This case is made to replace the stock electronics case of the Ender 3.
It is made to use either the Creality motherboards, or the SKR Mini ones. You can also screw a Raspberry Pi. I am using the PI 3B+ and I have no issues.
It also helps hold the bed aluminium profile in place and steady. The stock aluminium profile holding the bed will cause some wobble of the front and back of the bed because it only holds the middle of the Y axis profile.
The case can also accomodate the Meanwell LRS-350-24 PSU from the Ender 3 PRO and V2.
However, due to space, I could not add a plug. You will need to cut and connect the wires directly in the power supply.
Also, the PRO and V2 bed cables have a different length. For the PRO, use the top hole, for the V2, use the Back hole, under the power supply wire. One caveat, is that you need to disassemble the bed Thermistor connector to feed it in the case hole, in case you are running the PRO version. I made the hole a bit tight to avoid it wearing fast.
For a strong and durable case, use solid and heat resistant filament, such as ABS, ASA and so on. PLA MIGHT work if you have good cooling.
===PRINT SETTINGS===
10 Walls
10 Top
10 Bottom
60% Infill, cubic is ideal (use Z-Hop to avoid grinding of the nozzle)
0.6mm Infill line width
The two cases and covers will take around 1.2Kg of filament.
For the BOM, you will need 16 M4x6/8 screws, 16 M4 T-Nuts, 2 M5x25-30 screws, and 2 M5 bolts.
Also, bear in mind that this is a first version, it might need some improvements, such as holes for USB plugs, or displays, you name it. If you need anything, just ask me in the comments.
