After printing, tear away and file down the supports (shown in red) Special drill bits http://www.amazon.com/Plexiglass-Drill-Bit-Set-Fabrication/dp/B00UZNIW3E/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1463551786&sr=8-7&keywords=drill+bits+for+plastic are recommended for drilling plastic without digging in and cracking plastic (especially acrylic). The handles will facilitate moving the printers around to load filament, and will enable an ergonomically preferred 2-person carrying of the device. Because of it’s structural properties and durability, I’m building the enclosure from Plaskolite http://www.lowes.com/pd_345710-1638-1TW3036C___?productId=3381288&pl=1&Ntt=coroplast (or Coroplast) which can be obtained from Lowes Hardware. Coro Claw http://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-flute-cutter-blades-replaceable/dp/B00KTPC8UG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463551391&sr=8-1&keywords=coro+claw (see video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24oeQKxXFUU ) can be used to facilitate fabricating with the material. Foamcore or cardboard can also be used, but it is not as durable. I plan to create an instructable for the box assembly soon.
