Ramps Enclosure

thingiverse

**RAMPS Enclosure Rev 1.0** A compact enclosure designed specifically for the RAMPS 1.4 board. When selecting a fan for quiet operation, consider using the Noctua NF-A4x20, but any similarly sized fan should also work effectively. The walls of this enclosure are constructed with 3mm thickness to ensure added strength when printed with PLA material. Printing at a layer height of 0.3mm can take approximately 7 hours to complete. To avoid difficulties in connecting the USB cable, I opted not to use the green quick connect plug, which would require recessing the PCB and potentially compromise its functionality. Additionally, this type of plug is only rated for 10 Amps, whereas most printers, including mine, require a minimum of 13 amps or more. As yet, no fastening method has been incorporated into this design. Deciding on an effective fastening approach remains a priority. For those interested in creating their own RAMPS combo designs, I have included the *ramps_pcb_approx.stl* file as a close approximation of the original board layout.
