SovolMetal and Tempered Glass Open Enclosure with Drag Chain and Filter Fan for Sovol SV08

This appears to be easy to install but the door hinges are a little confusing if your mechanically inclined. Just put the top hinges on the backside and it will make more sense. Once I figured that part out it was easy to install. This helped a ton with noise and also keeping heat in the chamber. Was skeptical after reading some of the reviews but have printed several ABS prints and temp was steady at 55 inside with just the bed heater heating the chamber.

Update: Finally received the missing screws from my kit, after it is all put together the enclosure looks nice, so I bumped up my review score slightly. If the printed chain parts were done properly this would have been a nice 4 star purchase. Hopefully my review will help someone with the decision, after all said and done I do believe this is a worth while upgrade to the Sv08.Well this kit has a few shortcomings, I love the Sv08 and would highly recommend it but the official enclosure has issues.1) The included drag chain connections, they were 3d printed in brittle Pla and look to be only 2 wall and less than 10% infill. No QC was preformed on these parts imo, so I reached out to the seller and sovol provided a file to print my own. Again not the best solution but eh whatever it's fixed so let's move on.2) Holes in my sv08 for bottom door catch were too small, needed to drill and tap them to fit. Then after that was done realized I was missing the needed countersunk screws to install the door catches and hinges so I have a half completed enclosure until I hear back from seller again.3) Color of panels do not match the printer, took several photos to show this in different light and hopefully you can see what I am seeing. It looks very mismatched for a not so cheap product paint color codes should be same.4) Top glass panels do not have a hinge, this is a minor issue but one change that I would recommend to sovol.Now that the issues are out of the way, some of the positives are the glass very nice quality, paint finish on the panels is 100% covered (no missed or chipped spots) and holds up to minor scratches well. Assembly is very straight forward and overall good design of printer but to get full functionality I'd recommend printing a riser.

I like this enclosure a lot. It fits well the printer well and seems to be made with quality materials. It is a little expensive, but I liked that it's a complete kit and has glass doors and top. Overall installation was pretty straight forward. The cable chain is the only thing that I think could use some improvements. Some of the 3D printed parts broke easily. But there are solutions for this online.

SOVOL. Anything else need to be said every thing they make is Quality. Buy it put it on your SV08 and be Happy!

First off, the kit looks very professional on the unit. There are definitely air gaps, but does a pretty good job of sealing it up while looking great.1) Drag kit is made of PLA, the bracket for the AB gantry snapped with very little pressure, decided to ditch the entire drag kit as it really doesn't seem necessary the way the original cable harness is done.2) Front door backplate for the top is great, goes into metal frame, the bottom backplate screws into plastic. My printer happened to have slightly wider holes than m3, so I had to improvise with longer screws to grab the back of the backplate holes.3) Exhaust fan is a little frustrating to figure out with the instructions -- the front plate of the filter unit snaps on after you screw the base filter and the fan on. The screws are a little long and protrude into the case where it's possible to wear the gates belts under certain movements, went a size smaller down in screw length.4) I'm sure you already know this ... but the exhaust filter is inadequate and there is no space inside the sv08 for a nevermore. There are plenty of user made models that have much better filtration for printing ABS so I consider this exhaust nearly useless.Aside that, if you're willing to shell out the premium price, it does look very nice.Oh Additional: The Fan pin is PA2

The Cons:-Some of the parts used for the enclosure are 3d printed. That is as a general rule, ok. However, two of the critical parts are used to connect the drag chain to the flying gantry and the base. Both of those parts were broken. The parts look like they were printed at a very low infill (<10%) and had no effort to clean up stringing or raft/supports from printing. They were also made of PLA, which is probably not the best part for a repeatedly stressed part in an enclosure. Luckily, Sovol did put the .stl files on the wiki. I have access to another printer that would allow me to make them in ASA at a higher print quality than what was provided prior to finishing the enclosure.-Another gripe was that some of the fasteners for attaching the door were missing. Again, I was lucky that my local hardware store had similar ones in stock.-Third, one of the enclosure panels was bent on the corner. It was fixable with a set of parallel jaw pliers and some paper to protect the finish. My box was not damaged, and the parts were well packed, so it is possible that they knowingly shipped bad product.-The holes for the fasteners used to fix the panels in place had no discernable chamfer to the threaded hole opening. This made screwing in the M3 fasteners very fiddly.-There are noticeable gaps in the paneling that will let in air. This is not good for printing things like ABS and ASA.All in all, be prepared to adapt and overcome any issues .PROS:-The enclosure parts were packed very well. There was not discernable damage from shipment to the contents.-3d printed part files were published-The instructions were pretty decent. I would prefer that the parts bags labeled with the steps actually match what step they are used in though...
