This rugged waterproof box boasts sturdy hinges and latches based on zx82net's innovative design at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3338826. This enhanced box retains the excellent latch and hinge mechanism while introducing a more robust look through redesigned box and lid architecture. The accompanying Fusion360 file features separate parameters for the box and lid, allowing users to customize their prints. The waterproof seal can be achieved by printing a flexible filament seal or cutting a 2mm thick o-ring to the desired length. An alternative approach is to apply DIY silicon sealant, wiping away excess before letting it dry for several hours. The latches and hinges are secured with 20mm M3 screws, requiring eight in total. The spring-loaded hinges exert static pressure on the seal when closed, while two latch options - a simple clip or a two-part cam mechanism - offer adjustable static pressure. Users can swap out latches after assembly to experiment with both designs. A video showcasing the latch operation is available at https://youtu.be/6OlaYMMWIgA. To adjust the mechanism's tightness, users can scale the x&y size of the latches or hinges in their slicer, with a 2% change yielding significant results. Customization Options ==================== Scaling the box directly in the slicer is not recommended, as this may affect screw hole accuracy. Instead, utilize the included Fusion360 f3d archive files, which are parameterized to allow size adjustments through changing length, width, corner radius, and height parameters (Design menu > Change Parameters). A minimum recommended size is 80 x 40 mm with a Height of 16 mm for both box and lid. Feel free to experiment with other dimensions. **Update:** Version 2.0 resolves most issues associated with the Fusion360 model breaking upon resizing. To resize successfully, apply incremental changes: start by resizing from 80 to 100, then 120, followed by 140, and finally 160. A .stp file is also included for users without access to Fusion360. Enjoy your prints and share any customizations you create!
