X-Carve GRBL Arduino Board Case

thingiverse

I have to admit, for those who own X-Carves, the board sitting in its original holder can be quite a problem. I, myself, had trouble with it hogging the power supply and wanting an upgraded fan that's more versatile for my setup. So, I took matters into my own hands by relocating everything to the bottom of my work table. This makes it much easier to run my wiring to this box, which was a major advantage. The lid is designed specifically for 50mm x 50mm fans, as seen on Amazon at http://amzn.com/B007PPER0C. However, when mounting the Arduino board, you'll need to use smaller screws, like I did using leftover screws from a laptop that's long since been dismantled. You can see in my attached pictures that it's up and running smoothly now. I have the box mounted upside down to give it some extra cooling power. The result is a nice drop in temperature and a hassle-free experience. Printer Settings: Print Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Raft Support: None needed Support: No big deal.
