Heating and Shutdowns

We were having issues with our printer pausing during the print process. Discovered it was due to the printer getting too cold,. It is located in our R&D Lab. We were also having issues with the UV curing station taking a while to warm up.

Solution was to put thermal enclosures over the units to keep in the heat. Foam core panels, emergency blanket gold insulation, Custom designed and 3D printed corners.

They cut the heat prep time down significantly and keep it all running smoothly.

This is excellent and would solve the problem I was facing. My solution was to use the original cardboard box to keep the heat in, but your solution is much more elegant :grin:
