You Really Do Want to Read the Directions
Hey, we get it. You just got your new enclosure kit and want to start using it as fast as possible.
How hard can assembling a few plastic panels possibly be? It’s not that hard, assuming you’re
following the directions, but try to use brute force, and you’ll end up working your way through
your vocabulary of swear words. While the acrylic pieces in the kit are strong and difficult to
harm accidentally, they are still plastic and will break if bent far enough. The ghosts of the
broken panels that have gone before you have become much stronger than you could ever
imagine, whispering in your ear, “just be a little careful.” "
Before you Start
Is This Manual for Yo u r Kit?
This installation manual covers the R2 enclosure design for the Taz6 enclosure. If you have a
different version of the enclosure, please read the correct manual version available on the
website. "
Is your Taz6 Customized?
$
If your printer is stock, then no customization is needed. If you have customized the printer,
you should examine any modifications to ensure they don't block the panels. If part of one of
the panels is blocked, you can use a laser or drill to customize one or more panels. This
should be done before removing the plastic or paper covers on the acrylic panels.
Cutting acrylic requires great care as the plastic can crack if mishandled.
Preparing the Printer!
Remove any filament from the hot end (which will require heating the hot end) and remove the
filament spool from the spool holder."
Turn the printer offand unplug the power cable from the printer’s power supply. "

Don’t Panic If You See This!!
If you can’t see through the plastic, please don’t
panic! What you’re seeing is just the plastic or paper
protective covering."
When plastic sheets are manufactured, they are covered
by either a paper (brown colored) or plastic (white)
covering to protect against scratches. Follow the
directions below to remove the cover and discover the
beautiful plastic underneath. "
To remove the covering from an acrylic panel, lay the
panel flat on a table. Then peel up a corner of the
covering and CAREFULLY and SLOWLY pull
horizontally to the sheet to reduce the lateral forces
that would bend the acrylic. This video shows just
what to do. "

Warning
Please do not move the Taz6 when the
enclosure is installed. If you need to move
the Taz6 itself, remove the enclosure by lifting
it straight vertically."

Everything You Wanted to Know About Screwing But
Were Afraid to Ask
The most confusing thing about assembling this enclosure will be which fastener or screw to
use. Luckily it's pretty easy to figure out once you know the system. While the same screw to
use will be detailed in each manual section, you probably won't need to refer to it once you
know the secrets."
The most common screw is the 12mm hex cap head screw. The 12mm screws are long
enough to attach things to the acrylic front, top, sides, and back. "
Each section will describe exactly which screw to use, read carefully, and use the specified
screw for the best results. "
The actual length of the "long" screws to attach the fan and or filter will vary depending on the
depth of the particular shipment of fans we happen to get that month. They won't be hard to
spot since they'll be the longest thing in the bags. Assemble Panels"
The front panels are thicker 1/4" acrylic to provide more structural rigidity for the doors. Do not
try to bend the 1/4” acrylic!"

1. Identify the Corner Connectors
Each corner of the enclosure will be held together by the connectors pictured below. There are only two
versions, L and R, which can be identified by the letters stamped on the inside. The opposite
connectors are identical, i.e., the Bottom Right is the same as Top Left. In all cases, the surface of the
connector with the cutout pattern faces front or back."
2. Attach The Door Frame Corners!
The front door is designed so that the latches are on the left. Attach the door
connectors on the backside of the door frame using the provided cap head 14mm
screws. See the photos below. The top of the connector should be flush with the
acrylic top."

There are also mid-panel connectors on the top and left and right sides of the door
frame. These should be attached using M4 cap head 12mm screws."
3. Assemble Latch Mount
Locate the magnetic latch and use the wood
screws to attach it to the latch mount. Hand
tighten and ensure it's secure, but do not
overtighten, or the screws may strip. The latch
can be later adjusted front-to-back to ensure the
door is flush with the door frame. "
The assembled latch mount is attached to
the inside of the door frame via two M4
14mm cap head screws at the bottom of the
door frame, as shown to the right. "

4. Assemble Door
Attach the hinges to the outside of the door frame using M4 cap head 12mm screws
and nuts. There will be some play in the hole size so that you can adjust the door to
swing freely. Be sure to insert the interior door the same way you removed it from the
front panel. There can be slight variations in the laser angle, so the door works best if
the same orientation."
Attach the doorknob by first inserting the square M4 nut into the slot. Use a 16mm
cap head screw to attach the door."
Attach the strike plate by attaching the adhesive
rubber backing to the acrylic. The black square strike
plate should then fit snuggly over the backing. If there
is slippage, bend the strike plate slightly."

The front should now look like the picture below. "
"
You’ll also want to make sure the front door swings smoothly. The easiest way is to lay
the enclosure on a towel on its side so the hinges are at the top. Loosen the screws
attaching the hinges to both the door and the door frame and use the magnetic latch
to hold the door in the middle of the hole. Now tighten the screws again, and the door
should swing freely."
If you still have trouble getting the door to swing freely, you can try reversing the
interior door if it wasn’t attached in the same orientation as it was cut on the laser."

5. Assemble Back
The view to the right is of the back of the enclosure
when viewed from the back. The four corner
connectors are mirror images of the front on the
other side of the plastic in this view. The large hole
is either for an air filter (purchased separately) or can
be covered up by a plastic disc using short M4 10mm
screws. On the top and side are “mid-panel corner
connectors,” which are simple L-shapes. "
