getting relocated to the basement. I don't have any materials yet, just the plans. It'll be made out of 3/4 inch plywood, all the electronics mounted on the outside, with a RaspberryPi for printer control, camera and web access.printerbox4.jpgprinterbox2.jpg
The printer will be mounted to a square of plywood which can slide in and out of the box for maintenance. Lights and a webcam will be on the inside so prints can be monitored without needing to open the box. Internal dimensions will be 2ft cubed, plus a little extra in the Z to accommodate the printer shelf. I intend to have some flexible tubing connecting to the rear of the box and to the hotend fan to prevent overheat jams.

Hello

new to this forum; got a 10" pegasus recently and figured I'd share what I've done so far.

I configured Marlin 1.1.0 RC3 for it; if anyone else has a pegasus I'm maintaining my updates here: https://github.com/quixotic120/MFMarlin . I also maintain a log of my mods there with images where appropriate: https://github.com/quixotic120/MFMar...ee/master/mods

First mod was the endstops; drilled the mounting holes out to 3mm and bolted them down instead of using the zip ties. I also removed the roller bars because I found them to have a bit too much play, however I would suggest leaving it on the Y axis because the play doesn't matter as much there and its a pain to align without the bar.

I cleaned up the power supply a bit after that; added a C14 socket with switch for the power cable and printed an endcap/mounts for the PS

I then replaced the cruddy plate glass I got initially with 3mm borosilicate. With this I fashioned new clamps out of ring crimps that fit under the screws on the corners of the heat bed. I retained the binder clips but went with much smaller ones (~10mm from edge of bed) because the heat bed was not making good contact with the glass but I might replace these with firmer insulation.

next I printed a new fan shroud that uses 1 40mm fan instead of 2 30mm fans (dual extruders). This was unintentional; it was because I am dumb and broke fins out of both 30mm fans by accidentally hitting them. They still spun but were out of balance and made a horrid noise. I went with 40mm because I had that on hand over buying more 30mm fans. I also added a fan guard to avoid this repeating itself. I'm going to probably redo this later as the fit is not ideal. While I was doing this I added an 80mm fan to my ramps board.

I added lighting at this point and started really cleaning up the wiring. The lighting is basic, a few LEDs around the frame with an SPST switch. The wiring is definitely much better but still kind of crappy.

The last two weeks I went on a bit of a tear: I got lucky at micro center and arrived right after they took a delivery of raspberry pi zeros so I set up octopi plus a case. Trying to find time to set up a camera I just got too. I had ordered some stuff that finally came in so I also set up auto bed leveling with a servo (as per zennmaster's guide), added an SSR to allow PID control of my heat bed, and replaced my z-rod brackets with an anti-backlash mount I found on thingiverse.

Next I want to build an enclosure and I'm also looking at replacing the threaded rods with lead screws but I'm not sure if thats worth the money. My threaded rods are super wobbly though.
