Update - Added additional ModelI added an second model with fan grills, i recommend using this newer model as it prints better and you will not end up with the ugly mess that I have around my fan grills.
DescriptionElectronics Box for neatly storing electronics under you Ender 3 V2. Used to improve cooling and add silent fans, add additional buck converters, relay or temperature sensor.
The box holds.
2 x Bucks Converters 1 x 5v Relay 1 x DHT22 Sensor 1 x RasberryPi 4 2 x 40 x 10 mm fans
RequirementsTo use this case you need to extend the height of your feet. I used

Which adds 40mm clearance.
Why?I hated the noise of my printer, so I added Noctua 40x20 silent fans to the hotend and part cooling, a Noctua 80mm fan to the PSU. To do the PSU fan I had to raise the printer with the mentioned feet. After that I wanted a place to store all the crap (pi, bucks converter ect) so I made this case.
Relay?I use a 5v relay with PSU Control to power my printer. See 4:40 in the below video as to why..

Future PlansI was thinking of doing V2 of this, with the fans at the back, if you are interested add a comment to let me know.
PrintingNo supports required, the front fan spaces are a bit messy to print but they do print. you can find fan grills on thingiverse to cover the fans if you so desire.
