Big(ger) Einsy Box

prusaprinters

<p>For my enclosure I am moving all of the electronics outside, so I needed a solution for re-homing the Einsy board and managing the cable anchor points for the extruder and heat bed at the printer side.</p><p>For the Einsy side, I chose to remix Boogie's design be eliminating the extruder/heat bed anchor points (no longer needed), squaring off the angled corners for a little more room and symmetry and tweaking the entry/exit ports since all of my cables will be coming in from the bottom of the case. The case is mounted on the outside face of the enclosure on stand-off bolts/nuts to allow airflow to the back of the Rambo up the rear of the case.</p><p>Back on the printer side, I am keeping the Prusa stock Einsy case in its original location and configuration for two reasons.&nbsp;</p><p>First, I don't need to reimagine the extruder/heat bed anchor points and geometry which I think work extremely well as-is. And second, it allows me to use the stock case as a cable junction box.&nbsp;</p><p>On point 2, rather than hacking and cutting the stock cables, I chose to go with male-female extensions for everything so those connections will happen inside the stock case. If I ever want to take the printer out of the enclosure, I can simply unhook the cable cluster at the printer. Everything will be clearly labeled!&nbsp;</p><p>Waiting on a few parts to finish up the enclosure so I'll have a separate post and full explanation of the connectors and whatnot there.</p><p>This is the first time I printed anything in 0.30 draft, and it actually came out really nice. Draft 0.30 cut off something like 3 hours of printing time from 0.20 and since the box is going in a cubby hole of sorts and I wasn't super worried about aesthetics, I wanted to see what that looked like for future use. Sure is nice to turn a 10-hour print into a 7.</p>
