TESTED AND FAILED, DON'T PRINT TILL I UPDATE IT! WORK IN PROGRESS AND UNTESTED!!! Again! This is untested, I make changes to it as I go. I did and will find more issues with the design, please don't download and print it all before everything's made! Work in progress design, at the time of upload the prints are being printed. The design of the case allows for easy access by sliding out the printer so you can reach it. Every orange part in the design is 3D printed and fits on a 220mm X 220mm bed. Everything else is 12mm MDF wood panels, and some Plexiglass. Design was made to require minimal wood work, with Plexiglass panels that can be glued or held in place by little holders (included). On the back of the design is a hole for a 120mm fan but more blueprints will be uploaded soon. I'll also include pictures as I build it and keep updating this. I'm printing all the parts at 20% infill. Update: (5/10/18) + After printing a few parts, I found out that 8mm is too big, so I changed them all to 4mm. This will make my 2.5x12mm screws fit better. Update: (7/2/18) + I updated all the models to be 4mm instead of 8mm. This will reduce print times. + I fixed a bit screw holes, some were incorrectly placed. + I named everything a bit better, before some were in Dutch! + I added an opening on one of the support pieces to put a power connector in. + I added 2mmGlassHolder to it, so you can screw them on instead of using glue. Update: (7/4/18) + I updated the BackCornerLeftv2, BackCornetRightv2, BottomSupportMiddlev2 and BottomSupportMiddlePowerOpeningv2. Made them a bit smaller so they won't take 6 hours to print. Because my printer skips the 104mm layers, I had to make it below that. + The updated models have new screw holes to Update: (7/5/18) + I updated the images but removed some blueprints off it as some are incorrect. + I added a 80mm fan holder for the back side. It's really 79mm, so a normal 80mm won't fit well, so a holder has been added. Update: (7/10/18) + I updated the front panel parts to take less time to print, + I added a little hole to the left front panel to install a reset button. More info on this later, but basically a reset button switch like you can find on the centre(center) of the default Anet A8 board.
