Wham Bam Laser Window for HotBox Mega Enclosure - 566 x 530

With so many different 3D filaments and unique polymers available to 3D Makers, it’s awesome to know that there is a filament out there for almost any application, from the easy-printing decorative nature of PLA to the extreme capabilities of PEEK. However, while we do have a lot of different materials at our disposal, not all 3D printers are capable of printing in every material, and most 3D Printers are somewhat confined to the more basic PLA and PETG polymers, and typically require some extra modifications or 3D printer accessories to print in higher strength polymers. This is why we love cool upgrades like the Wham Bam HotBox Mega 3D printer enclosure, as this simple but valuable upgrade provides just the right stuff to let standard PLA-capable 3D printers branch out into the world of ABS filaments and other higher temperature polymers.

This add-on Laser Window is a quick upgrade to your Hotbox Mega for FDM printers. The red Laser Window filters out all visible and invisible light in the 405-455nm light range. That makes your enclosure laser-safe. This upgrade is especially helpful for printers that you've modified with laser engraving and cutting. For your safety, we always recommend to use eye protection in the presence of lasers. Even looking elsewhere in the room may not save your eyes from residual harmful light. Enclosures with a red laser window like this upgrade to your Wham Bam HotBox Mega are fantastic for completing containing the light emitting from your laser print head.

The Wham Bam HotBox Mega features a really clever design that utilises lightweight insulation and metal zips to form a relatively sturdy and surprisingly strong insulating box. The add-on Wham Bam Laser Window is likewise covered with fire-resistant nylon, as well as heat-reflecting metallic lining. A velcro strip is added to attach it to the top of the HotBox Mega to keep the panel open and out of your way while working.

Finally, the following video from Wham Bam Official gives us an exclusive look at the benefits and use of this new Wham Bam Laser Window upgrade for your printer:

Wham Bam Systems is a funky, lively brand created by Peter Solomon, who has actually been a relatively well known inventor for 45 years now. From developing laboratory methods and protocols, to work on complex interferometer mechanisms, Peter has been applying for patents since as far back as 1984 – and now his most recent work is the reinvention of the 3D Printer Build Platform. This is how Wham Bam Systems started, and since 2019 they have been gaining popularity as some of the most effective and most convenient build plate systems on the market.

Catering to a large range of popular 3D Printers from leading hobbyist 3D Printer brands, Wham Bam Systems offers some of the best build plates on the market, and with the recent addition of the Wham Bam HotBox to their catalogue, we can’t wait to see what else Wham Bam Systems has in the pipeline for future upgrades.
