Inspired by my co-worker Carlos, I've begun designing this Arduino Modular Enclosure System Stack. Eventually, I'll have a full set of stack modules for various shield heights, input devices like joysticks and buttons, and displays (LCD) and accessories (solar cells?) The walls are scored to facilitate removal, for when you want to run cables in and out

An OpenSCAD script to generate a simple 2 part fit together packaging. Consisting of a pair of hollow rounded cuboids with alternate internal and external lips for a click together fit. Support posts with screw holes or nubs can be added to the bottom half to hold a PCB or other item in place. It can also create simple rectangular, cylindrical or conical cutouts on any face of the packaging. With this script you can easily make packaging for almost any electronic device you are working on! This looks complicated but it has saved me a huge amount of time making custom packages for people over the past few days. I will release a more advanced version in a few days with options for adding mouse ears and having cutouts not penetrate the outer face for better surface finish! Changes from previous versions: v1.5 - adjusted a few values after receiving SLA proto-types - increased height of posts - added support structures on top side - decrease diameter of support structures on top side sightly to allow for brackets at end of 40 way - decreased z clearance v1.4 - added angled lip (Cube_cone_cylinder_minkowski sum) for better mating of top and bottom parts when made via SLA/SLS etc - new more simplistic rounded cuboid module - moved around the cutout for the uUSB so that there wasn't such a thin piece of plastic above it - changed post type to nub as SLA should be able to handle the resolution - added easier control of orientation of parts relative to each other using single variable side_by_side - added axis labels to most faces and tyndall logo to bottom - added new fit type for super accurate manufacturing techniques such as SLA v1.3 - Fix cutout positions for TOP SQUARE East and BOTTOM SQUARE West side - Fix position of base of support posts on bottom half v1.2 - Fixed Inner and Outer Lip Clearance implementation - Added ability to generate support posts on bottom half of either nub or screw hole type v1.1 - ???This version was lost in a computer crash. GRRRR! - ???It implemented the ability to choose the reference point for measurements for each side - ???Let this be a lesson! - ???Back your stuff up regularly and on separate devices! v 1.0 - Ensure pcb_clearance and fit clearance is taken into account - fit type values changed - - force_fit from 0.4 to 0.2 - - hold_fit from 0.6 to 0.3 - - slide_fit from 0.8 to 0.4 - - free_fit from 1to 0.5 - add cylinder & square holes to all faces - allowed to stack or see side by side - replace 0.1s with a_bit - check holes on top & bottom sides meet properly

I decided to revive the venerable iris box by redesigning it in OpenSCAD and making it printable with fewer parts and less assembly. It's also somewhat larger (though now the dimensions are easily adjustable with OpenSCAD), the tracks are redesigned to give more rigidity when closed, and it now opens and closes according to righty-tighty, lefty-loosey. The ring is also aesthetically redesigned and the base interior tapers down the wall thickness to give a little more internal volume.

It's supposed to be a small box with a ying and yang lid and when you turn the rim ying and yang are supposed to move apart. i'm not really sure if it works or not.

This thing provides a way of easily attaching a packaged electronics device to your shoelaces or various other locations. A large rounded rectagular prism cutout holds the packaged device in the centre, at the base of this there are "arms" that spread out from the central part with cutouts to pass laces over and a sharp egded raised lip to keep them there. This relies on a friction fit to keep the packaged device in place so if you find that yours is too loose you may need to pad it out with tape etc. In this case it was used with the output of the Customisable Electronic Device Packaging script thingiverse.com/thing:7658 Note: you will need the mouse_ears_test.scad file in the same folder for the mouse ears to compile with this file properly Changes from previous versions: 0.6 - reduced tolerance from 0.45-0.3 0.5 - Fixed faulty internal breadth calculation to use held_item_b instead of held_item_h - New module to handle strange shaped cutouts - Corrected lack of $fn variable in rounded_cuboid_2_3 module - Reduced overall height (introducing new variable total_h=15) from 30.6-15 - Cleaned up code 0.4 - reduced tolerance on corners from 0.45-0.1 - increased tolerance from 0.3-0.45 - used newer implementation of rounded cuboid module 0.3 - added mouse ears - changed held item dimensions to those of mass produced SLA clear resin WIMUv3 Packaging i.e. 30.6 32.5 38.5 0.2 - added cutout_radius variable 0.1 - First attempt

This is a simple small parts tray. I needed one for holding small screws, etc when I disassemble a device. I searched Thingiverse for one, but didn't find one, so I designed this one. This is my very first 3D design. I used Alibre Design to do it. It's very cool to design something (simple or otherwise) from thin air and, a couple of minutes later, be holding it in your hand!

a box that is made from a base, a lid and as many sides as you want, all stacked on top of each other!

This is a simple enclosure that I designed for an Arduino Duemilanove (USB). The "top" part slides into the bottom one. The one I printed has enough friction that I didn't need any glue to hold the two parts together, yet they can still be taken apart when needed. There is a hole on the side opposite from the USB port through which you can put cables. There are also two holes in the top part that I used for a led and a push-button. Those can be easily commented out if not needed.

Random bits sort box for screws or anything else small. I made the insides of each sort section and the main front sort area curved to (hopefully) improve the ease of removing bits quickly. It can also be connected to another sort box to make a mega sort box, or connected to two for a super-mega sort box. This passed ReplicatorG gcode generation, but as I have no printer (yet) it is untested. This was built in Google Sketchup and was a giant pain to remove all the interior extras that got left behind from modeling so Skeinforge would stop saying "this should never happen" errors over and over. Update #1: I modified the sort box (sortboxb.stl) to have a deeper front sort area mostly to reduce the amount of plastic used. Update #2: Added top for the smaller individual sort areas (passed gcode generation).

Just enter. And change the size,I become the pen case. Application Made the sensor case. Reed switch and battery box, PCB. "ON" and "OFF" from the outside with a magnet. "OFF" the top of the cover put on. "ON" is put at the bottom.
