Update 06/23/2018 I've added a CR-10 3D printer cover that has performed exceptionally well on my MPCNC, so I decided to create one for my printer. After numerous hours of use, the cooling system within this enclosure works remarkably effectively. The temperature inside the enclosure never exceeded 80 degrees even when it was scorching hot outside, reaching temperatures in the upper 90's in my workshop. Update 04/02/2018 I've uploaded pictures of the installation process to provide a clearer visual understanding of how everything comes together. Update: 03/29/2018 After completing three revisions of this enclosure, I'm thrilled with the improvements made. The current version boasts superior airflow, better wire management, and improved standoffs compared to my initial design. One major change was eliminating an extra USB cable going to the enclosure to power the Pi. There are multiple methods to power the Pi, either using the aux 5v "X1" on the RAMBo or a step-down converter from the supply. I'll provide additional pictures in another update once everything is fully assembled. Hardware Requirements: 6 - M3 x 35 for the top 4 - M2.5 x 6 for the PI (I'm unsure if this is how all PIs are designed, but I had to use a smaller screw due to the Pi's design) 4 - M3 x 6 for the RAMBo 4 - screws of your choice for mounting the enclosure; I'm using #8 x 5/8 sheet metal screws because they're readily available in my workshop. 03/01/2018: I've decided to create an enclosure to house the Raspberry Pi 3 and Rambo for my MPCNC. The design provides full access to all the plugs on the Pi, as well as the USB port on the Rambo. Two 40mm fans are also integrated into the enclosure. The boards are secured using M3x6 screws, while M3x30 screws hold the enclosure together. I haven't printed this yet, waiting for my Rambo to arrive; I'll update once it's completed.
