The SV08 Max loses about 100mm of height when you add the enclosure, and while there have been some top hats designed before, they all look… bad. All of them use clear plexiglass all the way around and look really weird and “hacked on”.

So, I decided to design and make my own to match the factory enclosure as close as possible (and includes a Nevermore filter mount). Here’s a preview, and as with all my projects I’ll release I’ve released a write-up, directions, and links to the STEP/3MF files soon on my site: https://nowsci.com/mods-for-3d-printers/

    I’ve been pretty happy with it. PLA is pretty spot on, and I need to scale ABS by 100.4% for large parts to cover shrinkage but I do that with other printers, too.

    Is it as dimensionally accurate as the Voron V0.2 above it in that picture? No. But is it really close? Yes. If your tollerences are a mm, you’ll be fine. I’d only worry if the tolerences were less thsn say .2-.4 mm. Just remember some materials shrink as they cool, no matter what printer you use, so calibration is key for them.

    Given you’re thinking chamber heater, you probably already know how to handle that, though.

      Good to know. Yeah I already cal my printer for XYZ scaling semi regularly when I’m doing really critical stuff and anything I’m doing over 200mm I already plan for tolerances and match-drilling holes out. Sounds like I’m moving this to my Christmas wishlist.
