Extended-format diode lasers · 800 × 400 mm class
A diode laser makes smoke the second it fires. On a long-bed machine you are dragging that plume across 800 mm of travel with nothing over the top of it — fine soot settling on the rails, the lens, and the control board, and the rest of it going into the room at bench height. Diode lasers run at 445–450 nm and are rated Class 4, so the blue flash off every pass sits in your field of view for the length of the job.
The Extended Laser Engraver Enclosure Kit V3 drops straight over the machine and gives it a controlled working envelope: 1170 × 710 × 405 mm outside, roughly 1160 × 700 mm of floor and 399 mm (15.7") of height inside. Commercial-grade 1/4" (6 mm) acrylic panels on a rigid 2020 aluminium extrusion frame, with magnetically latched front and top doors. No fabrication, no permanent modification to the machine, and it lifts back off for service or transport.
It is not airtight, and it is not built to be. The enclosure's job is to contain and concentrate what the laser puts out so your extraction can pull it away. That system needs airflow to work, which is why the vents are adjustable and the exhaust ports are sized for a real 4" hose.
One universal size built around the long-bed footprint. If your model is not listed, send us your machine's frame dimensions and we will confirm the fit before you order.
Two parts doing two jobs: the enclosure contains and concentrates the plume at the source, and extraction takes it away. Vent it outside with the window exhaust kit (inline fan, window insert, and 16 feet of hose), a 95 CFM fan with bracket for lighter work, or the 200 CFM compact for more air across the bed. Where venting outside is not possible, a BOFA PrintPRO 3 unit gives you professional fume filtration for indoor operation. You supply a 4" dryer hose.
Spectrometer transmittance measured on the same 6 mm amber stock we cut: 0.158% at 400 nm, 0.115% at 450 nm, 0.013% at 500 nm, and 0.060% at 520 nm. At 450 nm — where a diode laser operates — that takes the harsh blue flash out of your work area so you can watch a job run without squinting past it.
The amber panels reduce glare. They are not a laser-safety window. They do not reclassify your Class 4 laser and they are not a certified laser-viewing window. Wear OD-rated safety glasses for your wavelength — OD5+ for a 450 nm diode — any time the laser is running.
This enclosure is built for fume containment and glare reduction. It does not reduce a Class 4 laser to Class 1, and it is not a certified ANSI Z136.1 enclosure. If your facility's safety policy requires one, contact us directly and we will talk through what you actually need.
CNC-cut in Sacramento, California. 30-day returns on unused, undamaged panels with the masking still attached — test-fit with the mask on and you stay eligible.
The Extended Laser Engraver Enclosure Kit V3 by Clearview Plastics is a made-to-fit safety and ventilation upgrade for extended-format (long-bed) diode laser engravers — the ~800 × 400 mm-class machines with a stretched Y-axis that won't fit a standard square enclosure. If you run an xTool D1 Pro, Neje 3/4 Max, Algolaser Alpha, iKier K1, or AtomStack X40 Max, this is the enclosure built to protect it, contain its smoke, and fit the way you actually work.
Designed and CNC-cut in the USA, this "set-over" tabletop enclosure drops right over your engraver and holds it in a sealed working envelope. It has a 1170 x 710 x 405 mm (46" x 28" x 16") external footprint and is framed in rigid 2020 aluminum extrusion, leaving an internal working area of roughly 1160 x 700 mm with about 399 mm (15.7") of height — room for the long gantry travel, the rotary, and a tumbler. Every machine on our compatibility list fits this one universal size. It assembles in minutes with a screwdriver and Allen key, requires zero modification to your machine, and comes ready for the camera, lighting, and exhaust accessories that turn a bare frame into a professional workstation.
Extended and long-rail diode engravers are the machines most enclosures simply can't handle — their stretched Y-axis runs right past the walls of a standard box. The Extended V3 is sized and vented for exactly these machines, including:
Every machine on this list fits the Extended V3 — one universal size built around the long-bed footprint, and the machine-specific versions are the exact same enclosure. Not sure whether your model qualifies? Send us your frame dimensions and we'll confirm the fit before you buy — no guesswork.
Running a laser open on a bench is the fastest way to foul your shop and shorten your machine's life. Every pass lays down a fine soot that settles on rails, lenses, and electronics, while smoke and fumes drift straight into the room you're standing in. The Extended V3 wraps your machine in commercial-grade 1/4" (6 mm) panels that keep debris off your engraver, contain the plume at the source, and give you a clean, controlled environment every time you fire the beam. It's the difference between a machine that looks new in three years and one that doesn't.
This enclosure was engineered around how extended-bed diode owners actually run jobs — not just to be a box:
Diode lasers operate around 445–450 nm and are rated Class 4 — the highest laser hazard class. Cutting and engraving wood, acrylic, leather, painted, stained, or sealed materials releases smoke and fine particulate you don't want to breathe. The Extended V3 gives you real containment:
Important: the laser-filtering panels reduce indirect glare but are not a certified laser-safety window and do not reclassify your Class 4 laser. Always wear OD-rated safety glasses for your wavelength (e.g. OD5+ for 450 nm diodes) while the laser is in use. Need an enclosure that meets ANSI guidelines? Contact us directly.

Neil Henderson here, owner and head designer at Clearview Plastics. My shop is a California-based artisan design studio, and we build every enclosure in-house in Sacramento. Our panels are professionally CNC-cut for accuracy, with parts designed specifically for each machine we support — this isn't a generic box off a marketplace. When you order through us, you work directly with me, and that relationship comes with my genuine appreciation and skilled, personal help.
Will my extended / long-bed laser fit?
The enclosure has a 1170 mm W x 710 mm D x 405 mm H external footprint, leaving roughly 1160 x 700 mm and about 399 mm of height inside the frame — sized for extended-format machines with an approximate 800 × 400 mm work area. Every machine on our compatibility list fits, including the xTool D1 Pro, Neje 3/4 Max, Algolaser Alpha, iKier K1, and AtomStack X40 Max. If your model isn't listed, send us your machine's frame dimensions and we'll confirm fit before you order.
Do the laser-filtering panels mean I don't need safety glasses?
No. The amber panels filter light at the wavelength diode lasers operate at and greatly reduce indirect glare, but they are not a certified laser-viewing window. Always wear appropriate OD-rated safety glasses (e.g. OD5+ for 450 nm) whenever the laser is running.
Does this enclosure comply with ANSI Z136.1?
No. This enclosure is designed for fume containment and glare reduction, not to reduce a Class 4 laser to Class 1. Follow all Class 4 laser safety protocols. If you need an enclosure that meets ANSI guidelines, contact us directly.
Does it have an exhaust port for smoke and fumes?
Yes. The enclosure includes a 4" exhaust port to connect a flexible 4" hose and vent outside. From there, add the fan setup that fits your workload: a 95 CFM exhaust fan (includes the mounting bracket) for light-duty use, a 200 CFM compact fan for added air circulation, or our window exhaust kit — an inline fan, window insert, and 16 feet of hose. If venting outside isn't possible, add a BOFA PrintPRO 3 filtration unit to clean the air indoors.
Is there room for a rotary?
Yes. The internal height (about 399 mm / 15.7") clears the rotary and a fully articulated laser head, with enough room to engrave objects up to an 80 mm glass or tumbler.
What's included, and what do I supply?
The base kit includes acrylic panels and hardware; you print the brackets from the included files. Add our pre-printed parts for a complete kit. In all cases you supply a 4" dryer hose, and for heavy use we recommend adding an inline exhaust fan.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Shipping is calculated at checkout via USPS/UPS/FedEx (HS code 8538.10). Express services often cover import fees, but additional VAT, tariffs, or fees may apply depending on your country.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day return policy. Unused, undamaged panels with the masking fully attached are eligible for a full refund less return shipping. If panels are damaged after shipment or the protective mask has been removed, we can't offer a refund. To check fitment, consider partially assembling with the mask still on — if it isn't for you, you're still eligible for a full refund.
Why do the product photos vary slightly?
We update and improve our enclosures often, and as a small business a fresh photoshoot for every iteration isn't realistic. Function is always constant or improved. For the clearest picture of the current version, rely on the renderings rather than the photos.
We can ship to virtually any address in the world. International orders include brokerage fees for customs. Duties, VAT, taxes, and other fees may need to be collected prior to delivery. Every country and local is different so we cannot provide an exact estimate of these fees.
When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.
Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.
