Case for CNC 3018 PRO controller board

thingiverse

This is a case for the CNC 3018 Pro, and perhaps also other CNC mini machines. The 3018 is delivered without a case around the controller board, which seems like a risky thing, especially if you are working in metal. This case is for the recent variant where the board is mounted on an acrylic base. The case simply snaps in place. It has ventilation holes in the top and bottom which are internally shielded so that (metal) chips cannot readily get into the case. The dimensions of the acrylic base plate are approx 118 by 86 mm. The case is made to be printed upside-down without any support. Note also that the small controller board is not supported, since I really only use the CNC via the USB cable, and apparently USB and controller board cannot be used at the same time.
