NOTE: The following instructions are only for those who have purchased this optional add-on with the MINI Enclosure. If you have not purchased this add-on, please proceed to step Installing the top panel.
⬢For the following steps, please prepare:
⬢Fire suppression system tube (1x) type: T033E BlazeCut T Series Fire Suppression 1 System with a pressure gauge
⬢Attach the prepared Fire suppression and align the bracket with the holes in the MINI Top panel. Mind the orientation of the Fire suppression in the picture.
In this step, you will learn how to secure the panels with the nylon rivets. Remember this method, as you will use it throughout the assembly.
⬢From the inside, carefully place the MINI Top window panel over the rectangular opening in the MINI Top panel.
⬢Align the holes of both parts.
⬢Insert the nylon rivet through the holes of both parts.
⬢Push on the nylon rivet to secure the window panel in the frame. When pressing on the nylon rivet, apply light pressure on the opposite side, specifically on the MINI Top window panel around the rivet.
⬢Repeat this procedure for the remaining holes in the opening.
⬢Turn the Enclosure sideways so that the rear side (without the PRUSA logo) is facing you.
⬢Peel off the protective layers from both sides of the MINI Back panel.
Be careful; the panel is very susceptible to scratches.
⬢From the inside, carefully place the MINI Back panel to the rear Enclosure "frame".
Mind the correct orientation of the panel. The octagonal cutout must be at the bottom.
⬢Align the holes of the panel and the Enclosure "frame" and secure it with one nylon rivet near the top right corner. When pressing on the nylon rivet, apply light pressure on the opposite side, specifically on the MINI Back panel around the rivet.
⬢In this way, secure the panel around the entire perimeter.
⬢If you are going to install the Advanced filtration system optional add-on, leave the marked holes empty.
NOTE: The following instructions are only for those who have purchased this optional add-on with the MINI Enclosure. If you have not purchased this add-on, please proceed to step Side panels: parts preparation
⬢Tear open the filter bag and remove the HEPA filter.
Handle the filter with caution. If the HEPA surface (the white pleated surface) is damaged, the filter will lose its efficiency. Protect your hands when you take off the used filter and put it in a plastic bag. A saturated filter is not recyclable.
NOTE: The following instructions are only for those who have purchased this optional add-on with the MINI Enclosure. If you have not purchased this add-on, please proceed to step Door hinges: parts preparation
⬢LED Stick Board (1x) WARNING: Make sure to protect the electronics against electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always unpack the electronics right before you need them!
The nut must be completely embedded in the printed part and flush with the surface of the part. Insufficient embedment of the nut can cause problems when mounting in the enclosure.
⬢Slide the lower slot of the LED Stick Bracket on the LED Stick Board and align the bracket against the first hole in the LED Stick Board closest to the (white) LED stick connector.
Avoid sliding the bracket over chips and diodes! It can be fatally damaged.
⬢Push the LED Stick Bracket all the way on the LED Stick Board.
⬢Use this procedure for all three LED Stick Brackets.
⬢From the outside, insert three M3x18 screws into the holes in the front left support profile.
⬢From the inside of the enclosure, attach the LED strip assembly so that the LED stick brackets are aligned precisely with the screws. Attach the back side (the side without the diffuser).
Make sure, the LED connector is facing down.
⬢Once the LED strip is aligned, attach it by tightening all three inserted M3x18 screws. Tighten them firmly but gently.
If you have only the White LED Strip add-on, skip this step.
⬢Guide the zip tie thought the perforation in the top panel near the filtration.
⬢Using this zip tie, secure the filtration cable. Do not overtighten the zip tie, as it may cause fatal damage to the cable.
⬢In the same way, secure the cable to the four perforations in the left rear profile. Do not overtighten the zip ties, as it may cause fatal damage to the cable.
Exercise caution when handling anything inside the enclosure. There are sharp metal plates, so avoid injury.
⬢Guide the cable along the rear side of the Enclosure and secure it using three zip ties through the perforations. Do not overtighten the zip ties, you can damage the cable.
⬢Guide the PSU cable along with the FAN cable on the left side of the Enclosure and secure it with the three zip-ties. Do not overtighten the zip ties, you can damage the cables.
⬢If you have installed the Advanced Filtration System, guide the filtration cable together with the PSU cable. Secure it with one extra zip tie in the left corner. Do not overtighten the zip tie, you can damage the cables.
These steps are only for LED strip and Advanced filtration system owners only. The smaller PSU space is for those with additional PSU. Otherwise, skip to Door hinges: parts preparation
⬢PSU holder is not included in the package, you will need to print it out from Printables.com
Before starting printing, check what type of PSU you have!
⬢XP PSU: This PSU is larger than the Delta PSU. You will need the:
⬢Current-PSU-holder-XP.stl
⬢Add-on PSU-holder-A-XP.stl
⬢Add-on PSU-holder-B-XP.stl
⬢Delta PSU: This PSU is smaller than the XP PSU. You will need the:

⬢Place the enclosure hinge into the door hinge. See the correct orientation of both parts.
Look carefully at the orientation of both parts. Their reverse disassembly is impossible.
⬢Insert the pin from both side of the hinge.
⬢Push two pins all the way into the hinge against a hard surface (e.g. workshop table). The end of the pin must be aligned with the surface of the printed part.
In the following instructions, we will install the hinges on the left side. However, it is optional which side you install the hinges on. The procedure is identical and does not affect the later installation of the door.
⬢Turn the enclosure with the front side facing to you.
⬢Locate two holes on the top of the left support. From the inside, insert two M3x8 screws.
⬢Attach the hinge on the screws and tighten the screws. Mind the correct orientation of the hinge.
⬢Use the same procedure to mount the upper door-hinge.
⬢Perfect! You just successfully assembled the Original Prusa MINI Enclosure.
⬢Now it's time to put the printer inside. Let's move to chapter 3. Installing the printer.
