I had my wall-wart AC adapter that I was using for the Cyclone die recently. So I went way overboard and designed an electronics/power enclosure that sits below the machine. The final product looks like this:


The parts are all available on thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2451278

The box itself is laser cut out of white acrylic and then welded together with acrylic solvent. Here's what all the pieces look like:


The inside of the box is a tight fit. It houses the Mega3D board, a voltage regular for stepping the 48V power supply down to 12V for the Mega3D (the spindle gets the full 48V), a fan, and some misc 3D printed pieces. The power supply attaches to the top piece, which then slots into the base and screws into 4 bracket pieces. Here's what the inside looks like:


The front panel has a spindle power switch, emergency stop button, and main power LED:



The logo is laser etched and then filled with black acrylic paint. I used the same technique for the text labels on the front and back:

This ended up being a much more ambitious project than I intended, but it turned out really well. It gives me a new respect for people that design these sorts of enclosures for a living.
