What
- Engineered a compact protective housing for electronics, designed for efficient thermal management.
- Developed a rectangular body with dense ventilation grilles, internal rails for easy opening and a hexagonal aperture for a standard cooling fan.
How
- Used Fusion 360 pattern and cut tools to create hexagonal mesh that maximises airflow while keeping the walls strong.
- Added faceted corners with broad fillets and chamfers for impact resistance and a clean industrial look.
Results
- Delivered a model optimised for FDM printing, with clear airflow paths that prevent overheating in sustained use.
- Produced a design that combines protection with cooling, including precise mounts for internal hardware and an external fan.
