3D Printing

Project Boxes of Various Sizes

Injection molded project boxes are great for high quality stuff, but 3D printed boxes give you more choices of size and you can print them on demand with the holes you need pre-cut already.

For example, if you have a larger printer you can print out the box needed with the holes pre-cut to make the temperature process controller box seen in the main photo. Build instructions for that can be found here: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Automate-ANY-Temperature-Controlled-Process/

(FYI the box shown in the main photo was NOT 3d printed).

Dimensions provided are all exterior to the box with the lid off. All box walls are 3/16″ thick. 4 screws will be needed to secure the lid in place but the lid is sized to be a snap fit.

I recommend printing with 2 perimeters at 30% infill minimum.

If you don’t see the size you need you can always pick the closest size box and scale it a bit, but not too much. I’ve found the 3/16″ wall thickness to be ideal for 3D printed boxes.

I’ve also provided the source file for one box in ‘Cubify Design’ software format.
