I was hoping someone would have done this already! Couple of questions: Have you tried putting threaded heat set inserts into the holes and are there any issues with tolerance of position? Secondly, countersinking the lid holes - would this just be a matter of using cones/tapered cylinders rather than straight cylinders? Thanks!
I like your video. I wonder if you are willing to share the scad file you wote to create it as it would save a lot of fumbling around. I'd like to make some custom enclosures for projects based on the Microchip DM182026 I'll add an opening for the USB connector and a header I will include in the project. I'll also add a platform/spacer to hold the board above the bottom. Perhaps add a hole for a transparent window to the lid (so the power LED is visible).
I have a question: Could you please describe what the posts() command does in detail? I really need it for my OpenSCAD presentaion and it would hep me alot. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for watching! You just comment out the sections you don’t want to export. If you want to get fancy you can also create if statements that turn off certain items from being created if you change their value to false. But for most situations, just commenting out the parts you don’t want exported works great.
@@BaldGuyDIY Thanks for the quick answer. I will try it out. :) I also found another possiblity: in FreeCAD there is a Workbench called openSCAD, where you can copy and paste the entire openSCAD code. From there, individual objects can be exported, too. I think the FreeCAD solution might be another possiblity in case your proposed solution doesn't work. It's always good to have multiple options, I guess. :)
Brilliant job, trying to learn SCAD and this has just shown me the power of it will just one module, love it and thanks for sharing.
yes! great explanation and example for SCad. Thank you so much for sharing.

this is excellent! i just started openscad and found your work most helpful!
This would be a great tutorial if the code had been provided like on github or pastebin or something
I'm just getting started with this. I'd like to make holes that have a recess for the screw head and a smaller hole for the screw shaft.
Exactly what I needed. Thanks a lot
Awesome job. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching!
I'll use this for my enclosures from now on. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!!
Hello, tried to get this typed in and could not get rid of all the errors, is there any way you could send me the scad fill?
I like your video.

Thanks. This is gonna help out big time. I do wonder though.. is it possible to put holes in the side of the walls for cables and such?
Definitely, openscad is super versatile! Thanks for watching.
Awesome, very powerful
That is a very useful box. I need such for Arduino/ESP32 projects. Where are the OpenScad files located?
Wow thanks for the video! This is going to be awesome for making Arduino project boxes.
Thanks for watching. Hope they turn out great for you!
This is very good!
Great tutorial, could you post a link to the scad file please?
Thanks for watching! I’ll send the file if you send me an email: brandon@baldguydiy.com.

Great! Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! How do you export the separate parts as separate files?
