A case to house two RD6006 units and a PSU to drive both.
[EDIT 28/05/20] - the RD6012 should fit as well, as the dimensions appear to be the same. I say should, as I don’t have one to try... but the sizes on the RD tech site are the same for both units.
[EDIT 16/06/20} - Commenter Gunter confirms that the 6012 fits the front with no issues.

Print instructions

All parts are printed in PLA. The main pieces (front and back shells) are printed face down. All parts can be printed without supports.

THIS IS A LONG, MULTIPART PRINT!

I had several issues with warping to start with until iI turned the part cooling fan completely off. This is reflected in the supplied GCODE files. Sliced in PrusaSlicer 2.2 with amended Pretty PLA v4 config, to turn that fan off and to match the temps with that required by the Sunlu PLA I used.

You will need the following pieces of hardware:
2 RD6006 Units
1 PSU (I used a S-500-48, and the fixing locations match my PSU)
A Fused, Switchable IEC socket - check the dimensions to ensure they match the case cutout.

4 x M3 square nuts
4 x M3 x 25mm caphead screws
2 x M3 x 16mm caphead screws
2 x M3 plain hex nuts and washers
Fixings for the PSU (in my case 3 M4 x 10mm capheads and washers and 1 M3 x 6 flanged button head screw)
Cable to hook it all up

Handle is glued together - the parts have pegs and holes to allow alignment.

Handle slides into the recessed portion of the back shell, and the two 16mm screws, washers and nuts used to fix it in place.

Square nuts are slid into the rectangular openings in the top corners and bottom feet.

IEC connector snaps into case

RD6006 units also snap in, one atop the other

Wire up (easier to do with the PSU out of the case).

Mount the PSU

Bring the two shells close together, plug the supply cables into the back of the RDs and then close the case by sliding the back into the front (locates on the inner lip of the back shell) and secure with the 25mm screws through the holes in the rear.

Optional - add some rubber feet.
