1, EQ6 Lid design:

Introduction:

I need a new lid to the EQ6 mount where I can place the new AstroEQ driver box. If it later will be a permanent solution I can 3D-print a new enclosure to it and place it inside the EQ6 mount. The latest is a lid for the FYSETC-E4 board to be placed inside the EQ6 chassi.

The AstroEQ box:

The AstroEQ box placed on top of the lid to the EQ6 mount. I need some holes for the cables and don't want to drill holes in the original lid. It's easy to 3D-print a new lid for that purpose.

Dimensions of the lid:

I use the same dimension as the original lid, note that it's not symmetrical.

It's padded to 4 mm thickness and has rounded edges.

The holes where the cables go to the stepper motors.

EQ6 Lid for FYSETC-E4 board:

This is a prototype lid for the FYSETC-E4 board. Test print it on your own risk. I live in a very cold country, if you live in a hot environment you maybe need to add a fan to not let it overheat. Check the clearance around it to the EQ6 chassi, I have not done that yet, it can be a risk of shortcuts ! The four pillars you have to thread with M3, you have to drill them with 2.4 mm first.
