MKS Gen 1.4 case for 2020 / 2040 extrusions

thingiverse

I designed this case specifically for my Tronxy X5S while I swapped out the electronics for an MKS Gen 1.4 and TMC2208 drivers. My goal was to create a case that would conceal the electronics and cables as effectively as possible. It features taps to attach it securely to 2020 or 2040 aluminum extrusions, making it compatible with numerous printers. What's more, this design is engineered to be printed without any supports. One row of openings is intended for routing cables through the extrusion (the lower ones), while the upper row allows for airflow and can be used for cables routed on the upper side of the extrusion. There are also openings accessible from underneath as well as one in the corner, providing added flexibility. The top lid houses an 80mm fan inside for a sleek appearance. The clearance between the fan and the driver heat sinks is roughly over 5mm. There's also a small indentation for the LCD cables as well as a designated spot for excess ribbon cable. Additionally, if you're running dual Z motors, there's a place to screw in a little Y-adapter for that. The photos show my initial design, which I have already improved by relocating and resizing some of the openings. As a result, the files look slightly different.
