Quickbox
Quickbox creates 3D-printable housings for PCBs quickly ;)
Example
The example creates a box for my Relay PCB with:
- M3 press-fit screw inserts for the box and PCB mountings
- M3 countersunk screws for the box
- M3 cylinderhead screws for PCB mountings
const {Box} = require('quickbox');
const {TR, BR, BL, TL, CC, BC} = require('quickbox/alignment');
const {rectangle} = require('quickbox/elements');
const box = new Box({
/* All units in mm */
tolerances: {
/* 3D prints aren't perfect.
* The oversize option adds a gap at every point the 3D print
* touches any other object like jacks, PCB, ... */
oversize: 0.2
},
box: {
/* Box radius */
radius: 6,
/* Wall thickness. Make sure to select a multiple of the 3D
* printer's nozzle diameter for best printing results. */
