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 box that holds the controller of your LED strip neatly under a shelf, behind a TV or inside a cabinet. It has a base with posts at the controller board's holes, a lid, and openings for the strip's wires, the low-voltage power cable, a button, a window for a remote receiver or status LEDs, placed where you measured them. From Standard, ventilation slots let warm air out; in Premium, tabs fix it to a wall or under a shelf. You give the controller's size and holes, the positions of its terminals and button, and the diameter of each cable. 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 controllers only, such as for 5, 12 or 24 V strips: the mains power supply stays outside the box. No wiring, no electrical safety, no waterproof rating.

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 controller's size 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.
• Openings for the wiresSized to each cable's diameter, on the sides you choose
• Button and receiverA hole for the button and a window for a remote receiver or LEDs
• Posts for the boardAt the controller's mounting holes, or a pocket if it has none
• Warm air outVentilation slots from Standard
• FixingTabs for a wall or under a shelf, in Premium

How it works

1. 1
   Controller sizesYou send the controller's size, holes, terminals and cable diameters
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 the boardYou check the pictures and the README and print the base first to try the board in it
4. 4
   ChangesYou send what to change, with measurements, within your package

What we need from you

The controller's size in mm: length, width and the height of its tallest part, with its mounting holes from one corner if it has them. The terminals or plugs the strip and power wires go to, and the diameter of each cable. Where the button, the remote receiver and any LEDs are. How many strips connect, and where the box will be fixed: under a shelf, on a wall, behind a TV. A photo of the controller from above with a ruler helps. The voltage of the strip and its power supply, so we can check it is low voltage, and the material, if you know it.

We will ask you:

• The controller's size and holes, in mm
• Wires and cables
• Button, receiver, LEDs
• Where it goes
• Voltage and material
