Should I print my own project box for the Duet 3d?

vreahli

I'm reasonably new to working with electronics in general. Is it a bad idea to print a plastic project box for the duet3d, or should I go for a metal case?

I see no reason to not print your own. Isn't that what this is about? Vent holes if vertical, fans if horizontal.

There are several designs already on Thingiverse, just search for Duet.

Seeing your post reminded me that I hadn't got round to publishing my DuetWifi Controller Box, so I've put it on Thingiverse, not sure if its what you want but may help.

Thanks guys! I was mostly wondering about grounding and static but it sounds fine by popular opinion. @pcsentinel I'll give your case a shot once I get my printer going again.
