- 100% enclosed build chamber:
The smell of melted plastic stays completely inside the printer.
Fumes from melted 3D printing plastic are very harmful. They can affect many parts of the body and may lead to infertility or, in worse cases, cancer in both men and women.
This is a great solution from HyVISION and from the team behind the Cubicon rapid prototyping 3D printers. Users can work with a Cubicon machine with full peace of mind.
- Nano odor filter:
Plastic fumes are 100% filtered through the Nano odor filter, so you can use a Cubicon 3D printer with even more confidence.

How is an enclosed 3D printer different from an open-frame one?
FDM 3D printers come in two common designs: open frame and enclosed. An open-frame printer is simple, easy to watch and easy to maintain, but the print area is directly exposed to drafts, room temperature and dust. An enclosed printer surrounds the whole print area with panels and a door. This keeps the temperature stable, lowers noise, limits fumes and dust escaping into the room, and stops users from touching hot or moving parts.
| Criteria | Open frame | Enclosed |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Prints well | Prints well, but needs ventilation so it does not overheat |
| ABS, ASA, PC | Prone to warping and layer cracks | More stable thanks to even chamber temperature |
| User safety | Easy to touch the hot nozzle | Limits contact, suits busy spaces |
| Fumes, dust | Released straight into the room | Can be paired with a filter to reduce emissions |
| Maintenance | Easy to work on | Panels must be opened, less working space |
Who should choose an enclosed 3D printer?
- Schools and STEM centers: many students nearby, so heat and fume safety matter.
- Design offices: the printer sits near people working, so noise and smell need to be low.
- Users printing engineering materials: ABS, ASA and nylon need a stable chamber temperature to limit warping.
- Homes with small children or pets: keeps hands and paws away from hot and moving parts.
Tips for running an enclosed printer
An enclosure does not mean you can skip ventilation. Fumes and dust still build up inside and escape every time you open the door, so pick a printer with a filter or add an exhaust fan. When printing PLA on hot days, open the door or top lid slightly so the chamber does not get too hot and jam the nozzle. Clean the chamber regularly, check the fans and replace the filter so the printer keeps running reliably. If you only print now and then, or need difficult engineering materials, ordering from a professional 3D printing service saves on equipment costs and keeps your workspace clean.
Frequently asked questions
Can an enclosed 3D printer print PLA?
Yes. PLA does not like a very hot chamber, though, so for long prints or hot weather you can open the door slightly or turn on a vent fan to avoid nozzle clogs and deformed parts.
Why does ABS warp so often on open-frame printers?
ABS shrinks a lot as it cools. On an open-frame printer the upper layers cool quickly and unevenly because of drafts and room temperature. This creates stress that lifts the edges or cracks the layers. An enclosure keeps the heat even and reduces the problem.
Can I build an enclosure for an open-frame 3D printer myself?
Yes. Many users build one from acrylic sheets or buy a ready-made cover. Use fire-resistant materials, leave room for the control board and power supply to cool, and add a way to vent air outside.
Are enclosed 3D printers noisy?
Enclosed printers are usually quieter than open-frame ones because the panels dampen motor and fan noise. The actual noise level also depends on the mechanical design and the type of motor drivers in each machine.
