Just started my journey into 3D printing with an Ender 5 Pro and was after an enclosure.
I was so close to making a plywood enclosure (similar to the one made by Shane Jamerson –https://discuss.inventables.com/t/ender-3-enclosure/85480) when I stumbled upon people using Ikea Platsa.

Build List
1 x Ikea Platsa 60x55x60 cm 303.874.82
1 x Ikea VÄRD Glass Door 60×60 cm 103.837.91
1 x Ikea Ledberg LED Lighting Strip 304.012.23
I decided on a 60 vs 120 height enclosure as I wanted it modular/stackable in the event there might be another one in the future, and the option to move it around.
The Platsa spool holder by dermatin ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3417593 ) unfortunately wouldn’t work in this case as the Ender 5 Pro control panel + frame would be interfering. I therefore decided to hack one up (I’m new to Tinkercad) using the HJÄLPA Clothes rail spool holder adapter by Jurriaan ( https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/30280-hjalpa-clothes-rail-spool-holder-adapter/files ) and Ikea PLATSA spool holder by Shaun ( https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/29457-ikea-platsa-spool-holder ). This fits nicely in the middle of the Platsa frame and will allow an easier change of filament.
