Who We've Worked With
More About the Clearview Infinity Enclosure
Our main objective was to give your printer an unobstructed view from any angle. At the same time, our enclosures offer easy access with a magnetically latched front door and a cable port to route all your connections. Last, the side access door is perfectly placed to access the USB port and power switches.
We also have adapted options for our Carbon Air Scrubbing filter and vibration dampening feet. Both do as they suggest. The Carbon Air Scrubbing Filter uses a silent fan to pass air through a carbon filter to reduce fumes created from the 3D printing process. Especially if you are printing ABS, you will want to include the filter option. Our Vibration Dampening Feet use a multi material lamination that dissipates vibrations at 5 different levels. If you are printing in an area where printing noise needs to be reduced, this is an essential addition to your 3D printing setup.
We offer a black PETG color option for the brackets and fittings for your printer. With your purchase, we also offer STL access to these files so that you can print these fittings in the colors you want. ADDITIONALLY, with your purchase, we also offer the STL files of future attachments and accessories for your enclosure. If we come up with a mod, you get access to it for free!
This makes a great gift for the 3D printing tinkerer within your friends or family.

FAQ
What is your return Policy?
We have a 30 day return policy. Unused, undamaged panels that still have the masking fully attached are eligible for a full refund less return shipping. If panels are damaged (after shipment) or the protective mask layer has been removed, we cannot offer a refund. For best results in ensuring fitment and to ensure you like the setup of our enclosures consider at least partially assembling with the mask on. If you find out it isn't for you, this allows to get the return for a full refund.
There are some differences between your product pictures.
We update these often and as a small business it isn't realistic to do a fresh photoshoot for every iteration. In general function is always constant or better as we improve things. For the clearest indication of our current version, please rely on the renderings rather than the photos.
Bambu does not recommend to enclose the A1. Why are you offering an enclosure?
On enclosing, there is nothing wrong with taking BBL's advice. We make these enclosures for good reason and many printer companies carry a similar warning in that it could shorten the life of the printer, yet many still enclose their printer and do so successfully for a long time. We've added active cooling to manage temperatures.
What we would suggest is that you'll find that without the enclosure you'll find more print issues with wrapping, clogged nozzles, and degradation of print quality. Also, you are printing in the open in which the printer off gasses particulate into the room. We build in cool air intake and filters to help keep electronics cool and workspace clean.
If you don't enclose and your printer lasts forever, you'll certainly find in that time you will not be able to print certain parts or filaments with out an enclosure. We make no promises that it for certain won't shorten the life of your printer, but our testing suggests printers do fine. With the issues mentioned above, We'd would suggest the enclosure is an overall net positive and contributes more to the print experience than it takes.

Update 7-3-24 . Lets address the topic that Bambu does not suggest enclosing the A1. The main concern about enclosing the printer is that the elevated temperatures inside the enclosure will at some point reduce the lifespan of the electronics. We have engineered this enclosure to both run cool air to the chassis and exhaust hot air using our exhaust filter. This easily will maintain a safe temperature within the service temperature of the electronics of the printer. This is a satisfactory solution for filaments such as PLA, TPU, and PETG. Hotter/advanced filaments require a h otter chamber temperature which then yes could shorten the lifespan of your electronics. Historically, enclosing a printer has brought in the argument and assumed risk of overheating the electronics. This is not a new factor. So if you believe your electronics will not last for a satisfactory amount of time and/or are not willing to assume the risk, then enclosing this printer is not for you. Clearview, while we believe we have the proper solution offers no guarantee or warranty (express or implied) on your 3D printer or the electronics. Our testing is as follows: Our enclosure has been tested on the A1 since the first day it was available printing on our farm 5 days per week.
