A Simple 1 Channel Relay Case (Encloser/Box)

thingiverse

I am customizing my Anet A8 using Octoprint and Raspberry Pi. This time, I'm trying to make my Octoprint server control the power On/Off of Anet A8 by utilizing a relay. So I tried to find a suitable case for my affordable relay on Thingiverse. Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough. There are many impressive cases for various relays, but none of them suited mine. So I designed one myself. For Relay size: 1 channel / 43 x 17 x 20 (mm) --- 2018-06-19 UPDATE (v4 & v5) - In version 4, I had to admit that the case of version 2 was too thin. So I thickened the wall. - In version 5, the version 4 was okay, but too tight. So I made a larger version of it. Now the base and case are in separate STL files. - Also, now there's no need for a stopper to close the case anymore. Once you close it, it will stay shut securely. (Caution!) - This is the final version of this relay case. I know there are still some issues, but I've already achieved my goal - creating a simple relay case for Raspberry Pi and Octoprint. - All previous STL files have been deleted. Only v4 and v5 are stored in a ZIP file. --- 2018-06-17 UPDATE (v2) - The edge of the cable closer was too sharp to print, so I added 0.5mm of extra wall and thickened it. - I fixed the mis-matching length of 2 cover's holes. (Critical mistake!) - I added a stopper to prevent easy opening. It's made very thin, so it could be a little bit weak. - The wall is only 1.5mm But I like this because I can save time for printing and also money on filament. =) Someday I might make a thicker version, but for now, I'm fine with it. Thanks.
