External Case for power supply and mainboard

thingiverse

Easy to print and customize cases are available for power supplies and mainboards of all kinds. A 120mm fan and power connector switch can be easily installed in the back. The mainboard frame is designed specifically for Anet A8 mainboards and MKS Gen 1.4, tested with both models. Additionally, two Mosfets can be mounted to the frame's side, available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BJZRSCP. A display frame for 12864 LCDs is also included, featuring two additional holes with a diameter of around 20mm for switches (light and fan in my case). The top, bottom, and sides consist of two parts to accommodate the 22x22cm build plate. Screws and nuts are M4, but it's essential to ensure screws are not too long (6-8mm thread length should work fine) as they may touch the cubes used for fixing the sides of the case. Hot glue is used to secure nuts in cubes to prevent them from falling out when opening the case top or side. When building the case, consider where to place the USB cable; a hole can be drilled at the side of the top cover, or a longer cable can be used and placed with other cables at the back of the case. Use the FreeCAD file to extract individual parts for printing. The full_case.stl file is only for Thingiverse overview. Feel free to ask questions in the comments if needed. The green color may not be the most attractive, but it was the only filament available when printing the case.
