10/12/2020 Update: Box_Bottom_V4 uploaded. Added slot in front for Micro SD card insert. 10/14/2020 Update: Added Knurled Knob from guppyK https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4204606 10/23/2020 Update: Box Bottom V5, added two 1.75mm holes for lights on Pi 3 and Pi 4. Clear unused filament is to be inserted and touching the LEDs on the Pi Board. Clear filament will pass the light to the end of the filament that is flush with the holes. (See images labeled V5) Also closed the opening on the front underside of Box Bottom since we don't need it for access to Micro SD card anymore (See V4 Update). I needed to relocate my electronics since I have ordered a thermal tent for my Ender 5. I didn't want the works to be fouled up in the heat so I went looking for a remote box to house the LCD and Raspberry Pi. Found MANY useful designs but nothing really had everything in one place. This box works for either Pi 3/3B or Pi 4B (See images) Two part box with overhang latches. Cutouts on the right side for full size HDMI cables and USB-C or Micro USB power. Cutout in back for passing ribbon cable off the LCD screen. Plenty of venting for passive cooling. Both Top and Bottom will print without supports. Some cleanup may be necessary for long overhangs but it still works well. Print the TOP upside down on it's face to avoid any need for support material. Print the BOTTOM right side up. I used 4 M3x5 screws to secure the Pi to the base. Predrill your holes to make it easier. I used the stock mount screws for the LCD (M3x6 I think) so predrill those holes also. Updated to add image of Control Box sitting outside the new enclosure.
