What is an enclosure?

An enclosure is a box surrounding a 3D printer. It maintains stable temperature around 40-60 °C and protects from drafts. Essential for ABS, ASA, PC.

Why an enclosure

ABS and ASA curl when in contact with cold air (warping). Enclosure keeps high ambient temperature stable, preventing warping. Also filters fumes (ABS is toxic).
