I have 6 of these. They’re the best option for 3D printer enclosures. I have 3 acrylic enclosures from another company, and while I like how rigid and clear they are, they were just not worth the $300 and 3 hours of assembly. These Wham Bam hot boxes are so much cheaper and “assemble” in 10 seconds. Plus I’m pretty sure they do a better job of trapping heat anyways. And isn’t that the point of a printer enclosure?
The is a great enclosure. It's well made, has plenty of cut for passing through filaments and cables. Best of all, it collapses down so it can be stored away when not needed.
8/3/2023 Update: I received my Prusa MMU3 and set it up inside the hotbox. It's a little tight but it all works! My main complaint is that I wish there was a bigger velcro door on top to be able to access the MMU. The 2 little doors only allow for peeking at half of the top of the MMU. Maybe WhamBham can implement this feature in the future.
I was looking for a "bug out" enclosure so I could quickly and without hassle, grab the printer and enclosure and go. This met those needs perfectly. It folds up pretty flat and isn't heavy. Unplug a few cables from the printer, pull the printer and phone out, unzip the whambam and pack it up! The WhamBam hotbox was the only real option that I found that met this criteria. It holds heat well. Printing ASA, I've measured the enclosure getting up to a max of 43c. It seems to have ports/cutouts everywhere you could possibly need them. My only complaint is I wish the thermostat was on the front instead of the top but I have one inside anyway so I can view via octoprint. I plan on adding an MMU to this setup so we'll see how it fits and functions.
It's a great light works well
I looked at many options, but this seemed the best option for me. Versatile. Sturdy. Fair price. Excellent Choice!
