Springtime day in Colorado.

Springs is usually when we get the most snow here in CO. Also, if you look at the forecast and you see about 20% chance of precipitation everyday, that means the meteorologists have no clue what is going to happen.

Well, we are actually getting more and more interested in house-swapping, so be careful what you ask for!

CPAP as in breathing aid?! Strange thing to go with 3d-printer stuff??

Makes for some pretty insane cooling. I have it on one of my printers. It works great!

You know, if you wanted to go all the way, you could keep a compressor in the garage and install air piping to your printer! Only issue would be varying the speed, usually air is either on or off (using a solenoid valve). Iām SURE there are ways to electronically change the pressure level

CPAP fans are super quiet, and very high flow. The guys on the forum for the Jubilee Toolchanger spent a bit of time designing a manifold so the airflow could be rerouted to the current tool. I havenāt modded mine, but they seem to love it!

Constant interest in the ZenXY and MPCNC and their presentersā¦
Gave several completed LR3 plots away to kids who were universally ecstatic about them.
Sadly, didnāt have one for the kid with the 3D printed TMNT backpack.

Oh man that backpack is awesome, never saw it til reading your comment!!!
OK, I mentioned this a bit upthreadā¦
Can we as a community figure out a cheap and quick (but good enough!) way to make some kind of enclosure for @azab2c 's V4 printer?
Iād rather not have him rip it all apart again and stuff it back into that luggage.
Guidelines-
- It has to be relatively cheap.
- it has to be something that TSA and Alaska Air will accept and process as checked luggage.
- It has to at least get that V4 back home at least intact enough to resemble a working printer.
- We donāt have much time to do whatever.
Today I was kicking around finding some source of foam, and making a box from big box cheap plywood that weād place the foam in, and slide the printer in. some kind of cheap hinge somewhere to allow the box to open, and some kind of latch or closure that would let it close but not be prone to just spilling the printer out.
How about it? Who has ideas on how to do this?

Will the 115" be a problem?
Once youāve gathered all three data points, add them together. For example, if your bag is 24 inches tall, 20 inches long and 18 inches wide, its total linear length is 62 inches.
Something else said limit is 62 inches as above. Measure the printer!

I bet if you used surgical tubing for the last few inches of it you could put a cam type of pincher on it and slow the flow with a servo or some other extruder type of action to control the flowā¦
Worst case Iāll get measurments tomorrow, but I donāt recall it being larger than 24"x24"x28" ā¦ So weāre starting out somewhere around 76 linear inches.
I had back-of-napkin guessed making a box with something like 1" foam board insualtion for inner layer, 1/2" ply for an outer layer. So that would add 3 inches in each dimmenation assembled. Iām guessing 27x27x31. 85 Linear inches. Thatās still within the 115 linear inch limit.
Imagine a cheap road case, though probably without the road case felt outer nor reinforced corners.
