Octoprint Monitor Enclosure

Simplistic case designed for Qrome's Octoprint Monitor hardware (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2884823) and based on marcoamr2002's 'OctoPrint Monitor' (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3262112).

Choose between the flat or angled (10 degree) base.

All parts are friction fitted but in my prints hold pretty securely. The screen fits in with the pins upwards (at least my particular 0.96" OLED) and doesn't require any adhesives or extra hardware outside of the printed parts.

I plan to add more features but this one appears to be perfectly functional.

I have included the .step files if anyone wishes to remix or customise (plently of flat areas for logos or text). If anyone needs a different file type I can export from Fusion 360 please let me know.

Print Settings

Printer Brand: Creality

Printer: Ender 3

Rafts: No

Supports: No

Resolution: 0.15

Infill: 20%

Filament: Flashforge PLA Blue
Notes:

Technically you could print this without supports but for the case I added them to just the window area and blocked off the usb hole and pegs. Main case needs to be printed upside down (as in the .stl).
The bases can be printed without supports.

There should be no need to print both bases, one is a simple flat base and the other is angled back 10 degrees to see the screen a little easier. They are press fit and held by friction only and on my prints are very secure, they snap in pretty securely but can relatively easily be removed by getting a nail in the seam then wiggling.

How I Designed This

I created this because I wanted to have a nice enclosure for the project that Qrome created for the OctoPrint monitor (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2884823).

I should add that this is my first real project in modelling in general, let alone Fusion 360 so please forgive any supid decisions or design problems, still very much learning this.

First of all I printed out the case included on Qrome's thing but I had a couple of issues with it. First problem was that I was being lazy and didn't want to fully commit to the project in case I didn't end up wanting it so I didn't solder the wires to the Wemos or the screen, instead I soldered pin headers to the Wemos and simply used female dupont/jumper wires. This meant that the slot designed to hold the Wemos couldn't be used as the plastic surrounds on the pin headers clashed with it. I couldn't think of a good solution to this at the time, didn't have the confidence to directly remix from the .stl files etc.

I had a look at a few remixes and eventually stumbled on marcoamr2002's 'Octoprint Monitor' (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3262112). I liked the more simplistic design and construction however it didn't suit my needs entirely. I wanted a better method of holding the Wemos board without needing any adhesives or other fixings and didn't have need for the battery and charging board as well as it seemingly being designed for the larger 1.3" screen rather than the 0.96" I had.
So I tried to edit these .stl files for a remix but quickly ran into problems with lack of ability to properly edit the converted mesh files so thought it would be a good opportunity to start from scratch using this as a baseline.

My version has 4 pegs to hold the board (like marcoamr2002's) but spaced for the smaller screen I have. It is designed to attach the screen with the pins at the top.
The bottom tray is designed to hold the Wemos D1 Mini board somewhat securely but without the ability to put a slot in it is only using friction and the small rear tabs. I plan to make a future version that adds a restraint into the case itself to hold down the usb side from above.

I have also included the .step files for all three parts should anyone wish to remix this or improve it. There are also plenty of flat areas to add a logo or design should you desire.

If anyone decides to print this please let me know your comments.
