PCB enclosure
Give us the board dimensions and we generate the housing around it: standoffs on your mounting holes, clearance on every edge, heat-set inserts so it opens more than three times, and a thermal check before you order.

Buildable as specified
- Board edge clearance needs a secondary operation
H11/h11 at Ø3.2 mm asks for a tolerance the as-moulded process does not hold. A PCB outline is routed to ±0.2 mm and boards bow. A loose slot with a locating boss beats a tight one that a panelised board will not enter.
→ Specify reaming or facing after the primary operation, and state it on the drawing.
- Speed is most of what you are paying for
Air freight is €8.17 of a €15.88 landed cost — 51% of it. This part is heavy enough that flying it costs more than making it.
→ The same configuration by sea takes about 38 working days and cuts the freight to roughly a fiftieth.
- The moulded version carries draft the printed one does not
Shell prints without draft on the express lane, but injection molding needs 1° on every face parallel to the pull. Over a 90 mm wall that moves the surface by about 1.6 mm.
→ If the two must be interchangeable, design with draft from the start and accept it on the printed part too.

What is fixed, and what is yours
The parameters above move; the components do not. Every unit uses the same released bill of materials, from the same certified suppliers, because changing the electronics means repeating the certification — expensive, slow, and invisible to you. The freedom is in the geometry, which is the part you actually see and touch.
shell and lid are made for your order by sls 3d printing. That split is the whole reason this can arrive in 8 working days instead of six weeks.
