Seems kinda short I feel like maybe I should've gotten 3.  I guess I can go back and get another.  

Is anyone selling pre-printed parts to make an enclosure that isn't charging as much as a new printer for the parts?  I don't want to spend the time printing the enclosure parts, I just want to assemble it.  I haven't done any printing in months really, the last thing I tried to print somehow caused my nozzle to crash into my PEI build plate and mess up the texture.  Not sure why, I think I manually turned the Z axis motor trying to figure out why it was screeching.  

On that note, would case sizing lube work OK for lubing the Z screw?

Get three.

Keep in mind a full set of pieces uses three spools of filament. That's $100 using decent filament. So after you consider shipping and profit...yeah, they are pricey.

You could probably lower infill and skip spool holders and get away with two spools if you really wanted to.

Just printed my second enclosure building it this upcoming weekend.

Here is the link. I think you need two rolls.

I used three as I also did the printer parts and spool holder. And I also use a third table.
