A neat and easy to install octoprint enclosure to fit an Ender 5 / Pro

Unlike other similar designs the base of this enclosure is separate from the upper half so installation is much simpler

This design is to suit a Raspberry Pi 3B+

You will require:

4x M3 x 10mm countersunk bolts - For joining the two halves
4x M3 x 10mm bolts - For mounting the Pi
8x M3 Nuts

Technically the pi needs smaller bolts but M3 bolts will fit with a little persuasion.
The screen should mount with the original bolts.

To power my Pi I use an "Up Angled" Micro USB Male to USB cable which is plugged in to a Buck Converter mounted inside my Ender 5's Enclosure. You will most likely need to do something similar.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Creality

Printer: 

Ender 5

Rafts:

Yes

Supports: 

Yes

Resolution:

0.2

Infill: 

15


Filament:
Anycubic PLA Red 
 

Notes: 

I don't normally use a raft to print but for the upper half it proved necessary to stop the thin edges lifting off the bed.

The upper half will also require supports, I used tree supports.

 

Rotate both parts to print with the base on the bed
