Maker Select Lack Table Enclosure questions..

Hi guys, Im sure some of you have or know of the issue I am thinking about as I start down the road of making an Enclosure for my Maker Select / Wanhao I3 .Everything looks good on all of the enclosures I have seen but one thing I notice is there is little room in the enclosure which means loading a new roll of filament is going to be more difficult since I will likely be giving up line of sight or having to stand at a weird angle to force the filament into the extruder.One thing I have noticed in many of the pictures of people who have these enclosures they have what seems to be an extra long PTFE tube coming out of the top of their extruder and extending all the way to the filament.Is this solely to make it easier to load filament? How much work is involved in doing this? Does anyone know of a guide for this?Next how have you handled placement of your control box? If you used plexiglass did you cut a hole in it to locate the box outside? Is there a better way that I didn’t think of?How do you handle heat in the box? Is there such thing as too much heat if you have the control box outside?What other things do you wish you’d have known before you made your enclosure?Thanks so much! http://ift.tt/29LtE8c
