MK2 electronics enclosure for Mini Rambo 1.0a

I slightly modified the enclosure to accommodate the LCD adapter "Wing" on the Mini-Rambo 1.0a that older Prusa i3s shipped with, which lengthens the case by 12mm. I don't yet have my MK2 upgrade kit, so I'm unsure if all the cables will reach properly, so it may be necessary to replace a bunch of wires if you want to use this. This new case requires wires that are about 24mm longer for the heated bed, and around 13.1mm longer for the X carriage components (which may be very important for the MK2 auto-calibration).

It isn't dependent on any of the MK2 upgrades, so it installed on my year old printer (that originally came with the Prusa 2.85mm nozzle) without too many problems, although the heated bed cables are too short and this has forced me to sacrifice Y depth to avoid overstressing the wires.

I also uploaded the hinges to Thingiverse, although I did not modify them. The modified OpenSCAD files are also included if you want to make the case even longer for some reason (just edit the rambo_extra variable in each file).

Hi Chad,

You should take care the the zip should hold the spiral wrap and not directly the cables to protect them over time.

I'm like Jon Snow, I know nothing.
