RatRig V-Minion 1.1 Electronics Box for BTT Manta M5P

Tried to preserve existing outer geometry.

Final (probably)

This will be the one I have installed on my V-Minion.  I'm not putting them in a folder, they will be at the top level of files.

• All beta2 things wanted below completed (I think)

• The lid I didn't finish yet so won't upload yet

Unimportant commentary follows....I wanted to get the ports closer to flush but it would require more redesign or cutting into parts of the case to pull it over further - I think it was the mounting bolt position. 

Beta2

Beta2 should be good enough to actually use the bottom, I'm still finalizing the lid. Changes since beta or features added:

• Exposed all ports - everything on the ethernet side, and all the power screw terminals

• Removed structure and small tunnel on the screw terminal side to make more space

• Changed pretty much all holes to bestigons

• Bottom has hexes for ventilation and the big rectangle is to allow ribbon connector access

• Moved PCB as close to the box edge as I will probably go, I think can't go anymore without changing shape of box corners

• Removed front slot and bolt holes which were for ??

• Removed all previous venting, added bestagons

Things missing in BETA2

• Lid and midplate not published, I have them but…

• Need strain relieve solution for power screw terminal side

-------------

Removed

• Entire midplate for the Pi

• Front holes for the Pi

• Token oval vent holes on bottom case

• Cooling fan

• Reduced height of lid since it does not need to accommodate the Pi

Added / Enhancements

• Side access holes for ethernet side of M5P

  • Ethernet

  • USBx2

  • SD Card

  • HDMI

  • USB-C

• Ribs on bottom to stiffen

• Aggressive bestagons for air intake from below

• Mount points on top for 60mm and 80mm fan (Noctua assumed)

BoM

• M3 heatset with 4.6mm diameter, Voron standard ones also ok you will just have to overmelt (for M5P underside standoffs)

• 60mm or 80mm fan for lid (NOT IN BETA design)

• (4) M3x6mm to attach M5P to standoffs

• (4) bolts for the fan

Notes

The heatset holes for the M5P standoffs are in-between sized. Just because I have a bunch of 4.6mm heatsets which I accidentally ordered instead of Voron-standard 5.0mm (diameter).

Open to ideas on the top cover. I may publish various ones with fans, logos, etc.

The case is 20mm bigger in the long-axis because the M5P is bigger in that axis than the SKRat.
