Casing

Six pieces box

My first real casing design, in OpenSCAD:

• six_pieces_box.scad

I wanted a design without scaffolding, hence I opted to glue to pieces together.

However, I was unhappy with this design, as it involved too much glue and the glue was not strong enough.

I realized that I can instead go for an open box design, where only a lid needs to be conneced to the box-except-lid. I decided to transition to this two pieces box design.

Transition to two pieces box using Claude

I tried to transition to the two pieces box version using Claude. It did not work out well

• transition_1.scad

• transition_2.scad

Two pieces box

Here is an open box design:

• two_pieces_box.scad

However, how to connect the lid?

I decided to start using a screw-on approach. Then, I realized, that I might as well make the clock spherical: it fits the theme better.

Spherical design

For the screw, I dediced I needed to use the Belfry OpenSCAD Library v2.
