   Big fan of Cadquery! I used it to generate circuit board enclosures in an old project of mine[1]. Once you have it set up it is much nicer to use than Openscad and you have the ability to export STEP files, which is pretty huge. I haven&#x2

   Yeah fair enough. You can get SLA parts electroplated, although it will still be more matte than glossy unless they are polished, which would increase the price, and it would probably be cheaper to just do the brass casting option at that

   For the side wall mounting holes it is pretty simple, it just looks for the outline of the PCBA you are making an enclosure for, and then makes sets of holes spaced evenly, offset from the outline. I'm planning on making that a lot mor

   Hey HN! This is a website I made for generating simple prototype enclosures for circuit boards. In a previous job I often had to make a lot of simple prototype enclosures for different projects, and I felt like the process should be a littl
