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
Related guides:
Always power off and unplug the OSSM before installing or removing the lid. The PCB operates at 24V and can drive several amps—avoid contact with live terminals.

Material: Print in PETG or PLA+. PETG provides better heat resistance around electronics; PLA+ is acceptable in cool environments. ABS/ASA is optional for higher ambient temperatures.Orientation: Place the lid flat on its largest face for best dimensional accuracy and finish. No supports are required.
1

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.
2

Print and clean up

Print the part. After cooling, remove any brim (if used) and lightly deburr edges so snaps/edges seat smoothly.
The lid sits flat on a table without rocking and the perimeter is free of elephant’s foot.

Install the lid

1

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.
2

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

  • 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.
  • Increase wall count or flow by 1–2% and reprint for crisper snap geometry.
  • Consider PETG for slightly more flexible, resilient snaps.
  • 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.
