Project Box with Rotary Encoder Hole, 1602A LCD and Longruner Mini Nano ATMega328 BMP180 mount

thingiverse

This is a project box I designed in TinkerCAD for a densely packed Rotary Encoder, BMP180 pressure sensor board, 1602A LCD and a Longruner Mini Nano. The rotary encoder is a CTS 288 from leobodnar.com, who also offers high-quality aviation style rotary knobs that work extremely well. The box features clips which enable the top to snap securely into place, although one clip broke off when I assembled it. Despite this setback, the box still holds together solidly thanks to its tight tolerances. For a removable design, you might consider modifying it to be screwed together, but I opted for a more permanent and seamless build. Initially, I printed the box using Cura, but significantly improved results were achieved after switching to Simplify3D. In the future, I plan on refining the design to include an ON/OFF switch and battery power.
