Modular RepRap RAMPS Electronics Case

thingiverse

The RAMPS electronics box size may cause printing issues on a Makerbot; however, this problem can be resolved by using the 3D Interlocking Tiles openscad script file. This set of files allows users to create a printable box for various electronics parts, including different versions of RepRap electronics. The box's open front design caters to the numerous wires that need to exit it, such as from four motors, six endstops, thermistors, power, USB, and more. Mounting the box can be done using a couple of aluminum pieces or by cutting out a large piece of wood. To assemble the platform, print two Platform Tiles with the platform facing upwards. When combined, they create one continuous platform piece that should be glued together. Use RAMPS to mark the mounting holes' positions and attach them using fasteners or drilled holes. The choice of mounting method is left to the user's discretion. The Fan Tile provides options for either internal or external fan mounting. Two Blank Tiles serve as the box top, while one Button Tile with Clips allows easy reset button access without opening the case. Three Blank Tiles with Clips attach the top to the electronics' base, allowing easy removal of the top for electronics access. To avoid confusion when connecting wires, it is suggested to mark the inside top of the box using a piece of paper as a guide.
