Octoprint Pi3 8 Relay Case
Description
2/27/2021 - Update v3, added photos of the finalized print. Couple of tweaks to be made but generally a success. Will update model to: - Add Octprint Logo to Hexagon Venting - Improve fit up tolerance for the drawer - Reduce the side of outlet adjacent gussets to avoid dremel work after printing - Add two additional button holes - Add tapers at mounting holes - Improve fan mounting hole v4, may experiment with some cable trays to organize the wiring and reducing necessary supports. 2/20/2021 - Update v2, scraped the original concept, the box didn't fit where I wanted, was clunky and we can do better. Modified the concept to be a 2U factor rack mount enclosure complete with a drawer and added a front outlet for possible temporary accessories that I may want to control with Octoprint. Also added ventilation. I searched and searched for a convenient case design for my Octoprint Server with the following requirements: 1) Integrated 5V Relay Board (preferably 4 or 8 channel) 2) Integrated Power Supply 3) Raspberrypi3 Integrated w/ full port access 4) Four relay switched outlets 5) A separation between low and line voltage areas/components 6) A open/yet protected access for various GPIO connected components 7) Appropriately sized M3-0.5 mounting stems for parts 8) All cables on one face for a clean placement/install 9) Mounts cleanly into a Lack Enclosure I couldn't find an all in one package, so I created this. Its a big hulking Octoprint Case meeting all the guidelines set forth above. Being relatively new to design the case may be a little oversized; but it accomplishes what I set out to do. In the future when I devise a way to joint the case into sections I hope to make a thinner full rack width case with rack mounting ears to clean up the install.
