This is an example project using "Advanced Ultimate Box Maker" on https://thingiverse.com/thing:4947863 with parametric design.
Because thingiverse does not support directories, all files are in one directory and that makes it a little bit confusing.
Please look for more details of this advanced version and the example project at https://github.com/M-oster/Advanced-Ultimate-Box-Maker.
There are very more detailed explanations:
- Module view (Schematic) of the Powersupply
- Bill of materials (BOM)
- design code of used assemblies in various formats (amf, f3d, FcStd, stl, step)

Add. Requirements to download
- OpenSCAD, download it from here: https://www.openscad.org/downloads.html
- The library “BOSL2” from https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL2/
- The library “NopSCADlib” from https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib
- for USB/BT-modues, the remote-control software for windows and Android https://www.joy-it.net/en/products/JT-DPH5005
(The original android software from Ruideng does not work)
Installation
- run the downloaded OpenSCAD-file and install the exe.
- unpack the zip-file from BOSL2-library into the appropriate lib-directory (My Documents\OpenSCAD\libraries)
- do the same with library-file “NopSCADlib”
- Its better to download the more detailed “Advanced ultimate Box Maker” from https://github.com/M-oster/Advanced-Ultimate-Box-Maker.
- Unpack the zip-file into the directory "My Documents\OpenSCAD" so that all files are in the sub-directory "Mobile Powersupply".
Added some more features
- Integration of electronic parts of the NopSCADlib
- Choice of different case feet (Hole, integrated feet, Rubber feet, Foldable feet)
- Choice of different threaded inserts for fixation tabs
- Choice of different kind of PCB-feet (inserts, pillars, spacers)
- Holes with a recess for front- or backpanel
- Longholes for front- or backpanel
- Customizable fan-guard for the backpanel
- a lot of fan-sizes are integrated and their correct screw-distance is autom. choosen.
- Ledges on both upper edges of the box shells for better stabilization
- Allows to create extra holes in the bottom shell
- Choosable textfont for paneltext
- Frequent remarks added in the code and a lot of debug outputs can be activted
The main file is "Adv-Ultimate-Box-PowerSupply-main.scad".
*Open it in OpenSCAD.
*Press F5 for compile and check that there is no error. A reason for errors can be missing lib-files in the lib directory of OpenSCAD.
*Then open the customizer section on the right side and adpat the box options to your needs.
For better understanding the file "Advanced-Ultimate-Box-Maker-DimDemo.scad" shows dimensions and coordinates.
The file "Advanced-Ultimate-Box-Maker-Holes_TextsDemo.scad" shows the various features creating text and holes.
IMPORTANT INFO:
For the functioning of the program it's important to download ALL files.
As the "Download all files" doesn't work since Oct' 2021, I have added a link for download the hole project files as one zip file. You have only add /zip to the lURL of the thingiverse-project:
