Update 01/02/2021: After several complaints that the Czech file naming was confusing and or irritating, I have removed ALL Czech named files and replaced them with only English. The zip file has been removed.
I have added another choice for the right side cover. The new side cover will allow for the use of the Raspberry Pi video cable as well as the camera cable.
Update 11/27/2020: Added a new version of the back cover. This has a large hole for cables to exit out the lower right side. I've added a picture of the new rear cover - it's white so you can see the detail better.
Update 11/22/2020: I added a new version of the right side panel that has the Raspberry Pi camera ribbon cable in a better place - it's now more in line with the connector on the board.
I found intommy to have made the best external enclosure for the Ender 3 Pro, but I needed to add my two cents.
First, I needed to add my 7" LCD panel for OctoPrint. I needed something sturdy that will last, so the base and case are thick. I added a hole to the top cover to allow HDMI and USB cables to pass through.
My touch panel is the MakerFocus Raspberry Pi Screen 7 Inch Capacitive Touch Screen TFT LCD Display HDMI Module 800x480 for RPI 4B/3B+

Then I thought the front panel was a little boring, so I extruded Creality and a panel behind it to add three LEDs and give it some life. Print that inner panel whatever color you wish and use white LEDs to shine through, or any combination of plastic colors - LED colors, color shifting, or controllable
I use two buck converters like intommy does, but with a slight difference. The first powers the Raspberry Pi. I used a 24V fan, so I use the second for my LEDs. If you need a wiring drawing for this, leave a comment asking for it and I will sketch some different options for you.
I have all screws holes tapped to M3-0.5 for ease of assembly, except for the 12864 original LCD panel screws, they are M4-0.7.
I use the Raspberry Pi IR camera with the ribbon cable, so I added a right side panel allowing that cable to enter near the raspberry.
I remixed the left side panel to direct airflow (through the Creality extrusion) across the motherboard, the Raspberry Pi, the LCD panel and the LEDs up front.
The 92mm fan does a great job of cooling all of this.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BLH5GSN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have the printer cables webbed and exiting to the right through a hole I added to the rear panel.
Yes, these are 230mm wide. The firmware on the Ender 3 (+ pro) is 220x220mm, yet the stock bed is actually 235x235mm. I changed my bed size to 230x230 in the firmware and in Cura - it took about 5 minutes.
The original files have some different options. You can get the rest of intommy's .stl files from their site: https://www.thingiverse.com/intommy/designs
