Ender 5 plus - Case

thingiverse

Housing for an Ender 5 Plus. Printed components were made in NiceABS, and the following are still needed: Acrylic sheets: 2 pieces, each measuring 555x400x3mm; 2 pieces, each measuring 510x420x3mm; 2 pieces, each measuring 637x200x3mm; 2 pieces, each measuring 658x200x3mm; and 1 piece, measuring 661x640x5mm. Self-tapping screws 2.9mm by 6.5mm, washers, magnetic tape 20mm x 1m, slot nuts, and M4 screws are required. The holders for the lid attach with a slot nut. I tightened the rear wall with slot nuts so that the plate fits flush. You need an adapter for the extruder motor to fold it inwards by 90 degrees. I removed the nonsensical filament sensor; drawing the cable is enough, no other adjustments are necessary. I attached the front and two side walls with magnetic adhesive tape, making them easily removable. The front part of the lid is just pushed in, providing good access to the upper installation space. Two "Ecke-oben" pieces and 2 "V2-Ecke-oben" pieces are required if you want a removable front screen; otherwise, 4 "Ecke-oben" pieces will do. The "V2-Ecke-oben" piece must be printed once mirrored. The "Ecke-mitte" pieces mount between the corner brackets to prevent sagging; they can be seen in the second photo. I also taped the gaps at the corners with transparent tape. Edit 02.08.2020 I modified the front supports with an 8mm hole to fit two small LED strips, each 5cm long, in a holder. This is not super bright lighting, but it's enough and won't be annoying.
