Hello Julian
The enclosure works for me, as my 3D printer is in an outside building, I call my workshop, affectionately called by my?wife as a "dung hole" and during the winter months it prevents drafts blowing across the printer when opening the workshop door. ABS failures in prints can be caused by having cold air blasting across the bed and causing non adhesion between layers. A minimum amount of controlled air through a fan onto the print is also required, but the enclosure gets warm inside so the air is not chilled, it's all a balancing act.
I truly believe that if you can get the correct?air supplies onto a print, at the right time, the right volume of air,?
and the right place then a lot of failures will go away. Angel hairs for instance.?
I too use?a?type of "glue" to hold the?print down, and always use the typical?acetone mixed with snippets of
the filament you are using, these are dropped in a jar of a small amount of acetone, to form almost a paste after a few minutes, which then is painted onto my pre heated glass plate, just past the profile?of the shape you are printing.
If you use a small glass sealed jar, my " homemade" glue keeps at least a week in the fridge.
Never tried the?"mickey mouse ears" adhesion trick, but worth?bearing in mind. Almost like a raft? in Slic3r settings ?
The Youtube?video is very interesting and thanks for sharing. Always nice?to see young engineers at work, very refreshing.
I note that the CMM was manufactured by C E Johansson, from Sweden, a very famous company for metrology instruments and the originators of the slip blocks or slip gauges and these were commonly known as "Jo" blocks
in my days of early engineering.
