RaspberryPi 4 GPIO Cover for Horizontal Fan Controller

thingiverse

I liked these covers by Drew_B but bought a version of this aluminium case with fans and wanted to use a fan controller. I use a Raspberry Pi 4 in this case for running Octopi and want it to be quiet. To manage this I picked up a fan controller from thepihut.com (https://thepihut.com/products/fan-controller-for-raspberry-pi?variant=39578362577091). I picked up the horizontal one which sticks out the side so I created this remix to house the GPIO and the fan controller. Printed this for use with an Ender 3 v2 and I will be using a shelf on the right hand side mounted to the metal rail allowing this cover to stick over the rail so it doesn't get in the way. Fan connection cables tuck in under the case. If you want to close off the bottom under the fan controller as I have, you can print the bottom and insert it underneath. This should be a snug fit. I found if I put the cover half way on the pins, then insert the bottom, it fits easily with a jiggle to make it fit fully. Note the raised parts on the bottom are designed so the larger flat side is away from the GPIO and the two small raised parts should be the side close to the GPIO.
