Box Design by drawing Circuit Board

Your electronic project will eventually end up on a circuit board. With this OpenSCAD program, enter the dimensions of your circuit board first, then locate the major components that are on that board. From this information, the program makes it easy to generate a suitable enclosure for your project. Code is provided to create two example common enclosures: one snug fit for the Raspberry Pi and another for the Arduino UNO. These examples demonstrate how the program works to design a close fitting enclosure. All measurements are in millimeters. To start, follow these steps: 1. Enter board X and Y dimensions. 2. Enter circuit board thickness. 3. Determine how much space is required for components on top of the board. 4. Determine how much space is required for components on the bottom of the board. 5. Identify the location of the mounting holes for the board. Next, adjust settings as needed: 1. Decide how components must extend through cutouts in the sides of the enclosure. 2. Set the desired gap all around the board. 3. Choose which sides should have vent slots removed. 4. Adjust the number and length of vent slots. By following these steps, you can create a custom enclosure for your electronic project using this OpenSCAD program.
