A Simple 1 Channel Relay Case (Encloser/Box)
Now I am customizing my Anet A8 with Octoprint and Raspberry pi. This time, I'm trying to make my Octoprint server controls power On/Off of Anet A8 by using a relay. So I tried to find a case fo my cheap relay on thingiverse. But i wasn't lucky enough. There are many awesome cases for various relays but none of them was for mine. So I designed one by my self.
For Relay size: 1 channel / 43 x 17 x 20 (mm)

2018-06-19 FIX (v4 & v5)
- v4: I had to admit that the case of version 2 was too thin. So I modified the wall thicker.
- v5: The version 4 was okay. But too tight. So I made larger version of it. And now the base and case are in separated STL files.
- Also, now no need the stopper to close the case anymore. Once you close it. It will be never easily opened. (Caution!)
- This is final version of this relay case. I know there are still some issues. But I already full filled my purpose - making just a simple relay case for Raspberry PI and Octoprint.
- All the previous STL files are deleted. Only v4 and v5 are stored in ZIP file.

2018-06-17 FIX (v2)
- The edge of cable closer was too sharp to print. So I made 0.5mm of extra wall and thicker.
- Fixed the mis-matching length of 2 cover's holes. (Critical Mistake!! ;_;)
- Added stopper not to easily opened.
It's made very thin. So it could be a little bit weak. - The wall is only 1.5mm
But I like this because I can save the time for printing and also save money for filament. =)
Someday I could make thicker version but so far, I'm fine with it.
Thanks.
