Description
Decided to upgrade my Wanhao Duplicator i3 from the Melzi to the RAMPS board in order to add the BLTouch sensor. Since there wasn't that many great cases for this setup I decided to create something from scratch. The original control box from wanhao was very limiting in the fans you could use and I wanted to make everything quieter and use some bigger fans to cool down the components. So this is what I came up with.
Its made specifically (for now) for the Sainsmart 2in1 ramps board and a 80mm fan in the back.
Hope you enjoy it!
If you want to remix this design I also included the .step files.
Printer Brand:
Wanhao
Printer:
Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
0.2mm
Notes:
Everything should be pretty straight forward to print. Some of the pieces will require supports.
Assembly
The box itself is split into two sections front and back with two parts for each bottom and top.
Snap the bottom parts together first. After having that assembled, then snap the top parts, the important part here is to have the hinges already in place with the bottom parts you assembled first. So everything will snap together in place and lock it.The rest is assembled with screws.
