Creating an Arduino Board Case in TinkerCad
Go to tinkercad.com. Create your account and sign in and let's get started with a new design.
Choose the geometric shape: box.
Place it anywhere and then hover over top of it. Note that the default size is about 20 mm wide 20 mm
long and 20 mm tall. Note that is not big enough for our project.

Click and hold the bottom right corner (white box) and drag it out until it is 60 x 80mm.

We don’t want that whole box to be empty because it will be too big for the Arduino board. What we
will do is create a hole in the box. In the right menu, scroll down to the “Hole” section. Select the Box
Hole icon. You will be creating a hole in the box you already made.
Once clicked it will light up with number and icons, however, all it is saying is "where do you want your
hole in the box?" So right now you have a 20 mm x 20 mm x 20 mm just like that original cube.

It need to be big enough to fit the Arduino board.
If the Arduino board needs to fit inside a 53 mm x 67 mm container then cutting out that hole would
look like the image below. Drag the hole to the correct dimension.

One thing to consider is the bottom of the box.
Right now there is a hole through the bottom, but what you can do is click on this square here and lift up
2 mm. It was at 20 ....

Now it is at 18. Now we will have a 2mm thick base that the Arduino board will sit on.

Next thing you want to do is build a lid. Let's rotate the view back to the original perspective so that we
can see it from the top again. Right now the top is 60 mm x 80 mm and you need a lid to fit that
opening.
We want it to fit nice and perfectly on top. Place another box on the workspace.

We don’t need this to be very big and we are going to take it and push it down to 3 mm tall just big
enough to fit the board.

We will now make a notch that is 53 mm and 67 mm.
We are going to build another box on top of this with dimensions of 53 mm x 67 mm.

One thing you will want to do is measure so that your sides are perfectly square and straight and we are
going to make this a very small box. Right now it is 3 mm tall we want to make it 5 mm so it goes up an
extra 2 mm on there for us.
The last thing we want to do is to build a cylinder hole for the push button. Select the cylinder hole icon.

It needs to be 5 mm and we are going to bring that to a diameter of 10 mm, so you would want to
position this in the same location you are going to be putting the push button. Hold the shift key when
resizing to keep the proportions of the circle correct. You will be doing to the same thing with the led
light.
We will shrink this down to 5 mm. You will now have a 10mm hole and a 5mm hole on the lid. Now, drag
your mouse over the entire box, and then hit the group button in the top right corner. Do the same for
the lid. This will cut your holes.

All finished. We will now download for 3D printing as a .stl file so we can send it to the Airwolf 3D
printer.
