About this print
A customisable waterproof box that can be configured to different sizes using a parametric design tool, making it adaptable for a range of small storage applications. A separately printable TPU sealing ring is included for those wanting a fully printed waterproof closure. The box suits storing electronics components, hardware or other items that need protection from moisture. PETG is a practical material choice, providing solid rigidity alongside decent moisture resistance.

### Version 1.2 (2025-03-12)
* Added TPU inset print option
* fixed some bugs
* updated description
Well, it has been some years already that this box model is online, and that people seem to like and use it. Always happy as a designer to see that happen.
Recently, a reader suggested to add an option for a (TPU) inset model so that the oddly shaped isolation rubber for the "ditch" could be self-printed. I absolutely see this as a great idea and added it.
There are now two more Customizer parameters:
1. **TPU inset**: Setting this to non-zero adds the model for the rectangular "ring" meant to be printed with TPU/TPE/soft material. The parameter sets the height for this inset, and at the same time reduces the wall height on the main box model for the same amount.
2. **TPU inset X/Y reduction**: Setting this parameter to non-zero reduces the width of the TPU model so that it can be installed easier into the ditch.
### Version 1.1 (2016-08-21)
* added customizer tags and made it customizable
* added screw holes (either 2 or 4)
* fixed some bugs
* updated description
### Version 1
This is my OpenSCAD universal case box for electronics. It comes with round corners, mounting noses, easy dimension settings and a lid that closes the box waterproof if applied with some sealant (hot glue or -less permanent- bicycle mouting grease).
Note that the standard plastics (ABS, PLA, PETG, Nylon) degrade in UV light. Do not expose the box to direct sunlight.
**A note on the cable holes:** customizer allows you to view the source code. Press the "View Code" button next to the "Create Thing" button. Then, find the section commented with

There, you can remove the two already there and add your own.
