Modular Remote Electronics Enclosure

thingiverse

I created a quick lightweight enclosure for my electronics after removing components from my A8 frame (vibrations + solder joints = failures). One thing I didn't want to do was make an enclosure that was specific only to my setup or one specific setup. Thus, I made this modular design. The blank mount card can be configured any way you need. Just add the mount bosses for your boards and make cutaways to reduce material used. The cards included are: 1 card for the stock A8 V1 board 1 card for 5x TL smoothers, 1x Mosfet and 1x Optocoupler 1 blank to import for your custom use Printing/Assembly notes: This design was made around a .2 layer height, and a .4 wall extrusion width. The honeycomb sections are 1.6mm, so set your extrusion thickness accordingly. You'll think it's awfully lightweight when you're assembling, but once assembled, it's fairly rigid. The screws used for assembly are M3 counter-sunk head. The holes are sized so that you just screw it together with no threading or dressing. Screw pockets accept a maximum 12mm length screw, though 12mm is way excessive. Print 2x top/bottom and 2x any side plate and 1 each front and back. Top/bottom plates are interchangeable, as are the sides. I will add new mount cards as they come along. I know many use two Mosfets, so I may whip up a quick mount card for that soon. I encourage you to make your own and share them. If you like, I'd be happy to add them to the files here as well. Hope this helps someone out! Thanks for looking.
