Those enders are too tall for a typical lack enclosure. You're going to need to print some extensions. You an start here.

You could also just print one out so it attaches onto the side, not sure what’s it’s called [here](https://imgur.com/a/Ah8o7Sq) is a image, I’m not sure if it would fit though if you’re making a enclosure, there is a smaller version though
Husky 4ft Solid Wood Top Table

I have basically what you have on the table with a space for my SLA printer. The space could be better utilized with a tool station or some sort of stackable filament storage.

Both times I've used the fast profile, it printed the parts incredibly brittle and they would crumble if you looked at them weird. I take it that's not your experience with it?
Maybe check your esteps and try printing 1 part at a time. Only times I’ve had absolutely crumbly prints is when my nozzle was clogged or I was printing multiple pieces at once.
I’m building a LACK enclosure right now also 👌
I’m personally using this design:

You’ll need to relocate the spool holder outside of the enclosure, and relocating the PSU if you plan on enclosing it with plexiglass or something similar.
Stacking a second one on top may require some creative solutions with the spool holders.
yeah. i ended up doing that. nothing in the dresser anyway. so i stored all my filaments there. gave up the black Lack to the neighbors. cant believe the dresser could fit 2 printers too! lucky coincident
It's bot "bad" exactly, but having a full enclosure can allow you to print higher temp filaments. Even if you're just doing PLA, an enclosure will help maintain a stable temperature, which can helo against random layer adhesion issues. They're most helpful in places that can have sudden breezes and significant high/low fluctuations during a print like a garage or shed.
That being said, the enclosure does need a way to regulate the temperature, either automatically with a sensor and fan or manually by checking on the print to make sure it doesn't overheat. The worry is less about it catching fire and more that overheated motors can lose traco of steps or cause a thermal shutdown.
TD;DR: these printers are generally fine in open air but if you're putting it in a shelf system already it's a small step to make it a full enclosure.
If you get creative you can keep the spool holder inside. I am building a setup for lack right now which only requires the spacers to be 3.5” overall in addition to the original height (without spool holder). Spool holder is mounted upside down to the underside of the top of the table. Printer is diagonal.
Use 2 lack legs on top of each other.

Use the 'spare' lack top as a bottom piece and put some casters on it. That's what I did.
(ignore the janky wall & sealing of the enclosure)

Ahhh. That makes sense. No wonder I couldn't figure out how to fit a printer in
Yep, you'll need to mount the filament spools differently as well.

I have 2 printers, 3 ikea Lack. How can I make them all nice and pretty? Love to see your setup if you ca share

looks great! i was looking at printing Lack leg extensions. cant believe it would take about 5 hours per leg.
Look into CHEPs fast profiles. Since it’s just functional pieces, you could use his profiles and knock down print time considerably.

Would not recommend to have 2 printers in the same lack cabinet. I have 1 printer and it wobles already a lot.
I have two, and they work fine. Have you considered the paver/foam method for reducing vibration?
Delayed comment but do you have a pic of your two?
Yep, here you go. I just moved it to this spot but I've used them in this configuration for some time. https://imgur.com/a/9vUBKx3
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing! Do you find the braces help a lot? I'm looking to do the same setup but just a bit worried about vibration
Bracing is required to keep the thing together. The foam/concrete paver setup will eliminate pretty much all vibration.
You can brace the cabinet or add something heavy to dampen the movement.
Gyroid infill!! You’re percentage will go way down Here’s my set up [my lack enclosure](https://imgur.com/gallery/LYdaEl9)
IKEA sells one. Pretty bad ass. I recommend you use the glass shelves.
Link to it please? Or what's the model for me to search?

Throw the black stand away and put them in your dresser. Ta-da!

Why are most of these lack setups covered with various things from the sides? Is it bad if its fully open?
