I too did this following tutorials and Printer this Snap together case.
New Case Layout.jpg
I created both parts and using Fusion 360 these part are created in the same layout though they are separate from one another.
I can use one model to help me shape the other model. thereby allowing me to size and correctly postilion parts.
I designed my Case from known specs like per-positioned standoffs and size of circuit PCB.
Then I searched many tutorials to learn how to accomplish each and every single step of the process until completion.

I should have added the Fan Screw Holes, As you can see on this case I drilled them incorrectly.Last edited by Roberts_Clif; 04-26-2020 at 08:55 AM.

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

Body

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 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
Please explain to me how to...
