Re: 3d printable enclosures?
|
If you can let me know where, type and
size of the holes you need in the panel, I'll build a printable
(.stl) file for you that matches.? If you'll respond with
something like:
round hole, d1 mm diameter, center at x, y
rectangular hole x1 mm long by y1 mm high at x, y (lower left
corner of hole)
Repeat the above for as many holes as you need, remember all
dimensions are in millimeters (if you want to use inches, just let
me know and I'll convert).? All measurements will be taken from
the lower left corner of the panel.

I have had
OpenScad on my computer since I built my 3D printer 3
years ago (it was part of the software download package
for the printer), and I never could make heads or tails
of it. It's not very "user friendly", in my opinion.

There
is a piece of software called
OpenScad that is free.? With it, you
can import a .STL file (which is
what is usually provided on
Thingiverse), you can then
'subtract' cylinders (to make round
holes) and cubes (to make
rectangular holes).? Then from that
produce a new .STL file, run it
through your favorite slicer
program, then print it.

Out
of curiosity, does anyone on
this group play around with
CAD software? I found a 3D
printable box on Thingiverse
( ) that was
sized for the Bitx40 board,
but it has plain, un-drilled
front and back panels. Maybe
someone here who knows how
to use CAD software could
design a 3D printable
enclosure that has a panel
that has openings to
accommodate the Raduino
display, antenna connector,
and other controls/jacks?
I'd do it, but I don't know
how to use CAD software...
