thingiverse

Updated 2019-03-05: ================ A new cover is now available for the small case with three outlets. This updated version features slots instead of holes, as per customer request. Updated 2019-01-27: ================ A bigger case has been added to the collection, featuring four outlets for sensors and power cables. The openings for USB and Network have been enlarged to prevent the need for filing. To complete this setup, an additional KSS AGR12L is required for the fourth outlet. The non-V2 variants of the STL come with three outlets, while the V2 models feature four outlets. Updated 2018-12-02: ================ A more precise list of required materials has been added. After searching for a suitable case to house an Octopi setup with extra space for a relay board, I was unable to find one that met my needs. As a result, I designed my own case, which accommodates a Raspberry-Pi 3, a self-made relay card, and mounting material. The goal is to have two relays controlling the power of the printer and light, as well as one DS18S20 for temperature measurement. ### Materials Needed: 1 x Raspberry-Pi 3 1 x Simple Relay Card (I created my own using 2 Relais, 2 x 1N4007, 2 x BC548, and 2 x 3k9 Resistors) 2 x Relay HJR1-2C-L-05VDC 1 x DS18S20 1 x 4mm Socket Terminal Strip (5 units - PA12) Cables and Power Plugs/Sockets 3 x KSS AGR12L Cable Grommets for 4mm Cables 6 x M3x25 Screws 6 x M3 Nuts The main power cable is routed through the first grommet, while the light cable and sensor cable are passed through the second. The third grommet serves as an outlet for the printer. To connect the printer and light without cutting cables, male and female connectors were used. The four larger holes in the corners allow for screws to be attached below the printer case using 4x35mm wood screws. A Special Note and Warning: The relay is capable of handling 2A at 220V but cannot switch it. Therefore, never turn off the printer while printing, as this may damage the relay. Consider replacing it with a type that can switch power while printing. Assemble electronics only when all cables are disconnected to avoid injury or equipment damage.
