Assignment 3 - Part 1: 2D Design

• Design a case for your Arduino board.
• Take measurements or use CAD model (e.g. http://www.123dapp.com/smb-123D_Design/Arduino-Uno-R3/1677887). You can Google and find many more...
• Take into account the cables (e.g. USB), and provide holes for them.
• Think about the material thickness, kerf, screws diameter (we use M3 (3mm) and M4 (4mm) screws and hex nuts).
• Produce a 2D laser cutting diagram.
• Bonus: Design a case also for a sensor and some LEDs - make a real device!
• Document your work (this is what you will be graded on :) pencil sketches, digital design, nesting / cut plan, any annotations to explain your design choices.

Answer:
We took the arduino measurement from the arduino site and used the tool Inkscape to create a 2D box for Arduino. Before using the Inkscape, we used the site makercase.com to create a 2D design for the arduino case with the dimensions:
Length: 2.7 inches = 68.58mm
Breadth: 2.1 inches = 53.34mm
Height: 10.5mm
We will be using a card-board box for constructing the box. We assume that the kerf width is 0.2mm.
We used the following diagram as the reference for building the box:

Following is the plan of the box, designed in makercase:

Following is the 2d diagram built using Inkscape:
