Goal:

Develop an automated heater capable of reaching 50C within a 3D printing enclosure in under 30 minutes

Requirements:

• Must heat the enclosure to 50C within 30 minutes
• Must include a safety feature to measure heating element temperature.
• Must be mounted on a stand that holds the heater at a height that avoids interference with printing operations.

Design Highlights:

• Utilizes K-type thermocouple for accurate exhaust temperature measurements.
• Incorporates a 3D printed stand to maintain optimal height.

Outcome:

Delivered a robust, automated heating solution that quickly and safely reaches the target temperature, enhancing print quality for temperature-sensitive materials without impacting printer functionality.
