This is a temperature controller for your enclosure using off-the-self electronics components and a printable case.
I have found significant improvements in print quality using both an enclosure and temperature control, especially if you print in unheated rooms (my printer is in an unheated basement in New England). You can set a desired temperature in either F or C and the controller will heat and cool to maintain it well.
I use a heating element with fan for heating, and a cooling fan for cooling. For higher-temp filaments (like ABS or PETG), printing with enclosure door closed is ideal. For lower-temp filaments (like PLA), you may find it best to print with the enclosure door open - as the cooling fan may have trouble overcoming the heat coming off the nozzle and/or print bed.
My instructions below assume 120V AC. You'll need to adapt if you are running 220V.
