I wanted to get more from the slim case by ziggybozbo.

All parts should be compatible with the original design, so you can choose just some parts from my edit.

---

My extra requirements were:

• Enclosure needs to hold MKS board, power supply, discount display, a mosfet board
• Cables to printer should be eazy to disconnect -> add JST connectors
• Better power supply cooling than the original design
• Add rj45 connector and fused power socket with power switch
• Use 2017 power supply - it has different mounting holes dimensions
• Stronger mount for mosfet -> longer screw holes
• Stronger mount for fan -> added nuts
• Hold Orange Pi One with step-down xl4015 (or Raspberry Pi 3B+)
• Hold three TL Smoothers

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

TEVO

Printer:

Tarantula

Resolution:

0.25 - 0.4 mm

Infill:

70%

Filament: Plasty Mladeč PLA

Black + Red

Notes:

You need large bed (200x280) for this print. All parts will be printed with their outside face down on the print bed. Then for nice looking case, you need to have the perfect first layer. I recommend a bigger nozzle for this print. I have used 0.5mm nozzle and 0.25mm layer height. Use supports just for „front_bottom“ and „left_panel_pi_mount“.

###Pause prints at height:

Parts „top“ and „top_spool_holder_holes“ requires that you pause the print at 4 mm height and install four M3 nuts in the position before you continue the print.

Part „left_panel_pi_mount“ requires that you pause the print at 3,5 mm height and install two M3 nuts in the position before you continue the print.

Post-Printing

MKS board mount

I attach my MKS_base_holder to the top of the power supply. I drilled four 3mm holes in the top of the power supply. MKS_base_holder is screwed with four screws and nuts.

JST + XT connectors mount + dust filters

I glued JST connectors in rear panel with hot glue gun. I have used dust filters on every intake hole on case. I glued them also with hot glue gun. Don't use dust filter on outtake fan!

Front Logo

Parts logo_part_1 and logo_part_2 should be pushed in front_bottom without glue. You can use a hammer.
