i can read on cats face "WHEN YOU WILL MAKE A BOX FOR ME?"

Literally someone just gave me the task of designing a box for some electronics like two days ago. Life saver

Fun fact: most if not all of the breadboards with the power and ground rails have a rectangle of adhesive material on the bottom. If you cut a corner of that adhesive rectangle off, you can solder the battery to the rails from the bottom side.

Background cat is awesome! 😊

Back in the day, all we had were a small selection of "Project Boxes" at Radio Shack. But, the board wasn't displayed on top; it went inside. The controls, ports, etc. were mounted on the top and sides by individually drilling holes.

I really like the modular/adjustable approach!

Starting with the box first always worked well for me. Also drop the 'smallest' requirement when doing pcbs - makes your life way easier.

the cat is so obedient lol

I have done something similar with FreeCAD, creating a scalable box for FR4 perfboards. I settled on M2 screws in recesses that go from the bottom, through the board, and into brass heat inserts on the top half of the "clam." Once this base box is done, it is relatively simple to place holes and slots on the top and sides for the interface components.

Simple and adaptable design, I like it! 😃

Thank you for sharing your design concepts and constraints, this is precious! I too spent quite a while designing boxes for my components, but I have different constraints, such as hole for OLED screens, repositioning of the switches or DIP switches on the enclosure itself, LED fields, placement for motors (including servomotors that need to be locked in place with very precise dimension), placement for external circuits (such as MPU6050 that has to be on a reference surface). I like a lot you're bringing solutions that can be addedto a design as a known-good working design and proven to work over time, thank you again.

I've been struggling with cases for my circuits too! I'm glad you're sharing this with all of us, hoping to adapt the design to 18650 batteries too, since I usually use those, but I'll look into the coin cell rechargeable too, I've never heard of it, thanks!! 10/10 btw

Great design! Subscribed! One nitpick though is that click lock will not last long thanks to material creep. It's satisfying for now but give it a week or two and it will be loose. Speaking based from experience.

This is pretty cool. I would print it in ABS since that's what Lego are made from and they're nigh indestructible. I've got 30 year old Lego that are still as good as when they were new and still hurt plenty if you step on them.

thanks mate its very useful

Thanks!

Nice, this looks like a great design! Also, I had no idea rechargeable coin cells were a thing. Whoa!

every video you make is incredible!!! 3d sage going STRONG as ever! one question tho, will you show us how ya made the cute console¿?

thanks, it gives me an inspiration

Cool!

thanks for including cat

Nice one, thanks! Would you be willing to also include a top cover that would slide or click into place? For those circuits to be protected all around while stuck under / behind other things.

This is perfect and genius

i love cats and pcbs subscribed ❤

Very nice! And I love your kitty! What's it's name, if you don't mind me asking?

most of my experience with electronics is with FPGAs. I wish I had more experience with actually building circuits, especially PCBs.

Nifty!

i did not care about the video, but i loved THE C A T

I only watched the cat 😸

4:00 Me when light mode.

Awesome Idea, one question. What type of plastic did you use? PLA, PLA+, PETG, or up to ABS? Thank you for the video.

Thanks for the well thought out design and the idea to use those batteries. I see your files are all STL, Fusion does work with STL files but very poorly and TinkerCAD works really well with them but is painful to use as a design programme. I haven’t tried Onshape. What CAD do you use?

Hello, i really like your videos and how you explain. I am verry intersted by 3D graphics, so would you make a quake tutorial like for doom and raycasting ? Thank you for reading my comment.

Why are rechargable 2032's 3.7 volts when standard 2032 are 3v?

bro when are you gonna follow up on the doom tutorials?

Very nice, do you have a link to the battery holders you used?

what 3d modeling software do you use ?

real

I want to put a Princess Celestia (My Little Pony) Soundchip in a squeezable cover.

Why hello fellow 3ds Max user

What 3d cad dou you use

Did you just make a real retro gadget without a front cover or multitool Connector?

Bro please please please please 🥺🥺🥺 Tell me how you learned electronics and how I can as hobby

pwease boopz da kibtty for me

Bof, the rear cover bulges, as the side where it is entering... Not refined enough
