Arduino mega r3 box v4 - Lid

thingiverse

I created a lid for https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:279537, designed specifically to fit an Arduino Mega (or Uno) and an ethernet shield. The result is a sturdy yet lightweight design that provides a satisfying 'snap' when assembled. It holds its contents securely in place without being too tight, allowing for easy disassembly when needed. I'm impressed by how effectively it keeps the case together without relying on screws. Future updates may include a cut-out for an 1602 LCD display. Assembly instructions are straightforward: start with the jack end and insert the front edge (featuring a square hole) at a 45-degree angle. Be mindful of the tabs, as they can break if you apply too much pressure. I've since reinforced the tabs to make them stronger and sharper, resulting in a more secure hold. The design has proven capable of supporting its own weight (including the bottom, Arduino Mega, ethernet shield, and top) while remaining intact when handled gently. Use version 4 of the .stl file for optimal results. I'd like to extend my gratitude to DCDesigns for their original box design, available on https://www.thingiverse.com/Dcdesigns/about.
