Robin Lite, SKR 1.3, MKS Gen L, SKR Mini, Raspberry Pi Control Box by jonbourg

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

I made this box for my Adimlab Gantry-S printer, but I also made this so it would fit a variety of printers. I wanted one box for all the electronics instead of having two or three separate enclosures. I also wanted to power a Raspberry Pi using the printer PSU and a buck converter. I had found another box, but it was a bit small so I used it as a template to make this box, but a little larger and with a few added touches. This box has provision for two DC/DC buck converters to power a temperature-controlled PWM fan controller and the Raspberry Pi. The fan is a 120mm x 15mm, 4-wire PWM fan.
This box will fit a variety of control boards:
The Adimlab Gantry-S uses an MKS Robin Lite which is in the pics.
It can also fit an SKR 1.3 and the MKS Gen L boards which have the same hole pattern. For these two boards use the bottom right mount point as the anchor.
I've also provided provision for an SKR mini board which is even smaller than the Robin Lite.
This is enclosure is too small for large boards like a duet or an SKR Pro. It is also too small for Adimlab Gantry black and white board versions, but it will fit the MKS Gen L board that is in the Gantry Pro and many other printers.
For hardware use 3mm self-tapping screws.
Buck Converters (same type as what I used): https://www.amazon.com/DZS-Elec-Adjustable-Electronic-Stabilizer/dp/B06XRN7NFQ/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=LM2596&qid=1586830859&sr=8-3
