PCB enclosure for a crowdfunding run
PCB enclosure generated for a crowdfunding run starts at 106 × 66 × 28 mm and 58 g in PA12 + 30% glass fibre — €34 including VAT, delivered in about 8 working days, or €29 if you can wait 38. Design for the process you will end up on, from the first article. That means draft on every vertical face, ribs thinner than the walls they stiffen, and no undercut that needs a side action nobody budgeted for.
What a crowdfunding run actually demands
A funded campaign is a promise with a date on it, made before anyone has tooled anything. The classic failure is not the electronics — it is discovering at 500 units that the housing was designed for a printer and cannot be moulded.

The starting point this page generated
Everything in the specification below was computed, not written. We passed “pcb enclosure batch of 500 units” to the same generator the configurator uses, and this is what came back: a buildable pcb enclosure with every dimension inside the range the partner factory has qualified.
It is a starting point, not a product. Change any parameter in the configurator and the mass, the price, the tolerances and the manufacturability findings all recompute before you order.
Why this one can ship in days
Because the part that carries your dimensions is made by sls 3d printing — a process with no tooling to cut first. A mould would mean weeks before the first part existed; this starts the same day the order does.
General dimensions hold ISO 2768-m, which at this size means ±0.3 mm; the fits that matter carry explicit ISO 286 callouts in the table above. The batch lane makes the same geometry by moulding or nesting it in a production run and sends it by sea: €29 in about 38 working days.
