GRBL Arduino CNC Controller Enclosure
GRBL Arduino CNC Controller Enclosure
Embedded Files
This project involved designing a protective enclosure for an Arduino with GRBL shield, optimized for 3-axis CNC machining from 6061 aluminum. The case fits within a 1.9" × 3.9" footprint and includes a laser- or waterjet-cut aluminum lid. Internal layout prevents shorting and allows clean cable routing for USB, power, and Dupont connectors. Mounts to 20x40 T-slot extrusion using M5 hardware.
