RepRap Ramps Power Supply Enclosure Raspberry Pi OctoPi

30-JAN-2018: NEW IMPROVED model https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2778015

Details, links for electronic components & firmware downloads are at http://bigcooter.com/?p=1584!

28-DEC-2017: ADDED Toranado 120mm Fan Grill STL file, compliments the Toranado Extruder https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1246951

20-JAN-2016: UPDATE - added sidecover with 2 terminal banana 12V Aux Power Outlet.

Build a low cost cutomizable 3D Printer Power Supply & Electronics enclosure. This is a modular design which can be configured multiple ways to utilize the plentifully low cost (<$30) 360watt power supplies used on many RepRap 3D printers. The standard 40mm high speed noisy fan has been replaced by a quiet large 120mm fan. Optionally, additional boards can be encased in this enclosure, such as: Arduino / Ramps boards, Raspberry Pi board/camera, etc.... The idea is to pick and choose the components to print, then build a customized electronics unit for a 3D printer ... with only minimal remixing and/or making of specialized board brackets. The Raspberry Pi module, enables the use of OctoPi, a fantastic OpenSource 3D printer interface with remote access and camera integration.

NOTE: Reference STL files have been included for all the purchased components, and for the BigCooter Raspberry OctoPi (in My Things at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:713389 )

Design description will be as follows:

Make from universal Power Supply (12 or 24V, 360W)
120mm cooling fan - low noise ... LED lights look great!
modular design - versatile
board mounts for Arduino / Ramps & Rasp Pi - camera
option for mounting 4-Channel 10A Relay board
option for mounting 1-Channel 30A high current relay

Additional modules are coming, and I encourage others to develop their own compatible modules to share (when doing so, please follow the design standards below).

Currently available modules and components:

USB 12V power (for Raspberry Pi and other applications)
Raspberry Pi with camera
7" LCD display
120mm silent cooling fan
RAMPS 1.4 / Arduino
120V cord outlet / on-off switch
30amp heat-bed relay (recommended for RepRap machines w/RAMPS 1.4, prevents over-heating failures / fires, OMG!!!)
Base Cooling Vent / wire router
Oversize swivel base cooling vent with adjustable wire routing
Raspberry Pi Oversize base module

in development - oversize modules are for use at base of unit, they provide added stability and larger electronics packaging

Suggestions for New Modules (link to here if you develop any):

Large base, for more stability
Graphical LCD display
Mount for BigCooter 7" LCD Display (see http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:676916 )

The blue/black pair of units in attached photos run a large 3D printer. One unit contains Ramps1.4/Arduino and the other unit contains a 4-channel relay board for running a large headbed with 4 heating zones (4 standard size heatbeds). Both units have USB outlets for powering devices and one has a Raspberry OctoPi which uses My Thing 7" LCD display shown in the photos. This demonstrates the versatility of this Enclosure, it can be configured multiple ways! .. resulting in a clean, low noise, professional appearing system.
