Example of a 3D model generated using this template
(model #1131)

This template generates cases with screw-mounted lids.

In addition to the basic parameters (length, width, height), it is possible to define a cooling level on the case, the lid, or both.

Margins for the screw housing and the assembly area are also available for adjustment depending on the material used.

The case requires the use of 4 socket head cap screws (DIN 912) with a diameter of M3.

In the case of FFF 3D printing, minimal support structures will be required around the screw head recesses in the lid.

Parameters

	name	unit	label
#1	length	mm	len
#2	width	mm	wid
#3	total height	mm	Thei
#4	lid height	mm	Lhei
#5	wall thickness	mm	waT
#6	screw margin	mm	Tmrg
#7	fit clearance	mm	Imrg
#8	cooling level		cooL
#9	cooling zone(s)		cooZ

Note that parameters #1 length and #2 width refer to the external dimensions. If you are working with internal dimensions, you will need to add twice the wall thickness.

Parameter #6 screw margin adjusts the diameter of the cylinder into which the screws thread are inserted in the base. By default, its diameter is 3 mm. Depending on the material used, you will likely need to adjust this value so that the thread cuts into the material properly (not too much, not too little).

Parameter #7 fit clearance defines the gap between the two parts for assembly. At 0, both objects are modeled with no clearance at all. It is often recommended to add 0.1 to 0.2 mm for a smooth fit.

Parameter #8 cooling level determines the strength of the ventilation. At 0, no cutouts are applied. At 10, the maximum possible number of cutouts is generated.

Parameter #9 cooling zone(s) defines the location of the cutouts:

0: no cutouts
1: cutouts on the lid
2: cutouts on the enclosure
3: cutouts on both

Model search and on-demand generation

On-demand generation is available for this template. If the model does not exist, on-demand generation will be offered. Feasibility will be assessed on the on-demand generation page.

This form allows you to find existing models based on the parameters of your choice. Some parameters may intentionally not be available for search.

You can leave fields empty; they will be ignored. Also, if the results do not meet your expectations, try another search and leave one or more less important parameter(s) empty.

The results are displayed from the most relevant to the least relevant.

A star indicates that the model exactly matches your search criteria or is very close.
