EXTRACTED REQUEST: I have 2 3d printers adventure 5m and the creator 5 will be here soon. Im wanting to turn a closet into a print area by making a table that fills the whole distance. The only problem is I have no power outlets in the closet. Is there a surge protector or battery back up you recommend with a 10-15 ft cord that could handle them both

1. I have 2 3d printers adventure 5m and the creator 5 will be here soon. Im wanting to turn a closet into a print area by making a table that fills the whole distance. The only problem is I have no power outlets in the closet. Is there a surge protector or battery back up you recommend with a 10-15 ft cord that could handle them both
2. The closet doesnt have a door and is about 30 inches deep by 6 feet wide
3. I have a window on the opposite side of this room I was going to install a negative vent in

ASSISTANT RESPONSES:
1. For a 2-printer closet setup, the big thing is planning for continuous heater draw + startup spikes + safety — not just “surge protection.” Your Adventurer 5M is roughly in the ~350W range, and a Creator 5 can be significantly higher depending on chamber/bed heating, so running both together could realistically push 800–1500W+ at times. On a standard 15A / 120V circuit, practical safe continuous load is about 1440W max, and I’d personally aim lower for long print jobs. Straight answer: A battery backup (UPS) big enough for both printers is usually overkill, expensive, and may overload unless you buy a serious unit. For most print closets, a heavy-duty surge protector + proper extension strategy is the better m…
2. That actually gives you a pretty solid little print wall — 72" wide x 30" deep is enough to do this right without making a heat coffin. Closet print farm layout (your size): Best setup: - Adventure 5M + Creator 5 side by side - 30" depth is enough, but I’d leave 4–6 inches behind each printer for airflow/cable clearance - Build bench around 28–30" deep - Use 3/4" plywood or butcher block on a sturdy frame (2x4 or metal brackets) - Add a lower shelf for filament/dry boxes/UPS Ideal spacing: - Creator 5 on one side (bigger heat machine) - Adventure 5M on the other - Center area for tools / spool drying / webcam / power controls BIGGEST issue won’t be power — it’ll be heat Two printers in that space can absolutel…
3. That’s actually the ideal setup — negative pressure in the print room is smarter than trying to vent each printer individually, especially with an open closet. Best strategy: Exhaust air out the window → pull fresh air from the rest of the house into the room → room air moves past the print closet and out That keeps: - Heat down - PLA/PETG/ABS fumes lower - Dust drifting out of the closet reduced - Whole room under slight negative pressure Simple layout: Closet (printers) → room airflow → window exhaust fan What you want: Window fan mounted blowing OUT Not in. Size: - 6" inline fan = quieter, decent - 8" inline fan = better if Creator 5 runs hotter materials - Aim for roughly 150–400 CFM - Variable speed contr…

- 12-gauge or 14-gauge heavy-duty extension (10–15 ft)
- 15A minimum / 1875W rated
- Flat plug helps in closets
- Surge protection + breaker
- Avoid cheap skinny cords
- Creator 5 especially may deserve its own UPS due to higher power swings
