David ScholtenHere it is, the new enclosure fresh from the printer:
This was printed at a 100% percent infill with a 200um layer height and took 10 hours with a print speed of about 60mm/s. Not seen are the 5 rows of vents on the side of the unit, which should allow the air to flow in and to naturally convect upwards through the top vents.
Taking some measurements with the IR gun, the temperature of the bottom seems to reach 60 degrees Celsius on a fair day. It's a bit too hot for my liking, but there isn't anything else I can do and still maintain the safety of the device - Unless of course I give active cooling a go, but this would need an external power supply. Ultimately though, it should be fine, but with a side of caution.
That aside, I did have fun decorating with the spare jewel thingies and stickers!
For comparison, here is the old casing:
