post your work,
Someone like myself could give it a try or someone with more experience could probably fix it in under a minute.

Hello I'am Back.
I have a question about your enclosure .
Lid

I noted that you have a Half round indention in your body and a half round pin on your Lid.
How is this suppose to snap together, to me it looks like it is too tight.
With two sides each having a 1.571mm half round will the 3.142mm snap into place at the corners.Last edited by Roberts_Clif; 04-26-2020 at 07:55 PM.

Hi Robert,
Ah! I get it now. Yes, the extra 3.142mm wont even allow the lid to get to the mating indentation. In all honesty, I religiously followed the autodesk tutorial but unfortunately it stops short of creating the half round pins in the lid. So, I had to take a guess and ended up creating the exact mating part to the base.
What would be the recommended radius for the half round pins in the lid? Or should I remove the half round pins from the two long sides. In the end, I need the enclosure to be reasonably fitting - just enough that my lid does not come off with minimal touch/motion.
Thanks so much for all your help. I am really grateful.

If the Body above the Half round was reduced or angled a little this might allow it the snap into place.
Or
If they did not come so close to the corners.
This is the reason I used the fingers with round ends to give it flexibility.
Though it was not one of my best ideals, it been working for 2 years now.Last edited by Roberts_Clif; 04-26-2020 at 08:06 PM.

I can shave off some of the material on top the indentation and may be also shrink them away from the corners. Thanks for the tips. I will post back with updates to close this thread. In the meantime if you have any other feedback on my design, please feel free to share. Thanks again Internet stranger for your kindness and help.

I do not see the lid as being too large.

By what I see is look like the measurements really good.
The Left side has an extruded handle for easier removal
