Ender 3 MKS and Raspberry Pi Rear Enclosure

UPDATE 14/02/2019 - Do Not Print It I successfully printed the enclosure over the last couple of days, while everything bolted together nicely, unfortunately it doesn't fit in the rear of the frame :( The drama is centered around the stepper motor and end stop. I will print a modified end stop and see if I can get it to fit before making any serious changes to the design. This project is a mash-up of ideas from multiple different sources. I wanted an enclosure that was mounted at the rear of the printer, housing the MKS Gen L motherboard, a Raspberry Pi for Octoprint, a Buck Converter to power the Pi, and a 4-channel relay module to turn all my lights and printer on. I tried several other designs but found them either flimsy or they didn't meet my requirements. Essentially I wanted a single piece enclosure that could be printed on the Ender 3, so I split the enclosure and then added four screws to bolt the two halves together. I also needed to access the USB ports on the MKS and the Pi, which is why the boards are oriented in this way and there are cutouts in the back panel. It's a work in progress, and I'm waiting for some black PLA+ to print it. I'll post images when I have them. The 4-port relay module is a Duinotech module. I used it because it has a slightly smaller footprint, and well...I had one
