PRUSA SKR 1.4 CASE
Description
UPDATE: 3.7.2020: So after trying to get this case to work with my setup and seeing how everything wired up I've came to the conculsion that this is not the best design so I'm abandoning this project and have moved on to a different design. I will update this with a link shortly as I have the new design mounted and things working correctly. UPDATE 2.24.2020: So after sorting out all the issues I was having with the RAMPS 1.6+ (Not going to lie its convenient to have the SPI interface integrated but, it's not a good choice for running TMC2130's unless you have adequate cooling and providing them with the power they need to run to reduce skipped steps) I went back to my RAMPS 1.6 to get this printed with a print time of 7hrs and 55mins I've noticed that my wire management towards the top of the case is not going to work as it interferes with the stepper wires. So I've updated the model and removed them. I will still provide pictures of the finished product. I've also uploaded a mount that I think will work (as I've not tested yet) so the case can be mount to the Y-axis similar to how the PSU is mounted on the opposite side. UPDATE 2.21.2020: I've updated the case with a slot for the ribbon cable and a hole in the top for a filament sensor. I hope to print this weekend to see if all my mount points are correct. I had to work some issues out with my printer as I have had some issues with the RAMPS 1.6+, hence the reason I'm moving to the SKR. I bought an SKR 1.4 Turbo as a replacement for my RAMPS 1.6+ (which is a nice RAMPS replacement for using TMC2130 drivers). I didn't like any of the cases I was seeing here so I designed one with what I wanted to include in a case design that would still fit the Prusa MK2 frame (as that is what I'm using at the moment) and still utilize the original mounts and not make it much taller than what the original case is. I've tried to make this as practical as possible. I wanted some wire management, a space to mount a Rapberry PI 3, and a MOSFET for the heated bed. I included spaces for two 40mm fans for cooling the drivers as 2130's tend to run a little warm and direct as much of the airflow over the board as possible. I think in a future update I may add a mount for a 50x15 blower mounted side ways in the available space to blow directly over the drivers. This is a work in progress as I'm still trying to see what is best and ways I can better manage the wiring. The mosfet mount is setup for this one from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HEQVQAK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
