3D Enclosure Design
make a 3d model for enclosure for this project
Thought for 10 sec
I’ll inspect the PCB and connector geometry, create a manufacturable enclosure concept and CAD model, then verify board fit and access openings.
Thought for 19 sec
I’m measuring the finished board now so the enclosure proposal is based on the actual outline, controls, connectors, and assembly clearances.
Thought for 37 sec
I measured a 64 × 54 × 1.3 mm board with four exposed Cherry MX keys, a large e-paper display, four indicator LEDs, BAT1 terminal block, BAT2 battery header, and PROG header; there are no dedicated mounting holes.
Proposed enclosure: FDM-printed PETG, two-piece desktop shell with a screw-fastened bottom, edge-captured PCB, top openings for the four keycaps and display, LED light windows, and internal access to PROG. Please confirm these remaining choices:
- Is this a desktop/handheld indoor device?
- Should BAT1, BAT2, or both be externally accessible—and what battery dimensions must fit inside?
- Should the e-paper display be behind a clear protective window or directly exposed?
- Accept PETG with M2.5 screws, or specify your printer/material and preferred closure?
Once confirmed, I’ll generate the enclosure concept image for approval before creating the CAD model.
