Description
I finally got sick of trying to program my brewzilla from my hands and knees every brewday and found this video on how to make the control panel detachable. Once i finished that i wanted a box / plug for the unit so i modeled up these. Its a huge quality of life improvement i should have made years ago.
Im at best a mediocre 3d model maker, the plug works but its a bit loose. its designed to slot into the two vertical walls. I'm sure it can be done better and would be happy if someone with much more skill wanted to do that.
For the box i just mounted it on a spare piece of plywood with some strong velcro, but you can mount it however you'd like.
