    Easy PA filament.

    Bought a spool to print some wiper gears and window reg clips, info says that an enclosure is required i guess to keep the heat in ?
    Might have to knock up an alloy frame and get some perspex to cover it.

    Yes. My printer has one. But I’m not sure how much difference it makes. Maybe in winter. Mine is just perspex, a little like a turntable lid.

    Makes an enormous difference.

    Preheat the chamber too, using the build plate if you don’t have a heater, with the door closed before printing.
