About this 3D model

A customizable box for my arduino /ramps combination for mounting on the MendelMax. Still experimental (yet to print). Slide the base into the 4 clips, then put it on the MendelMax. Cover it up with M3 on the cover. Update (after observation, printing, more measuring, my MendelMax): - Only 2 of the 4 arduino holes fit. If you want a good fit, (re)measure the hole distances. I'm content for now - My box needed to be a lot higher than 40mm. I used 65 mm (new2.scad). - The box is a little bit too long (about 5mm?) to fit on the lower left back part of my MendelMax. Reducing clip width can solve this problem. - I printed the whole in ABS during the night. The upper part warped and there are not so pretty cracks. I think the fan was aimed a bit too low. From now on I print ABS without any fan (it only caused trouble and only has small benefits) . Fortunately ducttape is my friend. - I drilled the top holes with a 4mm drill to use it with 4.0x60mm screws. Problably have to drill the base plate with 3mm. - Still have to see if the polulu's get hot. I think they'll manage. - The clip system work quite good. You can set the clearance. - I mounted the base plate on another extrusion. Works good, maybe even a better place than the lower left (cables are more off the ground).
