My enclosure has the MMU3 and all 5 spools crammed in there, very space efficient
I’m also gonna cram the filter in there when I get around to it.
This new one can’t seem to support more than a single spool on the side tho
Do you have any advice on putting the spools inside the enclosure? I haven't put our MMU3s together yet, but all the official photos show the spools on the outside.
4 in the front, top and bottom on each side, one in the back, top left. (Top right back would be where the filter would go, if you have it, and the bottom back right will have the buffer. Bottom Left has cabling so clearance isn’t very good there)
Be careful with the spool holders/mounts as they’re not really interchangeable due to the sagging clearance of the spools and the floor
There’s already a few collected guides out there for all the parts you’d need to print to make it work, assuming you don’t want some fancy custom parts as extras or have a custom box you’d wanna leverage
Humidity sensor probably gonna need to move, and need a new mount point printed
Be careful with the tube routing, too long or too tight turns will make the mmu and extruder struggle, had to redo mine twice so if you’re planning to freestyle or experiment I do recommend getting extra tubage
That’s about all I got off the top of my head, if there’s extra stuff I might add it in later
Thanks for the writeup! The mmu3 assembly instructions do mention I need longer PTFE tubes if I want to combine it with the enclosure, so I dont think there's avoiding that. We'll have two enclosures with MMUs next to each other, so having the spools hanging on the outside feels a little too unsightly.
I'm eyeing the (un)original drybox too, but it's adding quite a bit of cost.
