A8 MKS GEN V1.4 board case

Update November 27, 2019: Several modifications were made to part A - the rear cable duct was improved, and the structure's rigidity for mounting points was enhanced (not ideal, but necessary). M3 and M4 threads are also present in the mounting points (if they work, I will keep them). Update November 24, 2019: A test print of part A was completed, but it requires several design adjustments - cable routing and rigidity for screw mounting points need improvement. A case to accommodate the MKS GEN board instead of the original Anet V1.7 in my A8 printer is being developed. This design features a 70 mm unused CPU computer fan, with a simple fin inside directing air flow towards motor drivers. The board must be mounted with its bottom facing part B, allowing access for the USB port and reset button. Then, it will be mounted top-facing the printer, with part A respectively. Part A is designed to match the stock holes for M3 bolts in the printer's frame, functioning as an adapter. Four M4 bolts and four M3 bolts from the stock printer are used. The holes are designed to fit the smaller diameter of "M" threads, eliminating the need for nuts.
