This box is designed to replace the original mobo enclosure of the Ender 3 v2 in order to add a Raspberry pi 3, two step-down and two relays inside the printer.

This mod is thought for make the printer controlled from remote exploiting the Wi-Fi connection of the raspberry pi, for this reason fast access to the SD card is not provided.

*The box requires removing also the drawer*

## Compatibility

This box is designed for the `Creality Ender 3 v2`, but it could be compatible also with `Creality Ender 3` and `Creality Ender3 Pro` after some minor changes.

## Components

In order to assemble the box you have to print:

- `box_sx` (to contain the printer's motherboard and one relay)

- `box_dx` (to contain the Raspberry pi 3, two step-down and one relay)

- `cover`x2 (to cover the two boxes)

### Mounting components

- `t-nut M3`x8 (for the printer's frame profiles, you can also [print them](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3050607))

- `screw M3 medium`x8 (for the t-nuts)

- `threaded insert M3`x25 (8 for the covers and 17 for the electrical components)

- `screw M3 short`x25 (8 for the covers and 17 for the electrical components)

### Other components (optional)

- `Raspberry pi 3 model B`

- `module relais`x2 commercial module for 5V support at most 10A, so we need two of it

- `step-down`x2 for the raspberry and the relays

- `nMOSFET` to amplify the raspberry 3.3V signal to 5V (e.g. [IRL520](https://www.vishay.com/docs/91017/91017.pdf))

- `resitors` to make the amplifier

- `some wires` (some usb and DIY wires)
