TAZ 5 Lack Enclosure

A simple TAZ 5 Enclosure using an Ikea Lack hack.

I designed this Lack Enclosure to minimize cost and modifications to the Lack as well as minimize cuts to the Plexiglas.

The clear Plexiglas sheets lift out freely from the enclosure rather than sliding open. They are also held in place at the bottom of the enclosure brackets so the entire structure can be lifted off. Gaps were filled using foam insulation found at Home Depot.

This enclosure is actually too small for the TAZ 5, but only by approximately 1 inch. Because of this, I have included a Y-Stop adjustment clip (note the positioning in the provided pictures) and suggest changing the settings in your software to make the build plate shorter by 25mm, and reduce the presentation/cooling position by 50mm. This will prevent the build plate from running into the glass during operation. If you end up needing that extra inch for a larger print, the glass and clip can be removed, and the settings reverted.
