Hello.
I`ve made my own case for miniPCB version of Onstep GOTO controller. All you need is here: https://groups.io/g/onstep/wiki/2E-MiniPCB. Thanks to Howard and others for this awesome project.
About the case - I decided to use additional fan (3010) to cool down stepsticks, just because of using highest possible Vref.
Some parts to buy:
1x 3010 5V fan (I use SUNON - it uses 3 bolts only, that is why there is no 4th hole for bolt)
3x LEDs 5mm (there is a blue, but obviously use RED to not disturb your eyes)
1x Rocker Switch ON/OFF (bought here in Poland: https://sklep.avt.pl/przelacznik-mrs101-5c-3b-bistabilny-on-off-czerwony.html)
Bolts and nuts to buy:
3x M2 6mm - to keep the PCB in its place
3x M2/M3 16mm - to keep the fan in its place
3x M2/M3 nuts and washers - for fan`s bolts - to keep it there until the end of the world (or some days longer).
Now I need to make top for this case. I have a project, just now there is no time to print it. I`ll do it in next few days.
There was an idea to use aviation connectors for stepper motors, but finally it would make the case bigger. So I decided to stay with a place just for cables. Obviously you can easily drill it for bigger holes if you have some aviation connectors - just make sure there is enough place to fit it.
The only place I used supports was the Fan area - but finally I think it should be printed well without any. Find your way :)
The real text is ONSTEP. On photos you see ASTROARAS text - it is my friend`s nickname, who will be the owner of this unit :)
