Custom Electronics Enclosure

thingiverse

This 3D tower enclosure was customized to use the exact electronics, hole placements, and labels using a free design tool at https://www.jdeation.com/3d-project-boxes We wanted quick control of our 3D printer while standing at the printer. So we built the Ultimate Octoprint Enclosure! This project is a mashup of several great techs out there which combined together gives you touchscreen and physical button control of your Octoprint connected 3D printer all housed in a super clean 3D printed enclosure. *Key Mashup Components:* - Jdeation Enclosure Designer: https://www.jdeation.com/d/QNOGJ1R8 - Octoprint Components: - Octoprint: https://octoprint.org - OctoDash: https://unchartedbull.github.io/OctoDash/index.html - OctoBuddy: https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/OctoBuddy/ - OctoPrint-HeatLed: https://github.com/jchancel/OctoPrint-Heatled - All other hardware and electronics can be found on the Jdeation Enclosure Shopping List: https://www.jdeation.com/d/QNOGJ1R8 *Optional Components not otherwise specified:* - 1 to 2 Expansion Board: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MCW4KCM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Terminal Block: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M27459S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 *General Software Install Steps:* https://github.com/guysoft/OctoPi - Install OctoPI image - Update wifi settings - Boot Raspberry PI For the Adafruit 3.5 TFT this is probably required to fix an issue where the touch screen is 90 degrees rotated from the display screen. This install lightdm is definitely a hack but it causes the adafruit drivers install to auto update the x-drivers with the proper rotation https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/issues/1029 - SSH into RP and Install lightdm - fixes 90 degree issue - sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get install lightdm https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pitft-3-dot-5-touch-screen-for-raspberry-pi/easy-install-2 SSH into RP and Install adafruit touchpad drivers - 'sudo python3 adafruit-pitft.py' - Installed my PiTFT 3.5" - Selected [4] - Selected [1] for 90 deg orientation - No to console - Yes to HMDI mirror - Reboot If you did #4 then: - SSH into RP and Uninstall lightdm: sudo apt-get remove lightdm https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/wiki/Installation - SSH into RP and Install octodash via automatic method https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/OctoBuddy/ - Install OctoBuddy https://github.com/jchancel/OctoPrint-Heatled - Install OctoPrint-Headled
