A case for an 85 × 56 mm board with openings for its ports

The base and the lid, ready to print side by side

Seen from above

Size: the case is 92 × 63 × 26 mm. There are two parts, the base and the lid, laid 8 mm apart. Files:

• model.stl and model.3mf for printing;
• model.obj and model.glb;
• outline.dxf;
• model.js, with the board's size, its holes and every opening as named numbers at the top;
• a README.

The README tells you to check the openings against your board before printing. The lid's lip has a 0.3 mm gap, so it sits on without force.

Client: a hobbyist building a small home server on a single-board computer. Task: a case for a board of 85 × 56 mm with four M2.5 holes 3.5 mm from its edges. It needs three openings on the long side for two USB ports and a network port, two on the short side for power and video, and a lid with vent slots that sits on with a lip.

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

A 3D model of an enclosure that clips onto a DIN rail, for a low-voltage module of your project: a microcontroller board, a sensor board or a converter module. It has a base with a clip for the rail and posts at the board's holes, a lid, and openings for the terminal blocks, a USB port, LEDs and a button, placed where you measured them. You give the board's size and holes, the positions of its terminals and LEDs, the rail width and the room there is in the cabinet. You get a ZIP archive with STL, 3MF, OBJ, GLB, a DXF outline, the code with the sizes at the top, a README with printing advice and pictures from four sides. It is for low-voltage modules only: no mains voltage inside the enclosure, no wiring and no electrical safety. It is not a certified enclosure for an electrical panel and has no waterproof rating, and how firmly the clip holds depends on your material and print.

What is included

• What you getA ZIP archive with model.stl and model.3mf for 3D printing, model.obj for 3D editors, model.glb for viewing on the web and in augmented reality, outline.dxf with the outline seen from above, model.js with the board's size, the rail width and every opening as named numbers at the top, a README with printing advice and 4 PNG pictures from four sides, also shown on the order page. The base and the lid lie side by side, ready to print separately.
• Clip for the railMade for the rail width you give, usually 35 mm
• Terminals within reachOpenings over terminal screws and plugs
• Status at a glanceHoles for LEDs, and light pipes as small parts in Premium
• Fits the cabinetWidth, height and depth kept within the room you give
• A lid that holdsOn a lip, on screws or on snap clips, depending on the package

How it works

1. 1
   Module and railYou send the board's size, holes, terminals, the rail width and the room in the cabinet
2. 2
   3D modelWe build the 3D model and check that it is a closed solid of the sizes you asked for
3. 3
   Try it on the railYou check the pictures and print the base first to try the board and the clip
4. 4
   ChangesYou send what to change, with measurements, within your package

What we need from you

The board or module: its length and width, the height of its tallest part in mm, and its mounting holes from one corner. The terminals, USB port, button and LEDs that must be reached or seen: which side, position and size. The width of your DIN rail, and the room in the cabinet: the height, the depth and how wide the enclosure may be. Where the wires come in: from the top, the bottom or the front. The voltage the module runs at, so we can check it is low voltage. The material, if you know it.

We will ask you:

• Which module goes inside?
• Its size and holes, in mm
• Terminals, ports and LEDs
• The rail and the cabinet
• Voltage and material
