Creality Ender 3/ MKS GEN L Standalone PSU Enclosure

thingiverse

A work in progress standalone enclosure designed to fit snugly around the stock Ender 2/3 power supply unit. The enclosure mounts a MKS Gen L main board, three LM2596 step down buck converters, a Raspberry Pi, and a heated bed mosfet module (see link). Additionally, there is a shroud and cover designed to be fitted externally to the PSU, housing a Noctua 80 x 20 NF-R8 Redux axial fan. Note that this fitment requires drilling/cutting the PSU aluminum cover. One of each part is required. Slots are provided to house an M3 nut where possible, providing metal threads. Otherwise, the holes have been sized to be tapped M3, although I advise the fitment of M3 x 1.5D Helicoil inserts. The whole thing is assembled with M3 X 8, M3 x 12, and M3 x 20 socket head bolts, then secured to the PSU casing with M4 x 8 socket head bolts. All bolts are steel socket head. Required fixings include: * Six M4 x 8mm bolts * Twenty-three Helicoil inserts * Seventeen M3 nuts * Twenty-eight M3 x 8mm bolts * Ten M3 x 10mm bolts * Two M3 x 14mm bolts * One M3 x 16 bolt These are just the fixings required to hold the enclosure together and to the PSU. This list does NOT include the fixings required to mount the components inside the enclosure. The mosfet cover plate has been modified to eliminate a gap that was previously thought to be a good idea. https://www.novatech.co.uk/products/noctua-nf-r8-redux-1800rpm-pwm-80mm-quiet-case-fan/nf-r8redux1800rpmpwm.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAkrTjBRAoEiwAXpf9CY2_6Ta9QvBGpljzjFL3qScPfntWMyuy3cNlkkIePsYSrGftUtrcrBoCaVIQAvD_BwE#utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=products https://www.quietpc.com/na-ds-60 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BJZRSCP/ref=asc_df_B07BJZRSCP58580977/?tag=googshopuk-21&creative=22146&creativeASIN=B07BJZRSCP&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310621691516&hvpos=1o5&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7660570925759550460&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006628&hvtargid=pla-445138666471
