Simple but practical safety box for ceramic ozone generator (like Mac Pro? :-))

Description

NOTICE: I try to design and publish things that can be useful to you too. If you feel this project may be useful for you, please consider a little donation in my favor. This will help me to create new things for you and for the whole community, Thank you! For a little donation in my favor: https://www.paypal.me/RobertoMacchi --- In a tough and difficult period like this, each of us tries to protect and protect loved ones to the best of their ability against the current threat of the Covid-19 virus, also known by the name of Coronavirus. An important natural resource that can meet us and help us in this important battle is ozone (O3), a powerful oxidant that destroys bacteria and also a high percentage of viruses. During this period many people have bought or are about to buy special ceramic generators that produce ozone thanks to the corona discharge effect obtained by bringing the poles of a high voltage transformer connected to special conductive plates covered with ceramic. I myself purchased two of these devices, but which due to the high voltage circulating in the appliance are not ready to be used out of the box, as it would risk taking the shock by touching one of its components loaded at more than 30,000 volts . Hence the need to insert these generators in a box that acts as a protective insulator for our safety, and makes its portability much more practical. As a design engineer, I didn't have the time and desire to draw something that could solve the problem, but I rather thought that I would find something practical and aesthetically pleasing here on Thingiverse that was ready to be printed and assembled. But I didn't find anything that really satisfied me, so I designed it and made it available to anyone who wanted to use it in turn. Two only clarifications: 1) the original design provides a thickness of 4mm of its main walls, due to the high electrical insulation required. Since it takes 24 hours and about 600 grams of good PLA to print this original project, I thought I would also publish a lighter 3mm version (thin) so that I could print it faster, but I do not take any responsibility in In case neither of the two versions proposed is sufficient to adequately isolate and secure the generator, I printed it with top quality and well preserved material and everything works without problems. 2) compared to the photos, I rotated the handle 90 ° to facilitate assembly once the generator is inserted in the box. I have foreseen the use of 4MA stainless steel screws to avoid their oxidation, and the gluing with hot glue for the feet produced in TPU 85 ShoreA. The main box has been deliberately designed all in one piece for reasons of robustness and compactness, this could make it slightly more difficult to insert the generator inside it, but it can be done without problems. LAST THING: DON'T JOKE WITH OZONE. This gas can be very useful in the disinfection of our environments but it is also very dangerous if inhaled directly for long periods of time, as it would inexorably oxidize our respiratory system. I advise you not to stay in the environment you are dealing with ozone, and to ventilate the rooms well after the treatment and before staying there. I wish you all the best possible for you and your families, that you can overcome this bad moment without consequences and that we can all embrace each other as soon as possible. Love and good prints. Roberto.
