Lane Control for BoxTurtle v1.1 Enclosure – Front Skirt & Buttons

Compatibility

Designed for BoxTurtle v1.1 fitted with the enclosed BoxTurtle-Enclosure built from 2020 aluminum extrusion. This version replaces the front skirt on that enclosure. The stock open-frame BoxTurtle uses a different skirt.

I wanted a different look for the v1.1 front skirt and a button for each lane. The original Lane Control housing interferes with the E-Spooler in the revised v1.1 layout, so I redesigned the button module and both front skirt halves to provide clearance. The honeycomb front has four integrated button positions.

Files

• 6 STL files — left and right front skirts, housing, button cap, cable cover and the paired skirt clips. Print one left and one right skirt. For a four-lane setup, print four sets of the button parts.

• 2 editable STEP files — Lane Control.step contains the full front-skirt assembly. Lane Control Button.step contains a single button module.

• Assembly video — download the ZIP titled Lane Control - Assembly Video from Other Files and extract Lane Control (5).avi. The 12-second CAD animation shows one button module coming together. The gallery also includes a GIF converted from the AVI and an exploded view of the button assembly.

Required hardware

Per Lane Control button module:

• 2 × M3 heat-set threaded inserts

• 1 × 6 × 6 × 5 mm momentary tactile push-button switch (through-hole / DIP)

• 2 × M3 × 10 mm socket-head cap screws

Basic assembly

The sequence below follows the included Lane Control (5).avi animation. Times are approximate.

1. 0:00–0:04 — Fit the two M3 threaded inserts and seat the tactile switch in the housing. Route the switch wires toward the rear cable exit.

2. 0:04–0:06 — Bring the cable cover and housing together, keeping the wires clear of the seam.

3. 0:06–0:10 — Fit the two skirt clips, one above and one below, and secure them with the two M3 × 10 socket-head screws shown in the STEP file.

4. 0:10–0:12 — Press the purple button cap into the front and check that it moves freely.

Use the full-assembly STEP file as a placement reference for the four modules and the left and right skirt halves. Check the wire routing and clearance around the E-Spooler before final tightening. For switch wiring and configuration, see the original model’s assembly notes and the BoxTurtle Lane Control channel.
