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:

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.
