Example for the Standard package
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 a case to print for the board or module of your project: a base and a lid with openings for connectors, buttons, a display or LEDs, posts for the board's screws and, from the Standard package, ventilation slots. It is for low-voltage boards, such as single-board computers like Raspberry Pi, Arduino or ESP32 boards, sensors and small modules. Send the board's size, its hole positions and the positions and sizes of its connectors; a photo with a ruler or a link to the board's published drawing helps. You get a ZIP archive: STL and 3MF files to print, OBJ for 3D editors, GLB to view it on the web, a DXF outline, the code with the main sizes at the top, a README with printing advice and pictures from four sides. The lid fits with a gap of 0.2-0.4 mm. We do not do wiring or electrical safety, promise no waterproof rating and make no cases for mains voltage (110-240 V).
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 for CAD and laser cutting, model.js with the main sizes as named numbers at the top, a README with printing advice and 4 PNG pictures of the 3D model from four sides, which are also shown on the order page. The base and the lid lie side by side, ready to print separately.
- Fits your boardScrew posts placed at the board's mounting holes
- Openings where you need themFor connectors, buttons, a display or LEDs, on the sides you choose
- A lid that holdsOn a lip, on screws or on snap clips, depending on the package
- A fit gap and solid walls0.2-0.4 mm between the base and the lid, walls of at least 1.2 mm
- Printing adviceWhich side down, supports, layer height, infill and material, in the README
How it works
- 1Board sizesYou send the board's sizes, hole positions and connectors
- 23D modelWe build the 3D model and check that it is a closed solid of the sizes you asked for
- 3CheckYou check the sizes in the pictures and the README and print a test piece
- 4ChangesYou send what to change, with measurements, within your package
What we need from you
The name of the board or module if it has a published drawing, and its size in mm: length, width and the height of its tallest part. The positions and diameters of its mounting holes, measured from one corner. Every connector, button, display or LED that needs an opening: which side it is on, its position and its size. How the lid should hold, where cables come in, and whether the case stands on a desk or goes on a wall. A photo of the board from above with a ruler, or a link to its published drawing, helps a lot. The material you will print in, if you know it.
We will ask you:
- Which board or module is it?
- The board's size and mounting holes, in mm
- Which openings does it need?
- How should the lid hold, and where will the case be?
- Your printer and material

Questions and answers
Do you print it?
No. We make the 3D model and its files; you print it on your own printer or order printing from a print shop. We do not print, sell or ship anything. The printer, the material and the printing settings are yours, and the README gives advice on them.
Will it be waterproof or safe for mains voltage?
No. The case is for low-voltage boards and modules. We do not do wiring or electrical safety, do not promise a waterproof rating and do not make cases with mains voltage (110-240 V) inside.
Can I change the sizes later?
Yes: ask for a change within your package's revisions and give the new sizes in mm. The main sizes are also named numbers at the top of model.js, for anyone who works with code.
What if the board does not fit?
We take every size from you or from the board's published drawing and never guess where the holes or connectors are: if a size is missing, we ask. Check the sizes in the pictures and the README, and print the base first to try the board in it. If something is off, send the measurements and ask for a change within your package.
Can you put labels for the connectors on the case?
No, the 3D model carries no lettering, logos or pictures. You can add labels in your slicer, such as Cura or PrusaSlicer, or in a 3D editor, or stick them on after printing. We also cannot edit a case file you send, such as STL or STEP: we build a new one from your sizes.
