Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I'm a novice designer and did all of this in tinkercad so it's not the greatest but it works and it's simple!

6 t-nuts for M3 nuts found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3050607
6 (I used 1/4" wire loom) clips from emanuelbucsa's files found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1935014
Box Notes:
I custom designed this box to help hide a lot of the wiring that would normally be loose on the Ender 5 Plus. It's held together with 4 M3 Bolts on the lid and two M3 bolts on the bottom.
The bottom two bolts utilize a t-nut from DaVinci2000's design found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3050607 to secure it to the frame.
I printed the Ender logo onto the lid via the Z Offset function in Cura. I set the Z offset at 2.95 (height for the lid is 3m) so that it would set into the lid. I have both versions for print.
You will need supports for the box itself. I'm still learning how to design so this could use improvements but it fit my needs.
You'll need to super glue the parts together on:
