Modular M2 Cabinet

They look Awesome.... I guess this means you won't be taking orders for them anytime soon?

Ha, yeah I don't want to have to build another one of these for a long time. Without a real cabinet shop, CNC routers and assembly line style manufacturing these things would cost a lot of money due to the amount of labor required.

Here's all four cabinets installed and operational.

Sweeeet! (If i printed ABS I'd have to sneak over and liberate one.....in the interests of science, you understand.)

Even if printing something like PETG that doesn't need to be in a cabinet, when you have that many printers running at the same time it really heats up the room. Just three printers running in open air heated up the room enough to cause the graphics card on my computer to overheat and crash the computer on an overnight print. I had to run a fan in the doorway after that.

I also found you can't run more than one M2 on an APC 550 UPS without it complaining about overload, so each unit has to have it's own 550 UPS. The UPS saved a big print job a few weeks ago when all five printers were several hours into a print and the power blinked. I get brief power outages here all the time so UPS is a must on computers and any CNC machine.

I had to actually run 220 to my shop to run my M2s

All I need to know is how much and when you expect to be shipping these?

I agree, but pyro's said he's not going to sell them.

[pyronaught]

The labor intensive way I'm making them would make them cost as much as your M2, then they are one solid piece that does not come apart so shipping charges would be multiple hundreds of dollars on top of that for freight shipping. They would have to be fabricated a completely different way using a full size 4' x 8' CNC router that I can't afford and don't have space for.
