Customizable electronics box generator

thingiverse

WORKS ONLY FOR LATEST OPENSCAD RELEASE - 2019.05. This is a basic OpenSCAD parametric box creator for electronics I've designed specifically for my requirements. It's annoying to design a new box from scratch every time I start a DIY project, so now a simple box can be generated in just a few minutes by adjusting customizer parameters and measuring with my ruler at hand. Of course, the boxes I design myself can look more impressive but when I need a quick one-time solution it's really helpful. For testing generator limits I designed an Orange Pi Lite case in 30 minutes (including time to take measurements) for my Octoprint server and it looks okay despite being a complex object with many holes. It's a simple generator, but it has some special functions like custom holes, text, mounts, sleeves, hole arrays. Also, every main parameter of the box can be adjusted - wall thickness, chamfers, margin, and so on. More information about using it can be found in the instructions tab. The number of custom-generated structures is limited, but it's easy to increase them by simply copying and pasting code inside the script. Current version limits are: - 4 auto-generated sleeves for cover - 4 auto-generated sleeves for standard PCB (can be turned off) - 32 custom holes (circle or rectangle type) with skirts on any box side (cover, bottom, walls) - 12 custom sleeves for PCB and other components fixing inside the box - 10 custom mounts for box mounting anywhere you need - 10 custom multiline hole arrays (circle or rectangle) for generating cooling ports and other stuff - 10 custom extruded custom strings on any box wall. Also, I've included some special features like one-click option to prepare a model for printing (no need to move and rotate objects before printing), parts hide/show/move/transparency options, and description tab for presets to provide easier identification and version management.
