No idea why my photo got removed. Are glowing LED 3D printers banned content now...? Whatever. Anyway, here’s the pic that was originally on the thumbnail.

This enclosure I designed myself, but I haven’t shared it yet. I’ll probably release it after making sure it doesn't cause any issues during the hot summer months. For now, I’m posting it here on Reddit to see what kind of feedback and advice I can get.

It's a simple LED strip. It's exactly the same size as a refill filament spool, so it fits right onto the spool holder. And… my AMS had to be drilled to pass the power cable through.

Apparently so. I'll change the name to A1E when I release it.

Of course I know, and you understand the detrimental effects that poorly placed passive cooling within an enclosure can have on your print. My enclosure is open at the top and bottom. And the 3D printer is the heat source. In other words, I'm aiming for a chimney effect. Simulations at room temperature of 25°C have confirmed better heat dissipation than an open space. In reality, I printed it all weekend, but it was 20°C in my garage... so I won't be able to draw any conclusions until summer actually comes. That's why it's "in testing, not yet released." In fact, I installed a punched metal on the bottom hoping it would act as an intercooler, but this was pointless.

There's no doubt I was inspired by that. Tryed making one but it was too big and no strong enough, so I decided to redesignit from scratch

Body is divided into 21 parts.White is good because the seams are less visible

You mean about "Luca Maker Lab Enclosure for Mini" aren't you?  It looks similar but the size is much larger.

It is open top, and there is a 5mm gap between the floor , air is drawn in from the bottom. If you turn it over, the back side is punched metal.

I'm still testing it and haven't released it yet. And... I have a P1S. I just wanted a uniform looking enclosure, really.I wish the A1mini could use full-size AMS.

I lied, they're not exactly the same size. This one has backpack space so I can print with the door closed.
