The HotBox is made of high-grade Nylon 600D fabric with fire-resistant coating and lined with a metallic heat-deflecting internal liner that sandwiches around a strong, lightweight honeycomb insulating structure.
The front panel has a large clear window for maximum visibility and easily lifts up for full access to your printer. A velcro retaining strip is on top to keep the panel open while working.
The top panel has an access door for spool holder passage and for the vacuum tube, and a built-in thermometer (two LR44 batteries not included).

- Lightweight semi-rigid construction
- Excellent insulating properties
- 3 cable exits, one each on the left, right, and back panels
- A large, transparent front window
- Large opening for front access
- Door for pass-through top-mounted spool holder

I use the light bar in the Wham Bam Hotbox.
Since I use it this way, the straps hold it well, I do wish that it had a groove in the back for the strap to sit in. It is bright enough to only use 1 in the Hot Box.
Works great, just as intended.
It sits on top on a Lack Table with the use of custom brackets. Because of this I lost 1" of height, so it rests on the top bar of my SV06. But that is my choice, not Wham Bam's. I think with today's printers that they should add another 3" to the height...but keep the other dimensions the same...JMO
The enclosure has been awesome! Easy to use and fits my prusa mini and filament holder
After doing lots of research I found the Wham Bam 3D Printer Enclosure. Due to cold drafty air and kids playing near the printers, I needed a solution that would offer protection at a reasonable price. Wham Bam checked all the boxes. The set-up takes less than a minute and the quality is better than I expected. Very happy with my purchase - I have 2 of them for my Prusa printers. I recommend this as an alternative to the expensive Prusa enclosure.
I am extremely happy with the Wham Bam enclosure, for my Prusa MK3S+. I have my 3d printer in my garage. The enclosure fits my printer perfectly, with the filament extension arm I printed. The enclosure helps to keep dust off the printer, and it also helps to maintain a controlled temperature inside the enclosure, for temperamental filaments, that require a more controlled environment. The enclosure is very well made, and allows access to areas of the printer, that may require maintenance.
