I’m looking to do some work on an enclosure and I was hoping someone could share their 3D CAD solid models (IGES, .IGS, or STEP, .STP) of a TAZ4/5 at the very top level. I want to have a top level layout including all the frame members, Y table, Z climber, Rambo enclosure, ETC. Does this exist anywhere? I have looked for it on Aleph Objects’ site without success. I’d be happy to share as I make improvements and fill in any gaps in the solid models. TIA and keep printing. Coolhand2k ---

I have looked in both locations and I did see a few Solidworks part files and some free CAD formated files but I’ve got to believe that their engineering team has a fully assembled layout sitting in their Solidworks PDM system. If they could just open it in a Solidworks session and and export as an IGES file I’d be all set. 😉 ---

What a beautiful model and what a fruitful website. I’ve only had my TAZ for a couple of months but clearly I’ve got some exploring to do. Thanks to piercet and the biggest props goes out to Jonathan Brazeau for the source. It really is fantastic! 4 post later and I’m sure these forums have the best users! ---

In my hurry to start my update project, I meant to thank tmorris9 for the correct answer. THANK YOU tmorris9. ---

Here is my update …I’ve started my enclosure project and am using the files in the link earlier. Only 2 versions, .stp or .sldprt. Neither is parametric and both import as surface only models. I wish he had provide access to the .sldasm file. I’ll update here when the enclosure is further along. ---

Excellent info in this thread. I’m also looking at enclosure options for my TAZ5. I’m at work, doing some web browsing and can’t open the files in the previous post. I wonder if anybody happens to know the operating area of the TAZ5? How much internal space do I need to safely move the bed to the max position in all directions? ---

You may want to look at this one instead of designing your own. > [@HOT BOX 3DP ENCLOSURE SYSTEM (For Taz)](https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/hot-box-3dp-enclosure-system-for-taz/1283/1): > > 2-25-2016 \*\*\*The main file package for this build can be found here: [https://grabcad.com/library/hotbox-diy-enclosure-for-3d-printing-1/details?folder\_id=1004116](https://grabcad.com/library/hotbox-diy-enclosure-for-3d-printing-1/details?folder_id=1004116) In here you will find everything you need to build the “Hot Box” enclosure including a 100+ page build guide with HD renderings and clear instructions, a BOM list for all the hardware and all the .stl files required.
