Function
The PCB Lid completes the OSSM electronics enclosure and protects the control board during use and transport. It:- Covers exposed electronics to prevent dust ingress and accidental contact
- Snaps or fastens onto the matching PCB Box base
- Provides a clean, finished appearance for the control unit

Print and prepare
Slice the model
Import the STL and verify scale is 100%. Lay the part flat on its large face and apply the print settings above.
The slicer preview shows no supports and the snap features or edges are clearly formed.
Install the lid
Power down and inspect wiring
Disconnect 24V power. Confirm the PCB is mounted in the Box base and wiring is routed below the rim to avoid pinching. For connector orientation and clearance notes, see the wiring guide linked above.
Align and attach
Position the lid over the Box base. Press evenly at the edges until the snap features engage. If your variant uses heat‑set inserts or screw bosses, install the fasteners until just snug—do not overtighten.
No cables are pinched, the lid is flush on all sides, and buttons/ports remain accessible as intended.
Troubleshooting fit
Lid won’t seat or is too tight
Lid won’t seat or is too tight
- Reduce first-layer squish or enable elephant’s foot compensation in your slicer.
- Lightly chamfer or scrape the inner rim to remove a small burr.
- Verify the Box base is not warped; reprint with a brim if needed.
Fit is loose or snaps don’t hold
Fit is loose or snaps don’t hold
- Increase wall count or flow by 1–2% and reprint for crisper snap geometry.
- Consider PETG for slightly more flexible, resilient snaps.
Interference with connectors or cables
Interference with connectors or cables
- Re-route cables to lie below the enclosure rim and bundle with a small tie or sleeve.
- Ensure terminal blocks are fully seated and not protruding above component height.
