Hey there, so I decided to remix the Case for a couple reasons. 1. I only need one MOSFET; a dedicated external MOSFET for the Hotend is overkill in my opinion. 2. I wanted the openings for cable routings to be bigger. 3. Several other minor changes led to... 4. No F3D file was available for the original, so I rebuilt it instead of remixing. The case in general is pretty nice; since I wanted to add or remove a couple things, my version is somewhat different. PLEASE NOTE: The original Z-Endstop is not compatible with this case or its original; the right side of the two screws that fixate the Endstop is blocked by the case. It's nothing you can quickly fix with something like a Lego block or similar. If you prefer to put another hole in the Case so the original Endstop works, feel free to do so; an F3D file is included. (Oh, and yeah, I'm no Fusion360 wizard... so bear with me, please.) Give the original designer some credit - all I did was build on his design. Cheers Update: I reuploaded all three files due to an issue my friend found out about after printing the case; my print off the original file works fine, but the newer version is a little more forgiving when it comes to tolerances. Update July 4, 2017: I added a Dual Mosfet Version by demand (Still think it's unnecessary). Additional Notes: To mount the Case and Mainboard to the frame, you use the four M3 bolts and nuts that originally held the Mainboard in place. To screw the Cover onto the Case, heat and insert three M3 nuts into the corresponding holes. (A couple seconds with an ordinary lighter holding it with a screw or something). To screw the Mosfet in place, use four self-tapping screws.
