About enclosure-designer

A design skill for enclosures around Arduino, ESP32, and Pico-class boards, covering dimensions, cutouts, mounting, and print protection. It provides an OpenSCAD template, a generator script, and reference material organized by design task.

Key features

  1. 01Gather board, component, and environment dimensions
  2. 02Provide an OpenSCAD starter template
  3. 03Generate enclosures with a script
  4. 04Reference common board and module dimensions
  5. 05Check clearances, mounts, and print conditions

Use cases

  1. 01Design a case for an Arduino or ESP32
  2. 02Plan connector cutouts and mounting holes
  3. 03Assess ventilation and moisture requirements

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

Enclosure Designer

Use this skill to design practical enclosures without loading a full mechanical guide up front.

Resources

  • assets/basic-template.scad - starting OpenSCAD template
  • scripts/generate_enclosure.py - enclosure generator script
  • references/design-workflow.md - measurement, parameter, and generator workflow
  • references/dimensions.md - common board and module dimensions
  • references/print-and-protection.md - wall thickness, print settings, ventilation, and waterproofing

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • an enclosure, case, box, or housing
  • mounting holes or cutout placement
  • OpenSCAD-based enclosure generation
  • board fit checks for Arduino, ESP32, or Pico-class boards
  • print-material or weather-resistance guidance

Workflow

  1. Gather the minimum physical inputs:
    • board dimensions
    • tallest component
    • connector locations
    • mounting method
    • environmental constraints
  2. Open references/design-workflow.md for the parameterization flow.
  3. Open references/dimensions.md if the user does not already have exact measurements.
  4. Open references/print-and-protection.md for material, wall, ventilation, or moisture guidance.
  5. Use assets/basic-template.scad or scripts/generate_enclosure.py when the user needs a concrete starting model.

Core Rules

  • Treat user measurements as authoritative over reference dimensions.
  • Add clearance deliberately for connectors, wiring, and print tolerance.
  • Separate fit problems from printability problems.
  • Do not promise waterproofing from geometry alone.

Verification

  • The board and connectors fit with explicit clearance.
  • Mounting points and cable exits are reachable.
  • The selected material and wall thickness match the use environment.
  • Print orientation and support strategy are named before finalizing the design.

Integration

  • Pair with battery-selector or power-budget-calculator if battery size drives the enclosure volume.
  • Pair with readme-generator when the enclosure should be documented for a project repo.
