Creality Ender 2 - MKS Gen 1.4 + Raspberry Pi case

I like the Ender 2, but the sound level when printing is annoying. That's why I got myself a new control board (MKS Gen 1.4), as well as the TMC 2100 stepper drivers.

For this I designed a new case, which houses the MKS board, a Raspberry Pi 3, a DC-DC step-down converter (for the Pi) and an 80mm fan. The housing consists of a base plate which is screwed to the ender with the existing holes. The 80mm fan is integrated in the design. The upper parts of the housing (MKS_Top_Case.stl and Raspberry_Top_Case.stl) are plugged onto the base plate without screws. You can either use the supplied display or the RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller.

The design of the RepRap display is a remix of tom666's design from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2368534). The baseplate's overhanging, which is no big deal. However, the larger 3D printed wheel for adjusting the heated bed still fits. This keeps the Ender 2 compact and quiet.

All parts, with the exception of, MKS_Top_Case.stl, can be printed without support and are orientated properly for printing.

Enoy printing!
