Remote Case

thingiverse

I wanted the ability to print ABS, PTEG, and Nylon, printing these filaments require your printer to be in an enclosure. The enclosure is needed to keep the filament and print warm while it's being printed; if the print cools too fast it will split, or become lose from the print bed. Electronics running at a high temperature, such as inside a heated enclosure, causes them to degrade, lowering there service life, a solution is to place the electronics in a remote location away from the heat. With this in mind, I designed these 3 cases. These cases will allow you to decide where you want to place your electronics, for them to remain cool, as well as a location that is out of the work area. I've created cases for the Creality main board, Big Tree Tech SKRv1.3 board, and the Raspberry Pi 3B+ board. The "Master" or main case is the Raspberry Pi case, you then use one of the two cases as a mate, and this completes a full enclosure. Version 1.5 - Added a 6.5mm wall to the face of the Creality Case, this is to prevent inserting the SD Card under the main board. Also enlarged the mounting holes to 2.75mm, and made them "through holes", this allows 3mm screws to be used to mount the Creality main board. Version 1.4 - Enlarged the size of the supporting area around the screw holes to 9mm. Version 1.3 - Added a notch in the Fan Bar to allow for the Dupont Connections to fit. Version 1.2 - Added a fan mount to the RPi Case, as well as made the feet a bit larger in the RPI case so they wont break off if over tightened. Version 1.1 - Added files for the brackets to secure the 2 cases together. Version 1 - Initial release NOTE - Due to limited space in the RPI enclosure, I recommend that you solder the 5 volt input to the under side of the main board, or use Dupont comnnectors, pins 2 or 4 can be used for +5volts, and pins 6,14,20,30 or 34 for Ground.
