Ender 3 or Universal Electronics Box

thingiverse

UPDATE 2/5/2019 ------------------------------------------ I've decided to take this project in a fresh direction. The top and bottom are now printed, while the walls of the box/tube use approximately 1/2 inch wood or plywood. I'll be mounting the electronics directly to the walls from now on. Hopefully, these pictures will provide some clarity! Note: I'm using two round toggle switches to control a laser and LEDs in my enclosure. Additionally, I've implemented a microSD to full SD extension that slides into the top. To secure it in place, I used a small amount of hot glue. ------------------------------------------- My Ender 3 is now housed in an enclosure with extended electronics and panel-mounted on the side. Following an accidental short circuit, I realized the need for a protective case. I wanted something that could accommodate upgrades without requiring a complete reprint. I'm planning to upgrade to a MKS Gen L, so I've designed the panels to be large enough to accommodate this new component. The box is constructed with modularity in mind, allowing users to customize and modify it to suit their needs. The board panels are 100x130x2mm in size, featuring standoffs for mounting and cutouts to simplify wiring and reduce filament usage. I've included the following arrangements: * Two 60mm fan panels * A vent panel * Three TL smoother panels * An Ender 3 control board panel * An orange Pi Lite panel
