SKR-V1.3, Ramps 1.4 and Rumba Enclosures for V-slot by printingSome

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The original is great, but I wanted more room for playing and better accessibility for changes.
The original is 120x80mm and 60mm high.
Much of it is just an imitation of the original box by spauda01, why spoil a good thing. ;-)
For accessibility I introduced some cable slots with different sized slides.
Update (9-13-17):
I replaced the boxes with cable slots with much leaner ones: 37% less filament needed.
New measurements: 130x115x99mm and 130x115x77mm.
They are as sturdy as before around the cable slots and the main structure is about the same, but the bottom and walls are thinner at many places. Min. thickness 1.6mm (I use a nozzle of 0.4mm). Also: 2 mounting points are enough.
As before, the 99mm version is intended for when one wants to add a CNC shield (mount) or whatever.
I made some room for wires etc. under the Ramps and the reset button is now easier to use via the "reset-button.stl".
Theoretically one could cut a M3-thread in 3 of the print supports, not easy to reach though, but the support with the point sticking out made that unnecessary. When you would want to do it, use nylon bolts.
I was too lazy to change the version with fixed cable holes (150x112x70mm). I don't use it myself, but if anybody would like a leaner version of that, please tell and I'll see what I can do with it.
The CNC-shield in the picture is not connected, don't use it at the moment, it's just there for the show. The colored blocks in some of the pictures represent the max. room the p.c.'s need with the connected wires plus the fan. After printing I made the rear ventilation holes a bit higher and thinner (a bit more flesh between the holes). It prints nice with "touching bed" support in curaengine, easy to remove.
I removed most of the history from this text. I think this is the ultimate version (for me, at least ;-) ), keep it open for a little while as a work in progress, dependent of eventual welcome comments.
Edit (10/21/17) Tinkered a bit with the ramp-supports -> Ramps-box...-v1.stl
Edit (07-03-18) Added Rumba box (156x126x69mm) with cable slots and pillared cover.
If there is anyone who wants a similar box for the Bigtreetech-gen-V1.0 board, just ask for it. That board was (literally) very short lived with me: one should not use the usual connectors for the motors with it ;-( , but the design is there for whoever wants it.
Edit (11/05/18) I am in the process of putting the rumba box high up vertically and so shortening a lot of wires, so need to secure the rumba itself. I found it is impossible to make a M3 thread in the printsupport with that hole for just that purpose with my tools. So I added a Rumba version with a little hole in the bottom which you can enlarge to ø2,5mm and then thread it upwards for M3, for instance. I leave the version without that hole also here, for you to decide which one you like, but I would strongly advice you to consider this version. I didn't need that hole when the box was horizontal, but you never know... ;-)
I removed the box without cableslots. It was too fat anyway, I think.
Edit (09/11/18) Small unimportant correction in the rumba cover.
Edit (10/11/18) Added Rumba-box with Cover for external 120mm fan; this cover is incompatible with the other rumba-boxes
Edit (09-11-19) Added SKR-V1.3_box (143x126x69mm) on request of jskala. I haven't printed it, he has and he said it fits well.
Edit (04-dec-19) Added covers for a 80mm fan for the SKR-box and the Rumba box. Both covers have heightened edges and fit on the existing boxes. I didn't use pillars for mounting the fans but holes, less neat but more practical, I feel.
