3D model description

This is a dimmer control box for 12-24v LEDs installed on your 3D printer (or elsewhere). It was made to house the circuit board and potentiometer found within this comically large unit I purchased on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W9L3MZW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

This will allow you to reduce the footprint of that behemoth box to be around 75% smaller/more compact. I designed it to mount on and Ender 3 V2 (all E3's) with two possible mounting options. The standard mount uses the vertical v-slot behind the screen... Basically it mounts on the opposite side of the z-stop in roughly the same location using two t-nuts. The second version (B) is intended to be mounted under the screen on an ender 3/pro and secured with 3M VHB (or similar double-sided mounting tape) to the backside of the metal screen mounting plate or anywhere else you may want to stick/install it.

The lids are a bit loose fitting and may/may not snap/hold into place when installed. A couple of drops of CA/super glue should do the trick. The only other trick is removing the screw terminals off of the board to make installation into the new enclosure possible. You simply use a flathead screwdriver to pry up the green tabs that are holding them, then half of that green block/mount will slide out. You can then insert the board into the box and reattach the screw terminals afterwards.

Wiring is pretty straightforward, but assumes you do know what you are doing... And, planning your wire lengths in advance is pretty helpful.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the ability to dim your LEDS using a once ginormous dimming module. I would love to see how you incorporate yours.
