Frame
& Enclosure
Design
& Suppliers
For the Structural Frame I'm going to utilize the UConduit
design of corner bracket/clamps using O-rings with EMT (Conduit) steel
tubing. I intend to print ABS using this printer and to minimize the
thermal stress on the part being printed I'm going to have to enclose
the printer. Rather than build a separate enclosure I'm going to design
the enclosure into the frame. If you don't need the enclosure you can
just leave it off.
