ADIMLab Gantry Mainboard Enclosure

thingiverse

This is a new-style of mainboard enclosure I designed for the ADIMLab Gantry. Specifically, it's for the "white board" Gantry, but may also work for the "black board" Gantry as well. I don't have a "black board" so I can't test it. It does not work with the mainboard for the Gantry Pro. I was tired of the "normal" style enclosures that required that I install the mainboard and then feed all of the wires in from the back and plug everything in at the last. The way the 40mm cooling fan is installed, you have to completely unplug everything and remove the board to replace it. So I came up with this design. It has two parts, the bottom "tray" and the top "shell". Remove the 40mm fan from the mainboard and install it on the shell, then install the mainboard in the tray and hook up all of the wires. Or, you can also hook up all of the wires and then install the whole thing in the tray. Works either way. I've included two versions of the tray: one for ready to install M3 threaded inserts and one with holes for M3 screws. The M3 screws should create their own threads and I would recommend "threading" the holes before installing the mainboard. This is the first version of this enclosure, so I may be making modifications in the future. Let me know if you have any suggestions about the design and I might include them in the next revision.
