What
- Designed a compact PCB enclosure with a functional snap-joint that holds the assembly together.
- Aimed to minimise size and thickness, improve manufacturability and make the enclosure fully printable without breakage.
How
- Developed a new snap-joint design, added a dedicated battery compartment and created cut-outs for LEDs and screws.
- Suggested PCB layout changes to reduce thickness further, and optimised the enclosure for reliable FDM printing.
Results
- Delivered a refined Version 2 enclosure with reduced thickness and an improved internal layout.
- Achieved a durable, minimal-footprint design that meets functional, manufacturing and assembly requirements.
