Decided to make a din rail enclosure for a cheap stepper motor driver/controller, taking inspiration from VFD's used at work. First model built using FreeCAD vs ThinkerCAD, a bit filament wasteful for now due to lack of FreeCAD knowledge. The lower intake grill was printed in the wrong orientation for this reason; I couldn't figure out how to rotate the sketch without breaking the model. There is a top internal slot to fit a 40mm fan, with mount holes spaced 32x32mm per NF-A4x10 spec. The two lower holes by the intake are spaced at 50mm and are intended to be used for breakout terminals securement. Will upload an example picture once my Some Sky terminals come in. Hole spacing on the back is 50mm(horizontal and vertical) in order to use the din rail clip created by Cube-Tech

Printer Used: Prusa Mini+

Material: Esun PLA+

Inserts: Ruthex Threaded Inserts Kit M2/3/4/5

Screws: Sutemribor M3 Machine Screws Kit

Fan: Noctua NF-A4x10

Stepper Motor Driver: ZK-SMC02

Screwless Terminals:  Same Sky TBL004-508-12BE-2GY

Protoboard: Cut ElectroCookie

External Control Mod: 5 POS DuPont Connector w/ Samtec header MTSW-105-08-T-S-285

Basic Printer settings:

Filaments Preset: Esun PLA @205C all layers

Density: 15%

Vertical Shell Perimeters: 4

Infill: Gyroid

Top/Bottom Pattern: Hilbert Curve/Monotonic

 

P.S. I will be working on making a slimmer version with more details once I gain more knowledge using FreeCAD. Currently, the ZK-SMC02 housing restricts proper exhaust airflow unless you are willing to cut its plastic housing. 

Thanks to the following Youtube channels for their FreeCAD tutorials. @MangoJellySolutions and @CADCAMLessons

Update: Added faceplate with horizontally and vertically centered controller opening for better fan clearance. If your fan is 10+mm thick, I highly recommend you print this version to avoid clearance issues. 

Update: Same Sky terminals arrived, uploading new faceplate with 55mm spaced mount holes for breakout terminal mounting. Added pictures.
