Loiphin,

What IKEA enclosure is that it looks bigger than most?

CCVirginia asked about enclosures...

I wanted to experiment with an enclosure when a thermometer off to the side of my M2 indicated I was experiencing 6 degree F variations in my surrounding environment. After looking for a makeshift enclosure, I finally hit on the idea to use the shipping box which protected my M2 from harsher environs. I put the box on its side, extended a flap so it, too, was on the same surface as the box. Sliding in the printer, I had room for heat to escape easily, but the three-sided enclosure seemed to stabilize the build area temp nicely. My printer is now in a more protected area, so the box is no longer needed. 'Hope this helps...

What IKEA cabinet is that? That's exactly what I'm looking for.
