Bigtreetech Octopus Enclosure With Customizable Panels

An enclosure for the Octopus V1.1 mainboard where you can fully customize your side panels, your fan setup and your fixing solution.

What you need to print:

• One of the available top parts
• One of the available top parts
• All the sidepanels (not mandatory, but recommended)

Top versions:

• 3x40mm fan
• 92mm fan  (custom print modifier available) (see pictures)

Bottom version

• 100x60mm M3
• 100x60mm M4

How to assemble it:           

• Put the heat set inserts on the bottom
• If you want to secure the enclosure trough the bottom mount holes, do it now.
• Use the M3x8 screws to secure the mainboard to the bottom.
• Secure the fans to the top panels.
• Use the M3x40mm to secure the top part to the bottom trough the 2 holes.
• The best way to install the panels is to insert one edge it into the guide of the first leg, then slightly bend the panel and slide into the guide of the second leg. 

Printing tips: 

• Top part: When you print it, be sure to set a high minimum layer time to limit speed, so that the mounting legs have a good dimensional accuracy, needed for interfacing the side panels. If you use PrusaSlicer or derivatuives, avoid seam lines on the panels interface to make them work as intended.

Side panel customization: You can find an example in the pictures: by importing the .3mf file into your preferred slicer, you can use the “per model setting” and customize the panels, also determining the airflow exiting the enclosure.

You can also avoid the sidepanels and leave the enclosure as it is.
