Electronics Enclosure CR-10 Style

thingiverse

NOTE: This is under construction as I finish up version 5, I will upload all the files once I test everything. This is a electronics enclosure styled like that of the Creality CR-10's. The enclosure is accessible from the top, the sides and screen are "hinged". This was one thing I did not like about the stock one from Creality when I wanted to make a change to the electronics, I would have to pull out the power supply then get access to the board. There are two variants, one that is the full size intended for the CR-10 build area, and a second one that is suited for the Ender 3 size printing build area. I am hoping to add in different plates and mounts for modularity across different hardware but keeping the same over form and fit. The two part size variant relies on the power supply (LRS-350-XX mounting style) to bolt the base together and uses the board mount to help keep the side assembly more rigid. The screen panels include the stock CR 10V2, BTT TFT35 and special adapter types for the Duet 4.3, 5, 7" with DuePanel. Added the base STEP files for Back-Lower, Back-Upper, Board, and Screen for those that want to customize to their own liking! If you have any specific board mounts or panel cutouts you'd like to see, leave a comment :) What files should I print? For Either (Common between both): - Top_xxxx - Back-Upper_xxxx - Back-Lower - Front - Board_xxxx - Board-Slot_xxxx -Screen_xxxx - Mount_xxxx - Air-Filter-Cover (Qty 2) If you have a larger print bed (e.g. CR10) 300*300 use: - Base - Side-Left - Side-Right If you have a smaller print bed (e.g. Ender 3) 220*220 use: - Base-Front - Base-Back - Side-Left-Front - Side-Left-Back - Side-Right-Front - Side-Right-Back Changelog: Update 2 - Decreased all thicknesses from 4mm to 3mm, still rigid and saves a little print/plastics - Changed all screw types to flat head (similar to McMaster https://www.mcmaster.com/92125a125) - Added interlock for sides to base for better support. Offloading most of the compression from the screws onto the base if objects are placed on top of the unit. - Fixed screen and top not opening correctly (terrible screw "hinge" placement (not the best looking fix) - Fixed screw hole size for the power connector, was wrong size and hard to tap - Added mount points for a Rpi (need different Back Upper) and LM2596 or other boards possibly - Added air intake filter and condensed the pattern of the air holes, (40mm x 30mm for filter size) - Decreased size of all mount attaches (felt it was kinda too big) Screw count decreased by... 2 (sorry! only removed the extras that were on the board mount) - Removed front and back mounts that were never used in original design Update 2.1: Small update, added a board slot cutout for boards that need SD card access. There is a blank panel if none is required. This updated the Left side, it will move some boards closer to the left side leaving more room for the Rpi on the right. Update 2.2: Small change to address tolerance issues, was exact before making it hard to assembly. Removed specific board mounts and made generic, added extra. Different plates will be able to mount onto it, large or small boards. Countersink was not wide enough, had to adjust all mounts to accommodate this change. Change it from needing to open the screen to open the top, to opening the top then opening the screen if needed. Version 4: - Cutout most the skirt around the bottom, it was difficult to slot to the pieces together. Saves on a bit of time and plastic from sides, front, and back. - Removed the chamfer from the base, added to the sides and increased the tolerance for easier assembly. Update 4.1: - Increased air intake hole sizes and number of holes because airflow restriction from filters. - Increased base screw mount sizes but hole position is the same so the previous one will still work with the earlier sides. - Added screens for, BTT-TFT35, 12864ZW-10 (stock CR-10V2), and DuePanel board with separate 4.3" screen, since it is bigger then the front cover I had to make an adapter to the front (it's not pretty). Version 5 (hopefully final major change) - Added new mounting holes for the 500W power supply. I can now be used for either the 350W or 500W since either power supply will cover up the extra hole pattern it's not a concern for air flow. - Changed the base by shortening the legs and moving the rear ones to compensate for the new hole pattern for the 500W power supply. Older (V4) based will work with newer side walls, - Changed side walls since the 500W power supply is taller, the side board mount holes needed to be moved up 10mm. Moved the air intake hole patter and mounts as well. - Updated the top plate to support the RPi mounts to use in conjunction with boards that can support it. This was to keep the same enclosure profile since the board moved up it was not longer able to mount the Rpi on the side walls. Todo: - Added hardware BOM - Make more board mounts - Fix Screen mounts
