CR-10 Standalone (Tevo Tornado, Afinibot A31, Anet E10) Printer Base

Introduction

The CR-10 format control box is just an ugly nuisance. There's no way to manage the wires well without a lot of effort. It's noisy and takes up a lot of room. Thingiverse and the CR-10 Facebook groups are full of great options for modding the printer and I tried many of them, but they never improved my main issue with this printer. The ugly control box...

This Thing relocates the components below the printer. Panels provide a flexible floor area for mounting various options and a divider below the print bed to deflect heat away from the components; a detail some other designs do not take into consideration. Side panels could be inserted to totally enclose the new component space and ducted ventilation added for fresh air cooling should you wish to add a printer enclosure.

Included is a list of all the CR-10 mods shown in the photos as I find them beneficial. Aftermarket upgrades are also listed to provide ideas. There are many more examples and variations to them available. All models used from Thingiverse are linked below and added as a "remix" to provide designers the credit for their work.

STL's for the printed parts are attached and created in Tinkercad. The board is a MKS Gen L V1.0 and schematics are provided for convenience should you wish to use it.
