About

3D-FlexCase is a customizable OpenSCAD library for simple creation of electronic component housings / enclosures, such as your own PCBs, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP6288, ESP32, etc.

The idea is to parameterize the basic housing and then add your specific extensions such as brackets, lead-throughs, etc.

Requirements

BOSL Library

This project uses the BOSL library. Please install this as described here.

Screws

Recommendation for screws to fix the cover on the tray:

• 4mm x 20mm flathead Spax, or
• 4mm x 25mm flathead Spax

Installation

1. Download the .zip and extract
2. Rename directory 3d-flexcase-master to 3d-flexcase
3. Copy directory 3d-flexcase to the OpenSCAD library folder of your system
4. Restart OpenSCAD

Usage

A simple example how to use 3D-FlexCase in your OpenSCAD project:

use <3d-flexcase/FlexCase-Housing.scad>

$fn = 40;

//Customize parameters
enclosureWidth = 80;
enclusureLength = 120;
enclusureHeightTray = 30;
enclusureHeightCover = 3;
hullThickness = 2;
cornerRadius = 2;
screwDiameter = 4;

// The cover of the housing:
translate([enclosureWidth / 2 + 10, 0, enclusureHeightCover/2]) cover(enclosureWidth, enclusureLength, enclusureHeightCover, hullThickness, cornerRadius, screwDiameter);

// The tray of the housing:
translate([-enclosureWidth / 2 -10, 0, enclusureHeightTray/2]) tray(enclosureWidth, enclusureLength, enclusureHeightTray, hullThickness, cornerRadius, screwDiameter);

... will result in:

You might then want to extend, change the housing, e.g. by

• adding mounts / brackets for PCBs
• adding cable or LED lead-throughs
• etc.
