Intro

I designed a program in FreeCAD that could be used to generate a basic box with a seal on it to house my projects. It started because I was sick of re-designing boxes every time I needed an enclosure. Over time more features made it into the box to the point where its now more than just one box. 

This version (there are others under my profile) has two hinges and two latches making it a great all rounder. There are still the shipping bolts, which allow you to ship the box somewhere without the hinges and latches installed. 

Find all the other designs based on this box under my GitHub: 

https://github.com/SGTHANKI/OpenLabBoxes/tree/main

I'll add the other versions of this design here as I upload them to printables, but the above GitHub is the best place to go for the most up to date versions.

Key Features:

  • Hinges and Latches are fully printed and only need M3 bolts to assemble. Their designs are uploaded here but are also just available separately under my profile. 
  • Optional weather seal: print in Polypropylene or TPU for best results. I tested it and got perfect waterproofing. I even left a box outside for a good while just to test. 
  • Bolt holes on corners mean you can bolt it shut if you need to mail/ship it or prevent it opening. 
  • Fully parametric: Make them whatever side you want. 
  • Open Sourced and designed in FreeCAD: Alongside the basic box I've included ones with internal compartment I designed to store bolts, its an example of what you can do with this design. 

How To Generate Your Own Custom Box

Open the provided FreeCAD design and then navigate to the “BoxVars” variable set. Inside there you can play with all the parameters but the main ones are: 

  • Box Outer Len: The length of the box
  • Box Outer W: The width of the box
  • Box Base H: The height of the base of the box

As mentioned, play with the others, I tried to use descriptive names. The ones under "No Edit" can be edited but tend to break the design so best avoid that.
