My prints are coming out nicer. Easier to control temperatures. Should have bought this earlier!
I needed an enclosure for my Prusa MK4 to print some parts in ASA. The case is quickly set up and does the job. After printing with ASA I can take the enclosure quickly away and store it in the compact package it was delivered.
The enclosure does exactly what it is supposed to do.
I bought the enclosure and it just doesn't fit very well. There's no place for the filament to come inside the box, so you have to 3D print a few things, and I did, that just don't work. I think it's an incomplete product that doesn't work as designed. I watched videos on YouTube and with each "solution" to this obvious problem came more problems. This thing just sits on a shelf now for me.

P1P HotBox - 3D Printer Enclosure
I really like it. It's all very nice with a lot of storage on the side and all of that, but the one minus I found is that the door (on my model) isn't closing all the way up because the magnetic tape isn't all around the door. So, when I print ABS or ASA, the smell comes out of the printer, so I have to go to the printer and push all around the door a bit better to make sure it's all the way closed. As for the aesthetics, it looks nice but it is a bit on the bulky side, which is understandable because it is a case for the printer, not a panel. So far, very happy with my purchase.
