Simple Box with Lid for 3D-Print

Sometimes, all what you need is a simple box with lid for your gift or to store your cookies. I designed one of this very simple but functional boxes, perfectly optimised for 3D printing.

The design has 4mm thick walls, which make it very robust and it will look great if you print it with transparent or translucent filament and a special infill.

The License of the Sets in the Shop

You get these files in the shop under a different license. You will find the full text in the “license.txt” file inside of the package and linked in the shop. Basically, it consists of three parts:

  • You can use the files personally to do everything you like to print the boxes and grids.
  • You may use the prints (not the files) commercially. E.g. you can sell the printed boxes if you like.
  • You must not make me liable if these model files destroyed your printer or similar. 😄

Free Updates

Additionally, if you buy one of the sets, I will send you updates or extensions of a set for free.

Photos of a Real Print

The box in the following images was made on a Prusa i3 MK3s printer, using Prusament PETG Transparent, with 0.2mm layer height with the default slicer profile “0.2mm quality”.

Print Instructions

For each size, there is a pair of STL files. All file names start with the project number, LR2061 followed by the size SSHH where S stands for the approximate inside width and depth and H for the inside height in cm. After this, you find the part number. 1 for the body and 2 for the lid.

Print these parts in the orientation shown in the following images:

  • body
  • lid

For best results, use the following settings:

  • Filament: PETG or PLA
  • Nozzle: 0.4mm
  • Layer Height: 0.2mm or lower.

Conclusion

I hope you find this boxes useful and these well prepared models will save you some time. 😄

      How to design and 3D print snap-on enclosures

      If you are a product designer or engineer, at some point you may need a custom enclosure design. This could be a simple container to organize small items, or a fully working 3D printed prototype for demonstration to interested parties or testing before moving on to injection molding. nine0003

      Using CAD software and desktop 3D printers, you can create an enclosure with interlocking latches in just five easy steps.

      Technical report

      How do I create custom-made enclosures with exact dimensions? Learn more about stereolithographic 3D printing by reading our free white paper Introducing Desktop 3D Printing with Stereolithography.

      Measure your electronic component (left). Begin your 3D model with basic boxes (right). nine0003

      Measure electronic components (left). Start building your 3D model with the standard boxes (right).

      In this project, we will create a case for a Pine 64 single board computer (download the STL file from the Pinshape website to repeat the steps on your hardware). In this article, we're using SolidWorks, a popular design and development software, but you can use a similar 3D design software.

      First take a digital caliper or ruler and measure the electronic components. We like to start case design by accurately reverse engineering the PCB, determining its dimensions, mounting hole locations, and any connectors or plugs that will need to be accessed through the case. You might want to just measure the maximum box dimensions, but it's important to know exactly where the main components are so they can be placed correctly. Reproduce these measurements in SolidWorks by laying out the boxes in a single model file. nine0003

      In SolidWorks, an enclosure is best designed as an assembly model, designing the halves as separate parts. Create a new part that will be the base of the body. The first important decision to make is to determine how much distance is allowed between the PCB perimeter and the package. It depends on the 3D printing technology you are going to use. 3D printers based on SLA and SLS technologies are highly accurate, so you can safely set a tolerance of 0.5 mm. nine0003

      Desktop 3D printer based on FDM technology can deform your structure and lift it off the platform, so you need to allow for a higher tolerance of 1.5-2 mm. This will guarantee the placement of the printed circuit board in the case, even if its walls are slightly deformed.

      Check out our detailed guide comparing FDM vs. SLA 3D printers to see how they differ in terms of print quality, materials, application, workflow, speed, cost, and more.

      Leave a space between the edges of the electronic component and the housing (left). Create the walls of the bottom of the hull in the 3D model (right).

      Next, you need to make holes for the connectors. One common mistake is to cut a hole just large enough to access the connector, be it USB or HDMI, without considering that the many cables around the plug connector can be quite bulky and have to be inserted into the case to connect to the connector (especially if the connector is on a printed circuit board). board is at a greater distance from the case). Therefore, it is better to make larger holes for connectors. You can add from 2 mm around the perimeter. nine0003

      Add cutouts and holes to the bottom of the housing for the connectors.

      As you can see in the image above, we've included cutouts that go all the way to the top of the part and one hole for a Micro SD card. Some of the cutouts reach the top of the part because the connectors on the PCB protrude beyond the edges of the part, otherwise the board would be very difficult to fit into the case. Some of these cutouts will be covered by the top half of the case, but you can make the bottom half larger to accommodate the entire PCB and connectors. Just keep in mind that you will have to insert the connecting cables deep into the case. nine0003

      As a rule, the shape of the upper part of the case mirrors the shape of the lower half.

      If you have finished designing the bottom part, you will have no problems with the top one. The image above shows the effect of a decoupling line running along the perimeter between the two body halves. The top of the case should have similar cutouts for tall connectors, and more material where it meets some of the cutouts in the bottom half. In addition, we have added an additional recessed part in the middle. nine0003

      The standard internal cantilever latch allows the lock to be extended for a stronger hold.

      From a variety of snap-on component designs, we settled on a standard internal cantilever connection. The image above shows the main parts for the interlock, absolutely identical on both halves of the housing (male and female components). Depending on the working space available, the small protrusion inserted into the lock cavity can be lengthened to improve grip. In our model, its length is only 1.2 mm, but with a length of 2 mm, the lock would be much more secure. In this particular design, the pins on the PCB take up a lot of space, so the lock is designed to simply push in while still providing enough force to secure the case. The console connection has a 20 mm protrusion, which increases its reliability. nine0003

      This sectional view shows details of the lock on both sides.

      The illustration above shows the components of the locking joint and the location of the pins (in black) on the PCB that limit the size of the cantilever joint. Instead of placing the snap-on elements inside the lower housing, it is also possible to place the protrusions in the through holes, which will increase their length.

      The tabs are small protrusions that are inserted into the opposite side of the case, fixing both halves. nine0003

      Add petals to your design to keep the halves from slipping. Petals are small protrusions that are inserted into the opposite part of the body. Since we have created two interlocks on opposite parts, they will only be needed on the two sides where there are no interlocks. This case is large, so we put them in every corner. The material protrudes only 3mm, but that's enough to prevent movement of the 3D printed parts that have been bonded. nine0003

      This standard lockable housing can be adapted to almost any small electronic component.

      While this may be enough for your project, a few extra details will help bring your 3D case to life. We added indented text to this project for the Pine 64 name and details such as the SD card slot. We added the Pine 64 logo not only for beauty, but also for ventilation, as these boards can get hot. In addition, these parts save material used for 3D printing.
