The enclosure kit is an enhancement kit for the SK1 printer. Upgrading with the SK1 enclosure kit helps to maintain the temperature inside the enclosure, preventing heat from dissipating easily (which is particularly useful when printing materials prone to warping at high temperatures). Additionally, the enclosure kit serves as a dust-proof cover, extending the lifespan of internal components by protecting them from dust accumulation.
The internal auxiliary fan can help expedite the cooling process of printed models. Additionally, it aids in dissipating heat generated by printer components such as the hotend and heated bed. By enhancing airflow within the enclosure, it prevents heat buildup, which can lead to overheating and adversely affect print quality. Furthermore, it can be paired with the SK1's camera module to enable time-lapse photography functionality.
The filtration system effectively removes some of the odors generated during printing with certain materials and helps regulate the temperature inside the enclosure by circulating air. This is particularly crucial when printing materials that require precise temperature control to minimize warping or improve print quality.
