Wenn man bei Mouser (Deutschland) eingetragen ist, kann man das Gehäuse Hammond RM20215S als STP-Datei herunterladen und drucken (https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/Hammond-Manufacturing/RM2015S?qs=6W4OQKoqJ0vbaS7wWejjkQ%3D%3D). Das ist ein toller Support von Mouser! Allerdings sollte man auf dem Boden die Abschrägung nach unten ziehen, damit nicht soviele Supports gedruckt werden müssen. Ich denke, das ist das Gehäuse, das Peter verwendet hat.

If you have an account with Mouser (Germany), you can download the Hammond RM20215S enclosure as an STP file and print it (https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/Hammond-Manufacturing/RM2015S?qs=6W4OQKoqJ0vbaS7wWejjkQ%3D%3D). It's a great support from Mouser. However, you should extend the bevel on the bottom downwards so that fewer supports are required during printing. I believe this is the enclosure Peter used.

Orders for “PC3s” and “hdmi2VGA” are now closed; this fits in perfectly with the tiered pricing structure of the supplier jlcpcb!

  ManiB said  Have you ever thought about ordering the PCBs in black instead of green? They cost a few cents extra, but they look so much more high-quality—and black is beautiful. The PCB panels should be black too, of course—what else? ;)


@ManiB: Die Blenden in schwarz sind für mich okay und auch default gewählt. Welche Stärke hast du da im Bild verwendet? 1.6 oder 2 mm?
Bei der Platinenfarbe bevorzuge ich grün, dann kann man viel besser die Leiterbahnen verfolgen und hat im Falle eines Falles noch eine Chance. Es ist doch eh der Deckel drauf ;-)

@ManiB: The black panels are fine by me – that’s my default setting anyway. What thickness did you use in the picture? 1.6 or 2 mm?
As for the colour of the circuit board, I prefer green – it makes the tracks much easier to follow, and you still have the option of repairing something if the worst comes to the worst. The board is covered by the casing anyway ;-)

Für die Druckvariante des Gehäuses (und vermutlich auch für die Kaufvariante) ist die Frontplattenstärke 1,6 mm.

For the printable version of the enclosure (and presumably for the purchased version as well), the front panel thickness is 1.6 mm.

Hab schon angefangen mir eine Selbstdruckvariante zu erstellen, die genauen Maße für Stützen etc. kann ich aber erst eintragen wenn ich das Board habe.
Ich hab die Schrift 3mm erhaben gemacht, so kann man den Druck Pausieren und das Filament wechseln,oder einfach später die oberflächen mit Edding anmalen

  Quote  I’ve already started creating a version to print myself, but I won’t be able to enter the exact dimensions for supports etc. until I’ve got the board.
I’ve made the lettering 3mm raised, so you can pause the print and change the filament, or simply paint over the surfaces with a permanent marker later on.


Cheers

From my own experiments I think the actual ideal thickness is 1.5mm! For a while now I've been getting panels made as PCBs using 1.6mm material but removing the copper in a strip round the edges of both sides. This brings the thickness down nicely and you don't get a query about why there isn't any copper. It also means that you have the choice of screening the panels by soldering a wire to the inner copper.
