Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the most commonly used additive manufacturing technologies. The print quality in this process significantly depends on environmental conditions, such as ambient temperature and relative humidity. This thesis presents the development of a closed printer enclosure equipped with an integrated microclimate control system based on the Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi platform. The system enables active control of temperature and humidity within the chamber using sensors, heaters, and fans. Experimental measurements and comparative prints with and without environmental control were conducted. Results indicate significantly improved print quality, better layer adhesion, higher dimensional accuracy, and fewer defects in the printed objects. The developed solution confirms the hypothesis that microclimate control substantially contributes to the reliability and quality of FDM printing.
