I've also discovered that adding a lot more layer cooling for PLA dramatically improves prints. That said, i didn't want to add a bunch of weight to my print head, so I bought a couple of 4" desktop fans that I point at the bed from 6-12" away. Works great. Right now I'm manually turning them on ...

My thoughts are there's already enough new stuff going on. You can get a respectably clean print with the stock setup. Get it going with enough spares to keep it going.

That said, given the duty cycle of running constantly for 48 hours or more we put these things through ...

There is a great V1 printed enclosure you can work off of for a V2.

There are spare thermistor ...

I've been thinking quite a bit about this as I build my Rostock V2. I plan on having it in my office, printing mostly ABS, so an enclosure seems like a must have. Here's what I've come up with as my specs: - Clear acrylic so I can watch the printer - Doesn't enclose the electronics at the bottom so ...
