Easy Enclosure

I came across this project a while back, and have been having it open in a tab on my computer for a while just so I don’t lose it.

Since there are a lot of building building different custom things here, I though I’d pass it along.

It’s a site that let’s you enter some dimensions and parameters and generates a custom enclosure for you.

I haven’t actually used it for anything personally yet, but looks useful.

That looks pretty neat! Would be awesome if you could slide a model from grabcad to it and it just auto make everything. But I think that’s big wishful thinking lol. Still looks like an easy way to make something simple! Thanks for sharing!

Whoa that is pretty slick.

Just bookmarked that- it looks super useful. Thanks for sharing it.

Looks like a nice start. If it produces a base .STL that I can modify in Fusion (Or Tinkercad) if weird things are needed to add to an enclosure it would be a great start

Just to follow up, I never had a chance to actually use this for anything, but have a case where I need it now.

I noticed this Issue on github where people were saying the boxes were not being generated correctly.

I’m not real sure yet whether the original author is still maintaining the tool, but I submitted a PR to fix some of it.

Results are published here Easy Enclosure if anyone is looking to try it.

I would definitely just print a corner piece or something and test the fit first, regardless of whether you use the original version or my fixed version.

I have not had a chance to test it yet other than overlaying the generated STLs in Blender

PR has been merged, so no need to use my fork. I will take it down.
