3D Printer Enclosure for Bambu Lab A1 Combo, 360° Transparent Acrylic Enclosure with LED Light, Odor Isolation Noise Reduction Constant Temperature 3D Printer Cover Box, 540x600x540MM

One of the better looking enclosures out there, and includes basically all the features I can think of wanting.I appreciate the provision for active ventilation, which is important with the amount of printing I do.The pass-through for the AMS lite is nicely thought out and allows connecting and disconnecting with little fuss. This modularity is nice since I don't use my AMS all the time, and would rather use the space it takes up for other things.The spool holder is well placed and helps minimize the footprint, which is the reason I got the mini version of the A1 in the first place. It is also 3D printed, which was oddly reassuring, knowing that the manufacturer of this 3D printer accessory utilizes 3D printing as well.This might be a silly thing to be impressed by, but the packaging and instructions were also nicer and more thought out than I was expecting (see pictures). Assumed I'd just get a box full of parts and told to figure it out. Includes decent enough tools and a full roll of neoprene foam tape - I suppose for optional extra sealing, they definitely didn't skimp there.I did note one error on the instructions, when you get toward the end there aren't enough self tapping screws in Bag 2 for installation of the door. There are a bunch left over in another bag, just use those, as that was probably the intent.Another reviewer also mentioned that the self tapping screws did not work for mounting the hinge brackets to the frame, and that he had to drill out holes in the aluminum extrusion. I don't believe they are actually supposed to screw into the frame itself - the self tappers are threaded for tapping into plastic rather than metal, so I just used them as clamps to clamp the plastic hinge brackets onto the extrusion. Over-tightening them in an effort to get them to dig into the metal will just result in this 'clamp' spreading out too much and breaking. This seems sufficient to hold the hinge brackets in place, especially since the rest of the door assembly locks things in place.I think this was the intended installation, though I can see why the label of 'self tappers' could make one think they are supposed to tap into the metal frame. A warning in the instructions about this might help in the future, though the (admittedly small) picture does show them being used as clamps and not screwed in all the way.The LED strip is a nice addition, hidden away under the front top of the frame. It's both practical and makes the whole setup really pop if you care about that kind of thing. Mine was actually missing from the package, but a message to the manufacturer quickly resolved that problem, and they went above and beyond to resolve other small issues/questions I had. They seem to know their product and 3D printing quite well, definitely impressed with their communication and service.Overall, while this enclosure is more expensive than others, I think the step up in quality and aesthetics versus the usual rickety (and dark) fabric ones is far more than the step up in expense, so it's well worth it. In my view: buy once and cry once, and then reap the benefits and extra convenience for a long time.

First, this might be a lengthy review of how I came across this enclosure. After getting my hands on the Bambu Lab A1, I started searching for an enclosure for several reasons. One of the main reasons was to print ABS, and another was to reduce fumes. Initially, I came across the Yoopai acrylic enclosure, which is only compatible with the Bambu Lab A1 Mini. I reached out to Yoopai to ask if they would launch a similar enclosure for the A1. They confirmed they would, but with a different design, which would only be available in November 2024.As soon as they launched the new Topcube enclosure, I placed my order immediately. This review will primarily compare it to the Yoopai version for reference.Now, onto the review. This enclosure looks very nice and futuristic compared to the Yoopai version. However, the quality of the frame itself is not great—it has some hairline cracks that could lead to breakage if force is applied, as reported by other users. The sealing is also not completely tight; you can see gaps at the door sides. Additionally, due to the frame’s lack of uniformity, there are small gaps at the connecting joints as well. That said, it is still a very sturdy enclosure. To make things easier, I'll break it down into pros and cons:Pros:1. Very sturdy compared to the previous Yoopai version2. Futuristic design3. Easy to assemble if you follow the manual and use a bit of logical thinkingCons:1. Frame is not uniform at the connecting ends2. Frame is not customizable, unlike the previous Yoopai version3. Not 100% sealed—there are gaps at the door sidesOne notable downside of this frame design is that it doesn’t allow for the AMS Lite to be placed on top of the enclosure. This would have been possible if the frame used an aluminum profile. I hope Topcube considers offering some kind of 3D-printable upgrade or solution to allow the AMS Lite to be mounted on top of this new enclosure.
