I have a finished PCB and I need a proper enclosure designed around it by someone who has done industrial enclosures before. The board is 70 x 30 x 1.6 mm with all components on the top face. An RJ45 jack sits at each short end, 10.9 mm tall, overhanging the board edge by 1.6 mm. There are 4 mounting holes of 2.2 mm on a 24 x 64 mm pattern. A 4 way DIP switch, 7 mm tall, sits at one long edge with its actuators facing up. A small sensor sits at the dead centre of the board, with an RGB LED 5 mm from it and a green LED at the opposite edge. The full STEP file of the board with every component goes to whoever wins the job. The case is a two part shell, roughly 80 x 36 x 20 mm, printed in PETG on a Bambu FDM machine, and it has to solve three problems. First, the sensor at the center has to read the air outside the case while the electronics at both ends are heating the inside of it. Venting and internal baffles, and it has to work with the unit mounted either way round. This is the real design work and it is what I will judge the bids on. Second, everything stays reachable once the case is closed. The DIP switch needs a slot it can be set through with a pen tip. The RGB LED needs a diffused window so it glows instead of beaming,. Both RJ45 openings need clearance for the plug latch and the cable boot, plus strain relief so the leads do not pull on the jacks. Third, it has to look like a real product and not a printed prototype. Clean industrial lines. It mounts onto perforated sheet metal with zip tie slots and clips, and the board is held on M2 bosses or heat set inserts so nothing moves. I need the native parametric CAD file and a STEP export as the master. For printing, send either a Bambu Studio 3MF project with your print setup baked in, or an STL plus a written note telling me the orientation, whether you expect supports, and any settings that matter. Bid only if you have designed enclosures that were actually manufactured, and show me two of them in your bid.

@Kenchekarthik

I am a Mechanical and Robotics Engineer specializing in product design, 3D printing, and design-for-manufacturing using SolidWorks. I have extensive experience designing functional enclosures and mechanical assemblies optimized specifically for FDM printing, considering wall thickness, tolerances, clearances, support minimization, part orientation, and assembly requirements from the initial design stage. I am proficient with slicing software including Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, and Cura, allowing me to optimize print orientation, support strategies, layer height, infill, strength, surface finish, and print time for reliable production-quality parts. My workflow ensures that every enclosure is not only visually appealing but also practical to manufacture, assemble, and maintain. I can provide fully parametric CAD files, STEP exports, and print-ready 3MF or STL files with complete printing recommendations, delivering a professional enclosure that performs like a manufactured product rather than a prototype.

With over 50 projects under my belt, I have the hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge of Design for Manufacturing you need for this job. My designs are always optimized for efficient production and I place a strong emphasis on reducing complexity and cost wherever possible. This will not only ensure your enclosure meets engineering tolerances and daily performance needs, but it will also be easily manufacturable in robust quantities. My strong balance between creative industrial design and meticulous mechanical precision is a vital asset for your endeavor. While meeting your specific requirements like venting issues and reachability, I integrate aesthetics with structural strength – as per my approach to not just design good looking products but those that actually work. Lastly, my proficiency in SolidWorks and FEA shall deliver the native parametric CAD file you require. Plus including a written note sharing the specifics of printing orientation, supports among other things. I am not here just to 'model' but to engineer any designs required which really sets me apart. Collaborating with me ensures a keen eye on quality so rest assured! You can rely on me to present you with a design that both delights and performs. Let's build something functional, optimized, cost-effective together!

My name is Danijel, and I have not just designed enclosures like the one you need, but I've actually seen them through the manufacturing process. In my eight years of professional experience, I have helped numerous clients bring their products to market by creating functional, manufacturable designs, hitting cost targets, and ensuring high-quality results. Regarding your specific project, I can assure you that I understand the unique challenges it presents. Reading your description made me truly excited about the design puzzle your project offers - from ensuring the air venting won't be affected by the heating of electronics to creating accessible slots for various components while maintaining a sleek industrial look. As a mechanical engineer well-versed in designing for manufacturing (DFM), my designs can be manufactured with ease and efficiency- an absolute necessity for this job. My command over parametric CAD modeling (SolidWorks primarily) will guarantee a native file you could easily work on in the future while my in-depth understanding of different additive manufacturing techniques will provide you with 3D files optimized specifically for your Bambu FDM machine. So if you're looking for a seasoned engineer who respects deadline and believes in keeping clients informed on progress every step of the way, look no further. Together we can solve your enclosure challenge with practical yet innovative solutions that'll meet your expectations and more.

As a highly experienced and skilled industrial designer, I am confident in my ability to deliver your project with precision and attention to detail it requires. I have expertise in DFM (Design for Manufacturing) which ensures that the design of a product isn't just aesthetically pleasing but is also optimized for efficient and cost-effective manufacturing. I can put this skill to use in not just designing the enclosure for your PCB but also ensure that it is actually manufacturable. Moreover, I'm quite familiar with the fabrication process involving 3D printing in materials like PETG on Bambu FDM machines. Having hands-on experience with such technology, I can guarantee you with best 3D printing models and technical drawings compatible with your selected material. Furthermore, I will deliver not just an STL but specifically clarify any other settings, orientations, or support need; offering the transparent insights you would require.
