About: I am by nature a geek and am not ashamed to say so. I decided to create this instructable account because I figured in my learning process I could also teach others. Feel free to look at my existing instruct…

I have been searching for the best enclosure since I got my printer. I debated about making it from scratch with my favorite stuff, creform. I started that and made a frame and have been using that for my printer table since I got it.

I debated about using a server cabinet and making it with that. I looked at metal cabinets, I looked at fire cabinets anything I could find but I couldn't find the dimensions that I wanted. I was browsing Facebook Market place one night, which honestly is the only reason I use facebook at all and I saw it. I saw what would become my 3d printer enclosure.

Now I am not your crazy coke collector like some. But I do collect some Coca-Cola stuff. There it was staring at me. Coca-Cola Fridge $200, need it gone asap. The ad said that it would work if a switch was replaced, I did not really care if it worked because I didn't need it cold, I need it to keep in the heat. Looking at the pictures I had a feeling the dimensions were right but it ts hard to tell from a picture. So I asked the very nice lady to get me some inside dimensions of the fridge. I waited for the message back with great anticipation. She sent me back the inside dimensions and eureka it will work and I started negotiating, if that is what you call it. I offered $100 for the fridge and she said if you can pick it up today that is fine. Done and DONE. I drove an hour and picked it up.

I got it home and plugged it in to find that it actually did work, the compressor comes on, the lights come on, the defog works. But it kicks on and off a lot.

On to making it into a printer enclosure.
