The Snapmaker U1 3D printer is an impressive machine for the price, but [Beaver Works] found the optional factory-offered top cover a wee bit expensive for his tastes. The solution? 3D print a fixture and use a clear 45 L Samla storage box from IKEA as an effective and affordable cover for the machine. Why a cover?

The clear 45 L Samla box serves as an effective cover that retains heat and prevents dust. It also acts as a barrier to keep out curious hands or pets. The solution involves 3D printing a fixture to fit the box over the printer. This method is cost-effective and avoids the need for expensive custom parts. The design allows for easy access to the box lid, which can be purchased separately. Using standardized products like IKEA items can be a reliable option for such projects. The creator also shared design files for the 3D-printed parts.
