YARB
Description
This is a derivative of two people's boxes:
jman's -
thingiverse.com/thing:13979
and
oTTo's - thingiverse.com/thing:21389
My RAMPS 1.4 board came from a vendor who had some different connectors. So, in making a box to fit my setup I added some RepRap features to show the World that what is hidden inside IS COOL!
My first print is kinda junky (embarrassing) but, I'm too anxious to show it off. I've made adjustments since my first print for the 50mm fan bolts to be recessed and the small RepRap vent openings should be fine but, printable.
The design was done with Sketchup.

As a RepRap newbie I have yet to see this question answered in an obvious place, such as the RAMPS page on reprap.org… Where did you connect up the power to your electronics cooling fan? The build area fan is usually wired to D9, so it's not clear where to connect up a second fan on RAMPS (1.4). What was your personal solution?

The design is to have wires route out the bottom box not the sliding cover/lid. This will allow easy removal of the sliding lid. I expect to route wiring through the rectangular opening above the USB opening. Your motor and other wires will be above the RAMPS board heater connections.
9/26/12 - Added a picture with my box wired. 4 steppers, two temps, 3 end stops, 2 LED lights, heated build platform. @Entropy85: you write - 20 steppers, 4 temps and 6 end stops! That won't fit on a RAMPS. Well, the 6 end stops will.
Will all of the wires fit through the back 2 slots on the top? Thats a lot of wires to get in there, 20 steppers, 4 temps, and 6 end stops. I don't see any other open area for them to enter the box at. I definitely like the idea thus far though.

I still ha
ven't installed my box but, a quick motor plug in, wire routing and imagination looks like all should fit. :-) Unless you are dual extruder and lots of ???? ;)
Very pretty, and functional.
Not a combination you get by regularly...
Nice Job!

Fan - 3 methods: (1) direct connect to spare power from PSU (On all the time machine is on.)., (2) Same as (1) with the addition of a manual switch to turn on and off at your discretion. (3) Search eBay or 'Google It' for a Thermal Switch 12-24VDC, 30-120C and then proceed as in (1) with fan attached. This allows you to set your desired temperature for the automatic fan - 50C for me.
