Rancilio Silvia housing for Clever Coffee PCB & Meanwell RS-15-5 Power supply

Designed this housing to mount to the bottom of my Rancilio Silvia V3 coffee machine to fit the following components:

• A Clever Coffee PCB
• And a Meanwell RS-15-5 power supply 

The housing has a snap fit lid and is bottom mounted to be as far away from moisture and heat as possible.

Print settings:

• Despite being away from the heat, I do recommend printing it out of a strong & heat-resistant material. I printed mine in PETG.
• I'd recommend a minimum of 4 walls and a high infill to create some strength.

What you'll need:

I have designed this housing with the following additional mounting hardware in mind.

• To mount the PCB to the housing:
  • 4 * M3 heat set inserts (max length - 7mm)
  • 4 * M3 x 8mm bolts (may be slightly shorter)
• To mount the housing to the coffee machine:
  • 2 * M4 heat set inserts (max length - 9mm)
  • 2 * Washers ⌀ 10mm OD(must fit M4 bolt)
  • 2 * M4 x 16mm bolts (may be longer)
• To mount he power supply to the housing:
  • 2 * M3 x 4mm bolts
• Optionally, I have a ~ 12mm x ~ 15mm rubber grommet on the opening.

Installation instructions:

1. Add all the heat set inserts to the housing
2. Flip your Rancilio Silvia on its side or upside down (don't forget to remove you water thank 😋)
3. Unbolt the two pump bolts
4. Feed the power supply wires down to the bottom of the machine where the housing will be mounted.
5. Feed the power supply wires through the hole in the housing first.
6. Position the power supply in the housing and secure it in place with the two small M3 bolts from the side.
7. Drop the housing in place and secure it with the pump bolts, and two M4 bolts + washers from the top.
8. You can now add the PCB whenever you are ready to.
9. Add the lid and start your brew.

And finally, head over to the rancilio-pid/clevercoffee project on GitHub and give them some love, all credits for the PCB go to all the contributors there.
