|
||||
|
||||
To create a box, start by modifying the numerical parameters in the sections
|
||||
below. This can be accomplished using a release of OpenSCAD newer than 2015.03.
|
||||
As of the time of writing, this means that a development snapshot is required.
|
||||
The Thingiverse Customizer may also potentially work, but at the time of
|
||||
writing, it was inoperable.
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest choice is to hand-edit the .scad file. Feature toggles are
|
||||
annotated with a comment. The other numerical parameters are measurements in
|
||||
mm. Everything is parametrized, so if you double all the non-feature parameters
|
||||
you will double the box size in every dimension. Certain parameters are derived
|
||||
from other parameters. If you wish to override them, you may, but sensible
|
||||
defaults have been chosen. Notably the design in this revision is particularly
|
||||
PCB-centric, in that you should start with your PCB size and adjust the margins
|
||||
around it to determine the box size. If you care more about the box size, you
|
||||
can set the Length, Width, and Height explicitly, but read the comments around
|
||||
them.
|
||||
|
||||
Once your box is sized appropriately, you can use the Panel modules to design
|
||||
the holes and text for the front and back panels. Helper variables are provided
|
||||
to assist you in positioning these holes relative to the PCB, if your holes are
|
||||
for PCB-mounted components.
|
||||
|
||||
When you are ready to print, adjust the values in the "STL element to export"
|
||||
section, and export each part one at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
Experimental options are provided for a screwless design, but these are
|
||||
untested. In particular, the box fixation tabs may need thicknesses adjusted
|
||||
in order to have the appropriate flexibility.
