Page 3: Before You Start
You Really Do Want to Read the Directions Hey, we get it. You just got your new enclosure kit and want to start using it as fast as possible. How hard can assembling a few plastic panels possibly be? Its not really that hard, assuming you’re following the directions, but try to use brute force and you’ll end up working your way through your vocabulary of swear words. - Page 4 Don’t Panic If You See This! If you can’t see through the plastic, please don’t panic! What you’re seeing is just the plastic or paper protective covering. You, dear customer, are way too smart to think the plastic is flawed and then call and email us over and over again.

- Page 6 Assemble Panels 1. Attach The Front Door Frame Corners Each of the corners on the enclosure will be held together by the connectors pictured below. There are only two versions L and R, which can be identified by the letters stamped on the inside.
- Page 7 The CR-10 Pro version also has smaller connectors at the top and right side when viewed from the front. The front should look like the picture to the right. 2. Assemble Front Door Locate the magnetic latches and use the wood screws to attach them to the latch mounts.
- Page 8 Attach the door knob by first inserting the square M4 nut into the slot. Use a 16mm cap head screw to attach the door. Now that the latches are mounted it is time to connect the strike plates. Each plate comes with a squishy adhesive covering the same size of the plate.
- Page 9 As with the front door, adjust how the door hangs by loosening the hinge screws, using the strike plates to hold the door to the latches, and then tightening the hinge screws. The final step for the left side is to locate the left-vent and attach using two M4 10mm screws and nuts.
- Page 10 4. Assemble Back The back of the enclosure when viewed from the back is shown to the right. The four corner connectors are mirror images of the front. The large hole is either for an air filter (purchased separately) or can be covered up 3D printing a cover using M4 10mm screws.
- Page 11 Now attach the back to the assembled left and front panels, which should look like the illustration to the right. Because this is a CR-10S Pro, you’re not done yet. Locate the three back vent ports that will draw air through the electronics case.
- Page 12 Before attaching the 80mm fan, plug it in and verify that the direction is oriented to pull air through the vent out of the enclosure. Then use the 40mm Cap Head screws to attach the fan to the vent port. Observe the screw orientations in the picture to the right.
- Page 13 5. Attach Top Use access through the doors to attach the top of the enclosure using M4 10mm screws. 6. Attach Right Side The right side has a front vent port for air flow, and a rear square vent to access the power supply and off/on switch.

- Page 15 7. Sealing Gaps Once the enclosure is completely put together, it is time to make sure that each of the panels is held tightly to each adjoining panel. The connectors are designed with a small amount of play that allows you to make small adjustments for the perfect fit. 1.

- Page 17 9. Managing Enclosure Temperatures There's not much to a 3D printer enclosure. Although ours look fancy, functionally they're not much different than putting a cardboard box over the printers since both designs are passively heated by the beds. How complicated can they be? This section will explain a little about how they work, and how to manage the temperatures to get quality prints while protecting your lungs.
- Page 18 Room Temperature Passively heated enclosures are completely dependent on the room temperature as a starting point. If you're trying to print ABS in an unheated garage in the winter the temperature inside the enclosure is never going to get hot enough. The reason is the bed heater has only enough energy to increase temps from the baseline.
- Page 19 all of the volatile organic compounds coming off the hot end? The key is the negative pressure combined with the fact that the particles are extremely small and light. As you can see, the fan keeps the air flowing in and the harmful particles flowing into the vent or filter.
- Page 20 Let Us Help If you're looking to achieve a particular temperature with your enclosure, let us know and we'll give some advice on how to manage, but it's really not that hard: Lower Temperature = More Cold Air Higher Temperature = Less Cold Air Pro Tip: measure your current temperatures before attempting to make any changes.
