This is a set of OpenSCAD modules and functions to generate boxes that can be attached to each other with snap-fit connectors.
I started doing this as I wanted to build a small and inexpensive live stream controller as a fun project, and then my imagination went wild. I thought of something which, unlike some IoT-oriented projects around (see M5Stack or Seeed Wio Terminal for instance), extends sideways and would eventually form a row of chain-linked components (touch screen, potentiometers, sliders, ...). This repository contains the OpenSCAD files that I wrote to generate boxes and box stands for this purpose.
This is how it may look (generated with example file box_modular.scad, rendered with Blender):
The same, but moving:
You'll find the OpenSCAD files in modbox folder. I've split the project in low-level (toolbox.scad) and high-level (box_parts.scad) functions and modules. Both are needed to generate complete boxes.
Please check the files in docs folder. This documentation is also included within the .scad files. The Markdown files have been generated with openscad-docsgen.
Copy toolbox.scad and box_parts.scad in your OpenSCAD libraries folder. You can also copy them under a subfolder, in which case you'll have to update the include or use directives accordingly.
Check the examples folder for applications.
