Viewers often ask me how I print cases for my projects. In this video I will show you how you can print your own boxes with a simple and free of charge method based on what I call a “Configurable Base Box.”
As usual, we will focus on how you can get the things done. It will not at all be a CAD tool training video.
In this video we will:
- Find the information to install Fusion360 and get a free of charge license for Makers
- Use my adjustable “base box” as a head-start
- Adjust this box to the right size and add some holes for power, LEDs, or other stuff
- I will also show you a trick on how I create perfect 3D printed holes
- and how I attach PCBs like an Arduino inside the box

Hi Andreas- thanks for this lighthearted and wonderfully pragmatic video. A joy to watch. I've used your previous screw boxes to date and will now migrate to this version along with learning fusion 360 :)

You regularly read my mind and interests, I'm not sure how, but thank you! I recently 'jailbroke' my DaVinci 1.0a printer so it no longer requires their own brand of filament. That has also always 'just worked' but I wanted more choice and it now runs Repetier perfectly. So your video comes at a good time as I dust off my OpenScad and FreeCad after a bit of a break. You have prompted me to try Fusion as it has gained in popularity and your points on sharing are well made. Thanks again. :-)

Thanks Andreas for your video . It's one step beyond in 3D printing for me, because I'm totally ignorant about CAD software's. I think there's a lot to learn before I start printing things designed on my own. The alternative is to search on the net what is closest to my use and modify it, but also the changes need knowledge, as you have shared with this video!

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

Brilliant. Full of sensible and helpful advice - as usual. I am rapidly becoming a Fusion360 fan, having first learned about it on one of your other videos (and struggled for years with openSCAD) - and am very happy it can send STL files directly to Simplify3D. This box template is just what I was looking for too. Thanks Andreas. And… the reamer; genius. Have ordered one from Amazon.

@AdityaMehendale 5 лет назад

Hi Andreas, I use the "Ikea" trick too, and am surely not the first - but with a difference - The LACK table in my setup is upside-down. The problem with the Prusa I3 design is that the base is not torsionally stiff. The top of the Ikea LACK is exquisitely torsionally stiff. If the LACK is upside-down, the four legs still serve as pillars for attaching "walls", "roof" and other anchor-points. It also makes the printer easily transportable. To be sure- I also have three bumpers under my lack to provide a non-overconstrained interface to the surface it stands upon. Result --> perfect first-layer each and every time. Cheers!

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

Good idea! I have no problems with the first layer (maybe also because of the auto leveling of the MK3. As you saw I use the Lack not for walls but to have more space for my filament (space became an issue here because of the many mailbags ;-) My printer sits on a solid piece of wood.

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

Thank you!

@mitchese1 5 лет назад

+1 for what others have said about freecad vs open source stuff. Freecad looks a lot like the fusion360. You may also want to look into Octoprint on a raspberry pi for your printer. It supports the common firmwares (Smoothie, Marlin, etc) - just hook your 3d printer's USB up to the raspberry pi's USB port, then you have a web interface to interact with your printer. Also, some slicers (I use slic3r) speak directly with Octoprint, which then allows you to "Slice+Upload" from the slicer software. Works great

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

My printer even has a native interface for a Rpi and Octoprint. If I have time, I will add one. But as I said, it is a tool for me. So I do not spend too much time with it if it works.

@Helli__ 5 лет назад

Very nice Video! Parametric modelling is very useful! Just define a base division as parameter and bind it to your model (e.g. 2x width, 5x height and so on). Works on leghts, angles, diameters, positions. Thats the best way to design a consistant and changeable model instead of just extruding it to size.

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

I once tried it but did not like it. I prefer visual modeling. But I know that many people love the parametric tools.

@Helli__ 5 лет назад

@@AndreasSpiess Fusion does actually a good job combining direct and parametric modeling which is easy to use, like we see on your box model.

@dphillips9641 5 лет назад

Great video as usual. I think you could use midpoint constraints to keep the holes on centre instead of referencing the width/length parameters but I guess your way allows people to offset the hole position if required.

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

You are right. But then I would not have been able to show you the feature with the parameters in the dimensions ;-)

@Ed19601 3 года назад

I am using FreeCAD and created a universal box as well. FreeCAD, like Fusion 360 has a possibility to enter the parameters in a spreadsheet so, like you show in your video, changing the size is very easy as well. Also not using screws, just tightly fitting lids

@AndreasSpiess 3 года назад

I think this is a vey time-saving idea in whatever tool you create them.

@mdrehan4all 3 года назад

Great work

@AndreasSpiess 3 года назад

@connecticutaggie 5 лет назад

I use the same technique to get perfectly round holes; but, I just use a standard twist drill to get final size to finish the hole. One important point is to make sure the "wall thickness" parameter in the slicer is set thick enough to accommodate the drill operation and not penetrate into the infill. Also, I don't use as much difference, I typically only make it 0.2mm smaller and a will thickness of 0.8mm. This is may vary with the printer. If the hole has to carry a thread, I would increase the wall thickness.

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

You are right with the thread. So far I never tried that in walls. I always create posts for screws. I did not find issues hitting the infill during the hole extension. It is covered by the parts which I mount. Totally different if you do not want to mount something!

For print adhesion have you tried glue stick? Since it is water soluble, it is a lot easier to cleanup and also I didn't like the smell of the hairspray or the residue the spray leaves. Also I have a small water spray (mist) bottle that I use to refresh the glue stick before each print (I don't clean the bed every time). The purple Elmer's is nice because it is purple when it is wet so it is easy to see the coverage. Also, IMHO the extra thickness of the glue stick helps to compensate from imperfectly level bed.

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

No, I did not try glue stick for a few years. The hairspray is ok for me (if you do the coating outside the lab as I also do not like the smell). It is done very fast and I do it just from time-to-time. I am even not sure if it is still necessary with the new Prusa.

If you can't buy yet, learn designing on openScad, freecad, or others and import into Cura to learn slicing. Learn about different materials and temperatures. You will need to know all this after you buy any way. These will look like old dot matrix printers in the future, hoky. Color, multi-head is only starting. 3d printing is slow, taking hours. Key is anchoring your project to the bed.

OPENSCAD is really good for technical people, because you stay in programming and maths.

I recommend Tinkercad from Autodesk. It’s much easier and web browser based

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

I do not know it. But with my model, it is not very difficult to create a decent box, even in Autocad.

Great video. Love it. What kind of black 9V socket do you use at 10:21 ? Thanks Andreas!

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

I ordered them a long time ago at AliExress

@Andreas Spiess Slightly off topic but I noticed your bench meter, I am looking for a bench meter (I have a couple good multimeters if I need accuracy) but if I'm doing measurements over time multimeters are annoying when they turn off etc. What do you think of that particular unit? Cheers

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

It is a Uni-T 804

@Andreas Spiess Why Knob in Top part has fixed height 6mm but grove for it (Extrude3) has calculated height shell*2?

@AndreasSpiess 3 года назад

I do no more remember. Maybe it is a mistake and you can correct it if it creates problems.

I use OctoPrint to control my printer (Mk2s) and Slic3r Prusa Edition for slicing and easy gcode transfer to the printer. It can upload directly to OctoPrint and start printing when it's done heating. And my home automation system automaticly turns off the printer when it's done printing but thats a story for another time :-)

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

Exactly! The Mk3 already has a connector for the Rpi and a zero is waiting in its box...

@webflue 5 лет назад

I also do the same. If the printer has finished and hasn't started again after a a set number of mins then it powers off. Good for those prints that takes a while and you don't want to see if it's finished. I also use pushbullet to notify me when completed and tasker on the phone to say it out loud. All controlled via Home Assistant.

Many thanks for the great video. Could you save the template file also as a STEP and/or SolidWorks file in your github repo (for import in other CAD programs)?

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

I put it on Github that anybody can contribute similar box designs for other CAD tools. I have no possibility to create any other format.

@konstantinkrumov8726 4 года назад

Thank you for the useful video, love your channel !!! What type of material is used by the 3D printer ?

@AndreasSpiess 4 года назад

Mostly PLA. Sometimes ABS

@konstantinkrumov8726 4 года назад

@@AndreasSpiess Do you see issues on the final product with PLA ? Does it deform overtime ?

@AndreasSpiess 4 года назад

I mainly print boxes and other not so critical stuff. So I had no problems.

@jlegen 5 лет назад

nice box template, thanks for sharing! However, there seems to be some sort of bug in the "parametric" section of the top cover - only one of the two holes can be deleted, the attempt to delete the 2nd hole returns a warning (being a fusion360 noob, though... :)

@AndreasSpiess 5 лет назад

If you want to delete both holes you also have to delete the "extrusion" which comes with it.
