Custom Enclosure Design for IoT IsoOk Zigbee PCB (STP & KiCad Files) – 3D Printing / CNC Production
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
Custom Enclosure Design for IoT IsoOk Zigbee PCB (STP & KiCad Files) – 3D Printing / CNC Production.
? Project Objectives:
✔ Design a perfect enclosure based on the STEP file of the PCB and KiCad project.
✔ Optimize the STL model for reliable printing on the 3d stamp.
✔ Create a durable, well-ventilated box with cutouts for connectors and an easy-to-use closure system.
✔ Generate files for both 3D printing (STL) and CNC manufacturing (STEP/IGES).
? Available Files:
✅ STEP file of the IsoOk PCB (exact geometry with components).
✅ KiCad PCB design files (to verify dimensions and connector placement).
✅ Complete list of connectors and supported sensors.
1- Technical Requirements for the Enclosure
? The enclosure must include:
✅ Compatible with 3D printing materials (PLA, ABS, PETG, ASA, Nylon).
✅ Wall thickness of at least 1.2 mm for mechanical strength.
✅ Mounting holes for:
Sensor connectors (JST, terminal block, USB-C).
Power cable (12V/24V DC or USB-C).
External Zigbee SMA antenna.
✅ Simple closure system (screws or snap-fit).
✅ Wall-mounting or industrial machine attachment points.
✅ Ventilation openings for heat dissipation.
2- Optimizations for 3D Printing
? To ensure a high-quality print, the STL model should be optimized as follows:
✅ Enclosure Structure
✔ Wall thickness ≥ 1.2 mm for durability.
✔ Rounded edges to reduce mechanical stress and improve durability.
✔ Assembly tolerances of 0.2 mm to avoid excessive tightness on the PCB.
✅ Support and Hole Placement
✔ Tapered screw holes to facilitate mounting and improve resistance.
✔ Internal supports to secure the PCB, leaving 0.5 mm of clearance for easy insertion.
✔ Connector cutouts for sensors and power cables, ensuring accessibility.
✅ Heat Dissipation Considerations
✔ Ventilation grids on the sides to prevent overheating.
✔ Dedicated cutout for the SMA Zigbee antenna to improve connectivity.
3 Required Deliverables from the Designer
? The designer must provide:
✔ Optimized STL file for 3D printing .
