I added a fan and temperature controller to my printer enclosure with this quick 4h build. You may need to adjust things a little bit, but I am sure you can build one for yourself in less than a day.

Flat Boxes Update
I just updated the flat boxes set. All existing boxes got a new revision, with an even better wall profile and there are five additional boxes in this set. Improved Wall Profile If you compare the corner for revision A and revision B, you see the difference easily. The corner in revision A has an…
Tall Boxes Ready for Download
The tall boxes set is ready for download, after successfully completing my tests. You will get carefully designed storage boxes, optimised for 3d print from the ground up. Only this weekend, from 2020-11-27 to 2020-11-29, all STL files in the shop are 20% off. The new set fits well into the series. In the picture…
Flat Storage Boxes Set for 3D-Print
Finally, my tests of the flat storage box are finished. 🎉 The main issue I had, was the spot for the labels. With the geometry I used in the regular and tall boxes, it took too much space from the flat ones. I solved this using a special profile for this set. I personally designed…
Organizer Boxes Optimised for 3D-Print
One of the reasons I didn’t publish as many articles are before, is I am still organising my new lab. Because of the current pandemic, everything got delayed and there is still a lot of material which needs to be organised. After reviewing many existing designs and didn’t found one which matched my needs, I…
Circle Pattern Generator
I wrote a small application to generate random circle patterns. You just specify the width and height of the rectangle to fill and the application will fill the area with the circles you specified. The result can be exported in SVG format to use it in other applications. Interface Elements Width, Height: These define the…
Build a 3D Printer Enclosure
Today, something slightly off-topic. This post is a short tutorial on how to build a heavy and solid 3D-printer enclosure. It uses a fully parametric design, where you can adjust the important dimensions – therefore it should work with a wide range of 3D-printer and materials. Update 1: Added some photos, illustrating the process.Update 2:…
Always-On Firmware Example
Recently I published a simplified version of the Always-On project hardware. Read this post for details. Today I publish a firmware example for the Always-On project. This firmware is written for the PlatformIO environment using Visual Studio Code. It is using a special adaption of my HAL layer for PlatformIO using the Arduino layer for…
My Favourite Board Connectors
In most of my last projects, I used nice miniature connectors from TE. This is, again, no sponsored post. If you ever evaluated connectors, you may know how overwhelming the range of products is. I like to introduce these connectors to you, in the hope you find them as useful as I do. 😅 I…
Well Made Boards from PCBWay
I received new boards from PCBWay for the Always-On project. They are well made for a really low price. As you can see in the previous image, the layer alignment is very good. Also, I do not have to worry about small fonts on the silk layer. I use 1mm labels and fine 0.2mm lines…
