ENDER 3 FRONT Enclosure and Grills V3

This object was made in Tinkercad. Edit it online https://www.tinkercad.com/things/gfpZkGhTNhy I'm already building a Voron Switchwire, so I don't necessarily want to rebuild my Ender 3 into a EndaWire or anything. I am contemplating upgrading my Ender 3 a bit, however, possibly with some MGN12 linear rails and a dual feed Z-axis. Mostly, I really want to make a better enclosure, and get the electronics out of that silly metal box. So I've designed some brackets for deck panels and side enclosure panels, and remixed some Switchwire-style grills to fit the front. You need to print two end grilles, and one centre grill. I made the grilles with a dado so the deck panels will be inset a bit. The centre grille has a bit of a notch, to clear the Y-axis. The rear end grilles have keystone mounting plates. I use the right one to mount an RJ-45 extension for the network connection. For the left rear grille I have an adapter to connect a usb cord through a small pcb. The adapter also plugs into a keystone jack.See my thing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5721495 I have also included some bracket designs, One is like corner-brackets, and is meant to support panels in the cavities between the 4040 "feet" of the Ender 3. The other brackets will slip onto the 4040 rails, outboard, to mount enclosure panels just outside the x-axis gantry. Two sets at the bottom, one at the top.
