I was in need of an enclosure for a Velleman Super Stereo Ear (actually four of them), so I took the occasion to improve my skills in Freecad a little bit.
I first modelled the pcb as is, then I enlarged some key geometry to have some clearance in the finished enclosure. Secondly I modelled the box as a single piece and subtracted the enlarged pcb model.
I finally made the two halves of the enclosure by modelling a cutting volume and made a cut to get the upper half, and an intersection to get the lower half.
The 3d printed results were a bit too tight and need some work to fit together, so I modelled a second cutting volume, adding some clearance.
I'm not sure if it is the proper workflow, please let me know !
Ciao

Re: Enclosure for Velleman Super Stero Ear
At first glance, I thought you are modeling for injection molding!
