V2J Ender 3 Electronics Case. Tighter air control, new fabric sleeve ports, larger volume, cable management

prusaprinters

<p>A remix from a great design by Michael at Teaching Tech and updated from my previous version.</p> <p>Upgraded Ender 3 Electronics Case for the Ender 3. I've tightened up the air handling, removed the noise-causing grille for the fan, added new fabric sleeve ports (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3994402">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3994402</a>), increased the case volume, and added cable management - both inside and outside (outside mounts use cable ties and a new thing that I am working on).</p> <p>I cleared out the inside rib so that the electronics can be swapped out without having to disconnect and reconnect the wiring. I've added mounting posts on the interior sides and bottom for cable management, etc.</p> <p>The Cable Hold Downs are intended to attach to the interior mounts with M3 bolts.</p> <p>Only the Left Covers need support.</p> <p>It should easily house: Creality stock boards, upgrade boards, MKS Gen L, Mini E3, Raspberry PI, 40mm fan, buck converters, various relays. Adapter plates can be added.</p> <p>The case uses M3 X 16mm bolts, and the covers should use M3 bolts 8mm or shorter. You may not need to use all the bolt placements. I wanted them as options for improved air handling. You may wish to drill out all the M3 bolt holes in the covers and hold downs to 3.5mm for ease of installation. Future models will incorporate this change.</p> <p>The cases take about 8 hours each to print, while the covers, about 2 hours each.</p> <p>I've spent a lot of time on these. I'm already thinking of case temperatures and about what is acceptable and the best - and quietest - way to cool the electronics. Questions, problems, additions? Comment and I'll get back to you.</p> <p>Please post your make!</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.20</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Various PLA Various and blue/white heat sensitive.</p> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
