Arduino UNO hardcase V2

thingiverse

I am presenting version two of my Arduino UNO hardcase. It boasts several notable upgrades over its predecessor. Firstly, I have made adjustments to the USB hole in order to accommodate a UNO derivative that features a revised connector. This alteration enables the board to securely snap into place, offering an unparalleled level of interlocking strength between the base and lid. A series of holes on the lid is strategically arranged to facilitate effortless drilling operations - specifically tailored for precise hole-patterning requirements. Notably, this upgraded design boasts increased height to allow for seamless integration of a single shield board within its parameters. In terms of construction, I highly recommend securing both components together using M4 screws and matching nuts. To achieve the perfect fastening experience, I swear by socket head bolts. Most recently, in 2019, the lid underwent further refinement - expanding the available height allowance to an extra 3mm to support the growing demands of increasingly intricate connectors. Regarding the inception of this design, I meticulously crafted it within Solidworks by relying on a pre-existing 3D model as a point of reference for the Arduino UNO board. The outcome has been nothing short of spectacular, culminating in an end product whose defining features include a transparent lid. This thoughtful consideration has not only elevated its overall aesthetic appeal but also offers unobstructed access to key components nestled beneath it.
