Enclosure (project box)
A shelled base and a matching lid, sized to your electronics.
The enclosure generator builds a small assembly, not one primitive: an open-top shelled base — optionally with four corner screw bosses and pilot holes — plus a separate lid with matching clearance holes. An inset lid adds a lip that seats inside the walls; a flat lid is a plain plate. Everything is made from ordinary primitives and booleans, so every part re-opens in the property panel and stays parametric. The lid is laid out next to the base so both print flat. Every generator stays live: re-open it in the property panel to change its parameters at any time, and the assembly rebuilds. When you want to hand-tweak one body, use Bake to editable parts to convert the generator into plain primitives — that makes the individual parts editable but the generator’s parameters can no longer be changed. (Documents opened from before generators became live keep any previously-generated parts as plain nodes; only newly inserted generators are live.)
- Open the Generate panel from the left sidebar and choose Enclosure (under Enclosures).
- The base and lid drop in beside each other as editable parts. The parameters open in the Properties panel, where you set them.
- Set the outer width, depth, height, and wall thickness.
- Turn on corner screw bosses and pick a lid style — flat, or an inset lip that drops inside the walls.
