Unless you are doing this temporarily to 3d print the necessary items for an enclosure, and watching it, you just put flammables on top of a fire starter. I don't think homeowners insurance or rental insurance will pay for a non-UL listed trash bag modification to your 3d printer.

@@yeabutwecouldbefreer - Working properly, there is nothing when ABS printing that would ignite polyethylene. The autoignition temperature of unchlorinated polyethylene is 226 C. Yes, the nozzle temperature is slightly higher when printing ABS, but that's in the melt zone. The outside of the nozzle is not hot enough to ignite polyethylene. However, safety requires us to design for things not working properly. My printer has thermal runaway protection to prevent the hot end from becoming a fire hazard, I have a smoke detector over the printer, I'm usually sitting next to the printer and if not I'm sleeping in the next room which also has a smoke detector and there is a smoke detector in the hall in between the bedroom and my lab/office. I initially tried to find a clear roasting bag large enough to enclose a printer and couldn't find one. I thought there might be some industrial application but I couldn't find any. I'm convinced that the addition of the plastic bag enclosure doesn't substantially increase the risk of 3D printing at home. Many people will disparage a reasonable solution like this because it sounds cheap but will think nothing of sending their prints to a Bambu server that is down, that is rebooted in the middle of the night (US time) to process the queued print job and crash the printer, which could easily damage the thermocouple lead and test the thermal runaway protection as the nozzle is buried in a mound of plastic. That's not a hypothetical situation. This recently happened and crashed many Bambu Lab printers including the destruction of their print heads. Or they'll buy their kid a cheap Chinese electric scooter with dubious lithium batteries that is recharged overnight under a pile of clothes in their bedroom closet.

I guess it's because if the printer moves back and forth, you don't want the enclosure to move as well in the same direction or it will vibrate as well in the same direction.

its just a design-thing... he did want to have the opening of the box at the corner

Probably because they didn't have any? I mean it's not like it's difficult to take apart

Well, considering it's design, it shouldn't be surprising, pretty simple in design and pretty much everything is off the shelf components and only has 3 chips.

Thanks for the feedback. Honestly, I did intend to use heat shrink on the screw posts, but forgot to do it. Good to know for the future that it’s a viable strengthening technique. I also forgot to polish the switches, I did polish the metal lever on my Galaxy Invader 1000 (previous video), but forgot about the Atari. As for the joysticks, I wasn’t sure whether they were painted or not as I couldn’t see any trace of residual paint at all. Looking at images online, some seem to be painted and some not. I do have a defective “Vader” Atari unit inbound from eBay which has a painted joystick.
