ESP3D-Cover for Prusa MK3S+

prusaprinters

<p>Ever felt bothered that you've got a slot for a Raspberry Pi Zero in the enclosure of your Prusa MK3S+, yet you can hardly use it as the Pi Zero is kinda outdated?</p><p>Well, I was and I was wondering, whether I could'nt just fit an <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=esp3d">ESP3D module</a> from Fysetc in exactly that spot, so I can use Luc's really neat <a href="https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D">esp8266 firmware project</a> from GitHub to remotely control and monitor my printer.</p><p>So I got me the original raspberry-cover.stl vom <a href="https://github.com/prusa3d/Original-Prusa-i3/tree/MK3S/Printed-Parts/SCAD">Prusa's GitHub page</a> and put some mounting pins for the ESP3D module on it - and here you go: the esp3d-cover.stl for your Prusa MK3S+</p><p>Enjoy!</p><p> </p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer: </strong>Prusa i3 MK3S+</p><p><strong>Rafts: </strong>No</p><p><strong>Supports: </strong>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:  </strong>0.2</p><p><strong>Infill: </strong>100%</p><h3><strong>Filament:</strong> Prusament PETG Black <br/> </h3><p><strong>Notes: </strong></p><p>Best simply use the recommended print settings that you're using for all your Prusa printer parts.</p><p> </p><h3>Post-Printing</h3><p><strong>Assembly</strong></p><p>Well, the assembly is pretty simple: just shorten the wires and solder some pins to them - almost exactly like you would do with the Pi Zero.</p><p>But how to mount the PCB? Just put it on the printed pins on the inside of the cover, melt them flat with a hot knife or screwdriver and it'll be mounted perfectly. Couldn't be easier.</p><p> </p>
