Enclosure Designs - Rob F - 08-21-2016 Hi, here's some images of the enclosure designs. Display Case - Design #1 Display Case - Design #2 Available in 20, 30 or 40 degree angle Controller Case Expansion Hub Case Controller and Expansion Hub In One Case Primary AC Power Bar with 12v DC Power Supply Secondary AC Power Bar without 12v DC Power Supply European/Australian AC Power Bar with 12v DC Power Supply RE: Enclosure Designs - Rob F - 08-21-2016 ChrisC has been kind enough to do a bunch of test prints, here's some images he took of them. RE: Enclosure Designs - ChrisC - 08-22-2016 I really like the 2nd option for the display, it looks good and allows a nice way to view the screen. I am interested to see how it prints. Excellent job on all the designs Rob. RE: Enclosure Designs - fietsenrex - 08-23-2016 I would have opted for the photocell on top of the screen facing the same direction. or does it work better on the sides of the screen? RE: Enclosure Designs - Rob F - 08-23-2016 Thanks Chris, someone sent a link with a box similar so I re-make it. If anyone needs small changes like the photocell moved I can do that, I don't think it changes much were its located. I figured the side so everything is together. I made a small plug that the photocell fits in and pushes into the box. The plug is meant to be printed in transparent material so light can get through it to the sensor. RE: Enclosure Designs - dorrpost - 08-28-2016 Hi! Will the STL files be made available for download or for sale only? BR/ Chris RE: Enclosure Designs - Rob F - 08-28-2016 Hi Chris, currently they're for sale only. I've been asked a few times about this, unfortunately if I want to stick around I need to make a bit of money, I don't want to disappear and would like to continue improving the controller so I need to watch the bottom line. RE: Enclosure Designs - dorrpost - 08-28-2016 Fully understandable! RE: Enclosure Designs - fietsenrex - 07-14-2017 Do you perhaps have a flatsheet drawing of the display case? Thinking about building one with acrylic sheets since we have a new laser cutter at work :) RE: Enclosure Designs - Rob F - 07-14-2017 Hey Fietsenrex, no I don't have any drawings but I can put something together showing all the spacing between cutouts if that helps you. RE: Enclosure Designs - fietsenrex - 07-14-2017 Only if it is not that much effort. The sides that don't have any cut-outs are easy. But if you have it laying around i would love to get it and show it off when finished RE: Enclosure Designs - Rob F - 07-14-2017 Yeah it's not too difficult, I'll post some pics in a couple days. RE: Enclosure Designs - fietsenrex - 07-15-2017 Great thanks RE: Enclosure Designs - Rob F - 07-25-2017 Hi Fietsenrex, sorry for taking so long to get those numbers, I got busy and kinda forgot.   Here's some images, if you put the SD card slot on the bottom you can use the card in display which will stick out about 3-4mm, the legs I have on the case are 5mm tall so you'll need those. RE: Enclosure Designs - Arne - 07-26-2017 I'm not sure this is what he means Rob... ;-) RE: Enclosure Designs - fietsenrex - 07-26-2017 Thanks, But is this 1st or 2nd generation? RE: Enclosure Designs - Rob F - 07-26-2017 I don't have a 2D layout but with those numbers and a calculator it should work? If you need more let me know. I never moved any ports on the display board so any will fit it, the displays all have the SD card slot in the same spot so that should line up as well. RE: Enclosure Designs - fietsenrex - 07-27-2017 Should work. Good enough all of the cut outs are there. Not sure if i need them all since the shield only uses the rj45 in my case. RE: Enclosure Designs - Rob F - 07-27-2017 yeah you could get away with just the rj45 hole, the round one is for the photocell but requires an insert and the other is for programming port on Due.
