Anet A8 Electronics Case

thingiverse

This is a remake, of Anet A8 Electronics Case by FqFKrazz. Originally, I was struggling to find a case that would fit my printer bed so I decided to take this one and cut it into three pieces in order to make it fit perfectly. To add functionality, I also incorporated holders for two MOSFETs into the top portion of the case, as well as cutting the covers to fit each of the three separate pieces. What I like most about this case is the way the USB ports are located on the side and its ability to fit snugly around my Hulk frame braces. Additionally, there's ample space to hold all the components I wanted to include in my build. After assembling everything on my printer, it fits quite well overall. However, I did have to drill a few holes through the case and frame for screws to secure it properly. To attach the MOSFETs and motherboard, I used some spare screws I had lying around. Keep in mind that the screw holes are relatively small, so you might want to consider purchasing smaller screws. If you're already using M3 screws from a previous build, they should work, but be prepared for a bit of force to get them to fit into the tiny holes. To make room for the top part of my Hulk frame, I also had to cut a small piece out of the case with a Dremel. In addition to these modifications, I added an optional Raspberry Pi compartment to the top portion of the case. The Raspberry Pi fits sideways in this location, with the USB ports sticking out to the left. I've included an STL file that illustrates the correct placement for your reference.
