A Quick 'n Easy 3D Printer Enclosure
Why a 3D Printing Enclosure?
It's winter here, and the 3D printer starts jamming when the temperature goes below about 18°C (approx. 64°F). Plus, the ambient air temperature affects the quality and strength of the print. Heating the entire room is rather wasteful, so I decided to build an enclosure.
Quick 'n Easy?
Hey, it's two shelving units bolted together wrapped in a vinyl table cloth that's attached with duct tape. You could buy the parts and put it together in an afternoon. Sure, it doesn't look elegant, but it works. I could have designed a professional looking enclosure with acrylic walls, but that would have taken much longer and cost a lot more too. I'd rather spend that time (and money) using the printer.
How do You Heat it?
Ah, heating it proved to be harder than expected. Sticking a 2.4KW heater in a small space like this is asking for trouble, and low wattage heaters are hard to come by (at least in New Zealand). I'll tell that story in a future blog post, when I have everything set up.

raylib-2d-challenge-part-12-building-a
In the last episode we had Scarfy cheerfully running around collecting coins. But, there was a problem looming. Every coin/object was loading its own copy of the textures & sounds that it needed, which is a massive waste.
What we need is a resource manager. Hans builds a simple resource manager in this video, and eliminates the duplicate resources.

SOME
some-things-school-taught-you-must-be
Is it okay to use StackOverflow at work? Is it cheating? Some say yes. In this video Hans goes over why it's perfectly okay to use StackOverflow at work, and thinking it's not comes from a school mindset. In the workforce, you're paid for results, not for proving that you know how to figure it out yourself. However, blindly copying code is risky, because it's NOT production ready (e.g., no error checking).

P.S., I forgot to mention in the video. If you copy stuff, it's a good idea to credit the original author, and link to where you got it from.
