Building a Budget-Friendly 3D Printer Enclosure from Scratch

3D Printer enclosures are too expensive, so I built one from scratch!

My Prusa MINI+ was struggling with ABS print warping on the print bed, even at 100C. The issue? I didn't have an enclosure to keep warmer air around layers towards the top of prints. Looking online I found that off-the-shelf solutions were too expensive for my budget, so I built this one from pine and 2mm acrylic sheets.
