So I need to print ABS (for acetone smoothing) and I need to print large parts (final part is 36" long, so I'm printing 3 twelve-inch tall parts and then glue them together with ABS-Acetone glue). To prevent delamination, big cracks, and warping my FIL built enclosures. These are made of cheap wood and single pane glass. There are 200W light bulbs and a computer fan in the enclosures to uniformly heat the build area to about 110 degrees F. The heated chamber has definitely reduced the delamination to where there may be only one crack in a 12" tall print that is 10" wide, but I am worried for the safety of the components of the printers if I heat it any more. Perhaps CF arms are in my future. Anyway, just thought I'd share!
