Current 3D printed enclosure for the Raspberry Pi that controls the dash needs to be redone as part of this project. When removing the Pi the threaded extrudes it was screwed into broke in torsion.
Learning: we cannot rely on screwing into extruded cylindrical shells.
Context
We require enclosures for our PCBs
Outcomes
The enclosures should be able to do the following
Constraints
Related Issues
We cannot fully design the enclosures until all the car PCB are designed. However we must validate our designs and develop a standard enclosure to use on each pcb.
Steps to reproduce behavior
design test boxes to determine sealing method
determine oring material, 20A durometer
Determine the fundamental lid design
Determine oring gland tooling
Determine what heat set inserts we will use ( McMaster heatset inserts for plastics )
Use test boxes to find out: How long can the wall be, how thick can the wall be, how does the heat set insert work?
Finalize a standard design for the electrical enclosures that can be used across the car.
To design an enclosure for the PCBs you must
