Ender 5 Raspberry Pi 3B+ Enclosure

thingiverse

I relocated my Ender 5's electronics enclosure to the back, using [rsteube's rear mounting brackets](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4541329) and then printed his [Raspberry Pi mount](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4579858) for inside, so I could run Klipper. Both of them fit beautifully and worked great, until I put the lid back on - my wifi signal had trouble communicating through the metal box, so I needed to relocate it. I used [ffleurey's Parametric and Customizable Project Enclosure](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:155001) to make the box and lid I wanted, then added the mounting points, ventilation, etc. I chose to put it at the inside front of the cube base, so it'd be easily accessible. There are also mounting holes for a 30mm RPi fan and a LM2596 buck converter, in addition to the Pi 3B+ (plenty powerful enough to run Klipper or OctoPrint.) The hole in back (for the power cable to enter) is sized to fit a 5/16" rubber grommet. M3 screws and nuts to keep everything together. There's a small vertical support in the opening where the USB etc stick out the back, that's meant to be removed after printing. The two holes in front are situated so you can use M3 or M4 screws and T-nuts to attach the case to the 2020 extrusion to keep it in place, while the box rests fully on the table still. There's a crab-embossed lid because why not, and a plain one for anyone not feeling stylish lol. NOTE: The pics of my print are of version 1, which doesn't have mounting points for the buck converter, since I already had one mounted in my printer case. I decided to add them after the fact and so the arrangement is a bit different than what's shown. I've included the rendering of the v2 box which shows how everything fits, and also included v1 for anyone that may want it.
