TBA: 3D Printer Tent Build
The 3D printer tent will be used to keep debris from getting on the print bed and other components. This is essential if you place the Creality Ender 3 V3 SE on the shelf of the Workbench.

2. Drilling the Holes in the Acrylic Sheet
I have created a 3D printed drill hole template to precisely place the drill holes in the acrylic. You slip the acrylic into the gap in the drill template at each corner of the acrylic.
- Left – Use Holes – 1, 5, and 6 for all corners of the left side acrylic sheet.
- Right – Use Holes – 1, 5, and 6 for all corners of the right side acrylic sheet.
- Back – Use Holes – 2, 4, and 7 for all corners of the back acrylic except the Back Bottom Piece.
- Back Bottom – Use Hole – 3.
- Top Left/Right – Use Holes – 2, 4, and 7.
- Top Back – Use Holes 1, 5, and 6.
