Ender 3 Enclosure Electronics Box

thingiverse

Hey all, this is my take on a DIY Ender 3 control box. This box houses the mainboard and screen, as well as a digital thermometer, power switches, LED light switches, and an SD card adapter, all of which are connected at the bottom. To provide extra cooling, I made a mount for a 24v 120mm fan that's plug-and-play with stock Ender 3 mainboards, requiring no soldering. This is also linked below, along with plenty of air ventilation holes on the sides and back. My design uses all the stock screws to secure the screen and mainboard to the new control box, eliminating the need for any additional hardware. I'm currently working on rearranging some internals to create room for a Raspberry Pi and buck converter here soon, which should be great news for Octoprint users. Keep an eye out for this update! Wires run through any of the holes in the bottom into the enclosure. For those who want to make their own changes and improvements, I've included the Fusion 360 files so you can customize them to fit your specific needs. Any comments or feedback is greatly appreciated - just drop them below. Thanks!
