Portable Lowrider in Annapolis

Keeping with the theme of keeping my low rider portable I wanted to keep the electronics package self contained.

I had a separate control box on my mpcnc and a tft display which were constantly getting banged around and I had issues with wires coming loose etc.

The low rider case houses an SKR 1.3, power supply, buck converter, and a raspberry pi 3A. It’s hard to tell from the picture but the electronics actually cup around the stepper on the y plate to keep it as low profile as ready.

I used soldered aviation plugs to connect wires which challenged my skills but they won’t be coming loose any time soon.

Here’s the finished box…


It’s kind of a one off design for a specific board and power supply but I’m happy to share if anyone wants the stl’s.
