GPS enclosure

thingiverse

This is an enclosure for the GPS receiver kit provided by QRP labs at http://shop.qrp-labs.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=84. The box includes spacers for the PCB and a pull relief for the cable, along with holes for three status LEDs. The PCB can be secured to the case using either 3 mm self-tapping screws or nylon screws recommended by QRP labs in the kit. If the nylon screws are used, an M3 thread needs to be cut into the plastic, which is easy to do. Four pieces of 3x12 mm self-tapping screws secure the top part to the bottom, while two additional 3x6 mm screws are needed for the pull relief. I printed the enclosure with ABS material for weatherproofing; however, if the intended use is indoors, PLA should suffice. Printer settings include a BQ Hephestos printer, raft usage, support generation, resolution, and infill percentage. Notes indicate that the print was completed using ABS on a heated bed at 90°C. Due to the rounded shape of the box, ABS sludge was applied to ensure the print stuck to the building platform.
