Evenblox comprises various components that allow you to create housings for your electronics projects flexibly. The housings are designed based on 2020 aluminum profiles. The dimensions are in multiples of 40mm. Therefore, a Box with the size 3×2 would have dimensions of 120mm x 80mm. An Insert of 3×2 fits into this.
From top to bottom, we recognize the following components:
Covers
Covers There are roughly three types of covers: closed, open, and specific. The closed covers ensure that the electronics are sealed in a dustproof (not waterproof) manner. The open covers have openings in a honeycomb pattern to allow heat dissipation for electronics that require cooling. The open covers can also be used when a sensor is necessary. The specific covers are designed so that, for example, a display or a switch can be mounted.
Extenders
With an Extender, you can attach multiple covers to a Box. This minimizes the footprint because you don’t need to print a separate Box for each switch or button.
Boxes
A Box is a small container in which your electronics are mounted with Inserts. The Boxes have a pattern with holes to allow flexible mounting and cables to feed through.
Inserts
You can attach your electronics to the Insert and fit them in a box. There are various Inserts. If an Insert is unavailable for a specific component, please let us know by providing a link to the sales page of the component and a description of what it is intended for. We will investigate whether it is an interesting and readily available component. If this is the case, an Insert for the component will be added to the library of Inserts. You can also design the Inserts yourself, as they are relatively simple in shape. Of course, you can also use hot glue to attach the electronics.
Baseplates
If you do not want 2020 profiles, you can secure the boxes using base plates. The dimensions of the Base plates correspond with those of the Boxes. With the use of M4 heat-set inserts, you can screw boxes on the baseplate
2020 Parts
For the use of 2020 extrusions, there are some parts available to make bigger projects without using 2020 profiles for each box.
