Does anyone one here have one? Is the juice worth the squeeze?

You haven't built your LACK enclosure yet?

I have one, I wouldn't recommend it.
If you need to take the printer out, you need to get tools to detach the wiring from the controls. The QD wiring option is for the MK3, not the MK4. It is covered with holes, so you might want to print a bunch of plugs to print the holes. It is pricy for what you get. If you are just printing PLA, it can get too hot in the enclosure for it. If I were to do it again, I'd just build a custom enclosure. |

I'd probably do another LACK.
I built one from extrusion, not cheap, but I wanted special features. |

I have one and like it. I have my mk3.9 in it with the qd wiring harness. Only complaint I have is having to unplug the screen cable and ground when I take it out of the enclosure. I put electrical tape on it to seal all the holes and have the air filter and led kit on it too. The hinged lid is nice in my opinion, but my neighbor hated it and went to the fixed lid on his mk4. Not cheap, but the lack enclosure I built fell apart and I didn't feel like making another.

I bought a MK4 and the enclosure for work. It's good for what it does. Close the doors for ABS and leave the doors open for everything else.
At home I had some 80/20 stuff and built one out of that with plexiglass. Free stuff. Anyway, no way I would buy one unless I just had the cash to burn. |

Switchwire is what you are looking for.
$650 SW > $850 MK4s Prusa was never meant to be enclosed. Petg is not happy at high temps. ABS parts are available, though. Use it for what it is instead of what it is not. |

Not even the support guys on the Voron discord could get it working. |
