TLX Flame Orange - Enclosure for Prusa i3 MK3/MK4 with MMU

Review

In July 2020, the German online magazine for 3D printing enthusiasts: 3DFans.DE appraised our Czech-made 3D printer enclosures of TLX series during testing. The full review, including a number of unboxing and assembling procedure photos, can be found at this link.

Tukkari TLX Flame Orange -  3D Printer Enclosure for Prusa i3 MK3/MK4 with MMU

This enclosure was designed primarily for use with Prusa i3 MK3/MK4 3D printers with MMU unit. Of course, it can be also used without MMU unit or with the older 3D printer Prusa MK2 if you print for your MK2 printer feet to rise the printer height. Selection of feet models for MK2 can be downloaded from Thingiverse.com here. This enclosure is based on the popular TLX enclosure series, with the difference that this version is taller by 15,5 cm and adapted to accommodate the Prusa MK3/MK4 printer also with the MMU unit.
