Ulticontroller-like box.

I wanted to design a custom box that fits snugly alongside my Ulticontroller, with secure locking features in place due to its mains connectivity. I discovered these designs and printed them out: UltiController Locking Sideplates by jwags55, published on Thingiverse on August 11, 2013. The CAD file made it simple to import it into my SW software and draw the box within its specified limits. Alongside the STL files, I will be publishing the 3D print files soon. When slicing, exercise caution and adjust your standard infill overlap to ensure a secure grip on the walls. Ultimaker's Yellow PLA material tends to dry rapidly, so lower your vents and/or reduce print speed or thicken the walls to around 2mm for added security. Use support structures liberally due to the holes, and tailor the amount of support to 40% for optimal results. If you're working with yellow PLA, scale up the curvature print to 1.02 for better accuracy. The contour is drawn first, followed by adjusting the height to your desired length. Two sturdy sideplates are included, which can be securely fastened to the locks; simply delete any unused features such as square holes and the SD card slot if you're not using them in conjunction with a wooden housing. Be sure to check back soon for two additional files required for the lids – update September 27, 2013: now available!
