Parametric Project Box

Customisable Project Box (Inspired by YouTube Video) This project box is designed to accommodate one standard green double-sided protoboard with a power jack, wall mounting holes, and a snap-fit lid. The customiser allows for protoboard mountings to be removed, protoboard size to be specified, power-jack hole to be removed or resized, and removal or sizing of mounting holes as well as changing the overall size of the box. When entering protoboard sizes in the customizer, measure the full size of the board. The script will automatically center the mounting spiggots 1.75mm from each edge. ### Update v0.2 (March 5, 2019) Added support for holes in lid. Up to three rows/columns can be chosen and blanked as needed. Specify an array of hole diameters for each row/column. Holes will be equally spaced within the chosen row/column. It is not recommended to use both rows and columns simultaneously, as this may lead to unexpected results in the placement of holes. However, it can be done with care. Each row/column in the customizer contains instructions on how to add holes and disable that row/column. Multiple holes can be added, and they will always be equally spaced. ### Update v0.3 (March 5, 2019) - BUG FIX: Columns of holes were being placed from bottom to top, corrected to be a more logical top-to-bottom. - Improved layout of customisable options in Customizer. - Added option to save only the base, only the top, or both in one STL. Of course, if additional holes are needed, the box can be customised as desired. The STL file can then be downloaded and imported into Tinkercard to add extra holes. Alternatively, the source .scad file can be downloaded and used to add extra holes in OpenSCAD.
