Ramps 1.4 Mountable Case

thingiverse

Enclosed Case for Ramps 1.4 3D Controller Board Enclosure The mounting holes for this enclosure are precisely 103 MM apart, with each hole being an incredibly narrow 6 MM wide. It is a remarkably tight fit for the Ramps board, however, with only the bottom two holes of the top plate aligning perfectly with the mounting holes on the Ramps 1.4 board. A built-in ventilation system consisting of a lid designed specifically to house a compact 50 MM fan is included in this design. If you do choose to fit a fan inside the case, it will need to be incredibly slender due to space constraints. The plan from its conception was actually for the fan to be mounted on the exterior of the enclosure. **Installation** You may print the enclosure at whatever layer height suits your preferences without worrying about layer thicknesses, but support material will be required underneath the screws securing the lid in place. However, this is not strictly necessary and can often be avoided depending on the printing orientation employed. Mounting the 3D printer board inside the case involves attaching it to the two provided mounting holes found on one side of the enclosure, which are 103 MM apart and measure an incredibly small 6 MM in diameter each. Meanwhile, the mounting holes on the Ramps 1.4 controller board are minuscule at just 2 MM. For reasons previously stated, the uppermost Ramps mounting hole will not perfectly align with that of the printer control unit, so the bottom two mounting holes will be your best bet. **Assembly and Accessories** In order to print out a cover for a fan included within the design of the enclosed case for ramps 1.4 board enclosure system we can just do what's shown below in detail in next step For creating fan covering parts which have the purpose that it has inside the model with its very specific shape you will only need layer thicknesses down to 0.2 MM. However, an ideal printing result at .1 layer thickness level would yield an appearance so aesthetically pleasing that it could potentially match those models where aesthetics is a major priority when we compare both outcomes together.
