Ender-3 MKSV1.4PI3B+

thingiverse

Spent nearly 9 hours searching for that perfect box for the MKS board and Pi, only to stumble upon this one and transform it into exactly what I was looking for by making some critical modifications. The resulting enclosure now comfortably holds an MKSV1.4 board, a Pi 3 B+, as well as space for two single relays that easily slide and lock in place. To further enhance its functionality, I added small pins that can be glued to the inner board bottom, allowing users to customize it according to their needs. Additionally, I carefully cut out openings for the Pi and extended the original carrier board. On the back, a mount has been included for the BIQU Heat Bed Power Module Expansion Hot Bed MOS Tube, while the front accommodates an addon 12864 LCD Graphic Smart Display. The design of the enclosure was left intact, with only the PSU being removed to provide easy access during printing. A button has also been added for resetting the display, although its size may need to be adjusted. With the first layer now complete at about 50% and some minor issues arising, such as the bottom starting to pull away from the edges, a wise decision would be to print a raft if possible to prevent further problems. Initially, I considered printing in top-down mode but am glad I didn't, as it could have led to disastrous results. Fortunately, I was able to hot glue the bottom down before any serious damage occurred and repair fallen supports. If all goes well, I plan to cure the print in a 100-degree oven for an hour to correct the bottom issue. Even if this doesn't work out, I can still salvage what's left and make it functional. As I reach layer 252, I'm stopping here and splitting the printing process into two parts, with plans to glue them together once complete.
