3D Printing Meets Electronics: The Custom Enclosure Advantage 10 Aug 2025 • 1 min read

How to design and print enclosures that fit your projects perfectly.
Back to Blog Home

Electronics projects often live in makeshift housings — cardboard boxes, old tins, or whatever’s lying around. But a custom 3D-printed enclosure can take a project from prototype to polished.

Using CAD software, you can design for your exact board size, component placement, and cable routing. Add ventilation slots for heat management or snap-fit panels for easy access. PLA is fine for most indoor projects, while PETG handles heat and stress better.

The result is an enclosure that not only protects your electronics but also shows off your craftsmanship.
