Description

Modified cutout seals for the Python AMS Enclosure that have gasket groves and a TPU model for those gaskets. While this will technically improve the air-tightness of these seals, it is unlikely to make any functional difference in your enclosure without additional modifications. The stock enclosure is simply not designed to be air-tight. I am working on a better mounting system for the PolyDryer and this is the first step. I have seen many requests for air-tight parts for the Python Enclosure, so I figured I would share. Additionally, this replacement installs under tension, so if you have a print that vibrates your enclosure, there is no more rattling from the seals. This is, admittedly, a very minor problem, but I do sometimes watch TV from the couch next to my printing cabinet. The other (primary, IMO) improvement is to change the sliding direction from up-down to left-right. With the stock seals there is limited space to slide the backs down from the top, while these will allow you to use the functionally limitless space to the center of the enclosure. NOTE: These parts will be much tighter than the stock parts, by design. Any seam artifacts, or imprecise seating of the gasket, may make the seal overly difficult, if not impossible to install. ---- All parts (except the gasket itself) should be compatible with the stock seals and enclosure. You can use a modified back with a stock front and visa versa . However, you must use the modified fronts if you also want to use a gasket. Print however you want; there are no overhangs and no supports, rafts, or brims needed. Orient with the large flat side down and use whatever settings you prefer. Any filament suitable for your enclosure should work just fine. Print the gaskets in something flexible or with give. The gasket is too small for there to be any infill, so all the compression ability comes from the filament's intrinsic squishiness. I used Sain Smart 95A with the default Bambu profile and it works fine. ---- Updates: v0.3 fixes a cosmetic transcription error, and the result of a Meshmixer artifact that made the rear cover tighter than necessary. There is nothing functionally wrong with v0.2, but v0.3 will be easier to use and more faithful to the stock enclosure parts.
