this is a very simple to print 2 part design to fully enclose a stacked Arduino 2560 and Ramps 1.4 board with the minimum of additional hardware required (basically four screws for the fan and thats it).
access at one end for Power-in jack, Power in 4pin plug, USB socket and the 4-6 cables for extruder,heatbed & fan.
at the other is a slot for the SD card and LCD display flat cables to exit.
two additional openings at the sides for routing motor, thermistor , etc cables in and out.
top has a optional slot for a digital voltage display (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Voltage-Meter-Wires-LED-Panel-Tester-5-30V-Digital-DC-Display-Mini-Voltmeter-/122603915514?var=&hash=item1c8bc348fa:m:myYUKOVXlSa3HbhtvRtleiQ)
and a mounting point for a 40mm fan which also serves as the locking point for the two halves of the enclosure (eg. once youve screwed the fan in place it holds the enclosure together)
I designed this to be as simple and functional as possible while still being aesthetically pleasing to look at so as not to stick out like a sore thumb when I use it with any of my printer builds.
as I mentioned, you'll only need the screws/bolts to fasten the fan down to make this enclosure work, the arduino and ramps boards themselves dont require fastening down in any fashion as the design is made so as they are held in place when the enclosure is closed.
there are additional 3mm holes in the base of the design to aid with mounting the enclosure somewhere if you so wish, though the closed enclosure is stable when sat on a flat surface you might wish to add feet with mounting holes so you can fix it in place.
