My original "Cherry Pi III USB and XBox power box" worked well - but I found that the XBox 203W PSU just wasn't powerful enough to drive my printer. As soon as I turned on both the hot-end and the heated bed, the green light on the PSU briefly turned red and the controller board reset itself. After changing the controller board from RAMPS to Duet I realised that I needed an ethernet port as well as one for USB, and I wanted to remove the hole for the XBox socket - but making changes in FreeCAD proved to be horrendous, so I redesigned the whole thing in OpenSCAD. The SCAD files are (mostly) parametrized so people can adjust things to suit their own needs and, if they know OpenSCAD, they can add, remove or adjust the lid holes to suit their needs, and adjust the size of the box to suit. The image above shows the Duet board in my Cherry Pi, and you can see the extension cables snaking around to the right-hand side of the board. Note: the photo shows the old case - the principle is the same. Although designed to fit a Cherry Pi, it should also work for any similar printer that uses 2 rails made from 20x20 aluminium extrusion and M5 t-nuts.
