Finally built myself a nice 3D printer enclosure from IKEA cabinets.

Basic idea is to take a shallow (20cm) and a deep (40cm) cabinet frames and to stagger the bottom/top panels and wall panels, making a nice single-piece 60cm cube. A bit more info with a short how-to and a few ideas and nuances.

I've thought of building a Voron, a RatRig or another printer that can for inside its own rectangular frame into a cabinet too.

90's "media centers" that were rigid enough and deep enough to fit large CRT TVs might be a good fit for a printer enclosure too (if you can transport them to your residence that is).

    Oh man, one of my white whales is getting one of those sturdy old media centers and turning the whole thing into a combined printer/cnc/laser with attached console and storage. Huge build area, head swapping, and all the gear you could ever need in a gaudy wall of wood grain and brass fixtures.
