Vertical Fan Duct Universal Rear Electronics Case for Ender 3

thingiverse

I was halfway through designing my own SKR v1.3 case when I spotted Michael showcasing Teaching Tech's impressive "Ender 3 All-in-one, Universal, Rear Mounted Electronics Case". This sleek case had everything I needed and wanted - Raspberry Pi, Buck Board, SKR v1.3, and a compact design that was simply perfect. However, for my specific setup, there was one minor drawback. My Ender 3 sits on a foam mat to minimize vibration and noise. Unfortunately, the fan exhaust blew directly onto the foam mat, resulting in poor airflow. I didn't want to overhaul the entire case, so I carefully examined the design and discovered just enough space to angle the fan at a precise 23 degrees, blowing air out the bottom and back. After making some adjustments in Tinkercad, I carved out sufficient room for the new exhaust on the left side and added matching inlet vents on the right side. The remaining components, including the covers, are available in the original project below. I'd like to extend my appreciation to Michael for his outstanding design work on this case - it's truly exceptional.
