So, let's start with the basic shape for our box. The example above will make a box that is 29mm x 29mm x 14mm (with the lid on) on the outside, and 25 x 25 x 10 on the inside. if the X dimension is 20mm, and T is 2mm, then the width of the box will be 24mm (20 + 2 + 2). If you're just interested in the exact OpenSCAD file itself, forward to the last step and download the final step file. The outside dimensions of the box will be the inside dimensions + 2 x T. It should be fairly simple to turn it in to a fully rounded box or add a few more non-rounded sides to it. Understanding the steps will probably help you to make your own custom design along the way.
#Openscad box how to
This instructable shows you how to develop this box step by step. The OpenSCAD language is simple and concise, it took me half a day to get familiar with the basic concepts and another half day to turn our design into a fully parameterized model. So finally, we came to explore OpenSCAD, a free & open source tool which allows you create STL files for 3D printing and 3D models in general programmatically. There is no way to get the bounding box limits of an object with OpenSCAD codes. We initially used 123D for the creation of the STL files for 3D printing, but found this solution way to inflexible ( here's the full reasoning).
Chapter 5: Using multiple scripts and libraries. Chapter 4: Introducing modules to organize the code.
Chapter 3: Resizing models and more ways of combining objects. Chapter 2: Scaling the model and first steps for parameterizing models. Figure 5. Chapter 1: A few words about OpenSCAD and getting started with the first object. The content of points will then be output in the console window of OpenSCAD. At hybrislabs, we've explored IoT quite a lot and at some point our prototypes became so small and integrated, that we had the need to create custom boxes for these. If you want to have a look at the generated array, you can insert the OpenSCAD command echo ( points ) below (e.g.) the definition of points and run a preview ( F5 ).
