Top enclosure concept
Playing with an idea for a vacuformed top enclosure. This is an early rendering and the final product may change drastically; just wanted to share!

Good sized vacuum form... should be able to round it more, especially if you have access to a CNC router table. Lots of different ways to make the form blank I suppose.

That might fit around my A-frame filament holder. I am thinking about making a vented filament dryer box enclosure around the filament spools, and also enclosing the A-frame sides to capture the heat from the bed and direct it up to the filament.It's ugly, but everything is accessible from the front of the machine :) If the arms were bent instead of straight like mine, this could lower the a-frame height quite a bit.

Mike,
Looks good for an early concept!
Did you think about posting a .stp file of the Gigabot frame and opening up the design to the community?Gabe
