Power & Control Box (Arduino Mega 2560, Ramps1.4, ATX-Clone) by dr_delta

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Goal of my project is to design a box which contains all my electronics and power supply parts.

The arrangement of the supply cable is semi optimal that´s why i change to a new angular one in white.

Going forward i have revised my first part (bracket_2020.stl) and rename to (floor_front_2020.stl). The reason was to match with the new part (right_front_wall.stl) and to come closer with my concept.
(Update 19.08.2017)
I have uploaded more parts (bracket_front_cover.stl, floor_rear_2020.stl) and reworked some (to integrate holes for better tool access). Other parts (eg. right_front_wall.stl) i have extended the holes to fit with more different screw length.

Luckily i could start designing the 2nd level for Ramps1.4 and Arduino. Therefore i have developed (2nd_front_wall.stl) which is also able to carry a standard 50mm fan for cooling. I have drilled the holes for the fan manually.

To fix the middle level i have designed (top_bracket.stl) to hold it in correct position. Next wall and also main fixation point of the cover is the (2nd_right_wall.stl).
To close the cover consists of three parts (left_cover.stl, middle_cover_w_40fan.stl, right_cover.stl) which will can be screwed together to have at least a complete cover. This cover can carry a standard 40mm fan to blow out warm air from the control boards. Similar to (2nd_front_wall.stl) i decided to drill the holes that printing is not so challenging for my Delta.
(Update 17.09.2017)
I split my rear wall into (2nd_rear_wall.stl) and (2nd_rear_left_wall.stl) which contains another 40mm fan. Drill the holes and now it works. Also my (cable_clip3_3.stl) has a good diameter and three of them hold my power-cable in place.

Recommend to secure the nuts inside the controller box with acrylic silicon. This is to avoid always loosing them during opening and closing the cover in case of maintenance. (see example pictures at the end)
Enjoy!
