Enclosure case for STC-1000 thermostat

thingiverse

*Work in progress, will update with diagrams and tutorial afterwards.* As I was planning to print ABS with my printer that is inside an enclosure, I needed ambiant temperature control inside the enclosure, after some researches I chose the [STC-1000 thermostat](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LCD-DIGITAL-TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLER-STC-1000-with-sensor-220V-10A-Thermostat-with-heater-and-cooler-dropshipping/963015080.html) with a [100W radiator](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1-Pcs-12V-100W-Heating-Element-Radiator-Ventilation-Thermostat-Ptc-Heater-Electric-Heating-Solid-And-Gas/32752218958.html) that would be on the bottom of the enclosure when it needs to be heated and an extraction fan that would be on top of it when it needs to be cooled. I wanted a clean housing to bolt the thermostat on the side of my enclosure with a hole leading directly into it and a window giving direct access to connectors so I can work on wiring while the thermostat is in the case, and wasn't sattisfied with the existing designs so I made my own. You'll need: - **8x 20mm M3 bolts** for the front and back plates (more than 20mm will be OK as the holes go all the way across the case, also 10mm is OK but won't be as strong as longer ones) - **4x M3 or M4 bolts/screws** to screw the case on the wall of the enclosure. Window cover is just plugged in for aesthetic purpose and has two little slots to slide a flat screwdriver or any thin objet so you can remove it easily when you need to work on the wires. There are two 15mm holes: one directly on the enclosure's wall that you can drill to route your wires directly inside it (eg radiator and/or fan wires), and one under the case (eg power supply wires). This design is made to be bolted on the LEFT side of the enclosure when you're facing it, if you need it on the RIGHT side I've made the *base* file symmetrical so you can mirror it ;) Also, both the front and back plates can be bolted upside down so you can chose wether the visible face is the top or the bottom layer, depending on which looks better :D
