I needed a box to house an STC-1000 thermal controller for an anodizing project. I should have looked for one on a maker page, but since I didn't, I came up with this and figured it is unique enough to justify publishing.
The outside box dimensions are 100mm by 130mm by 40 mm (~4 x 5 x 1.6 inch). The back plate is interchangeable; the .3mf file has the back plate that I used and a blank. Should you need to make one the dimensions of the back plate are (as designed) 40 x 97 x 3mm. The lateral edges are stepped to fit into the box walls with steps being 1.5mm rise and run.
I made the forward air vents on the side larger so I could have access to the clamps that hold it to the box face.
I used a Molex (TM) connector to connect a heating rod and Wago (TM) connectors for internal and external wire connections.
I also used a power AC connector so the cord could be removed.
I was using a constant current power supply that needed a ground, that is the plug ground exited out the back panel.
I used wire looming to keep the external wires neat and tidy.
As a rarely used item, this was made with PLA. The vents and the screwhead holes did use supports, but they are minimal and I just let the slicer pick them
Hardware I used:
- 4 Inserts 8-32
- 4 Lid Screws 8-32
- 1 8-32 screw and nuts, if a plug ground is needed for other equipment.
- 4 x1 Molex Connector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0796FMM2F?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
- AC Power Connector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VX6JMYV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
Had the Wagos and power cable.
Printed in PLA and will fit on a single plate for larger 254mm + printers.
It takes about 112 g of filament and does use supports (about 4 g) in some areas.
