 @6ee90ca1 Cool idea!  Shouldn’t be too hard to add an oring and make them waterproof, from the looks of it.

Are the latch models available somewhere?  Seem useful. 
 @9a35454a Start here: https://www.printables.com/model/59227-zx82net-ultimate-parametric-rugged-box-snap-closur

There are a ton of them, though that one seems the most popular... A lot use Fusion360 which I dot not use... 

This is the OpenSCAD one: https://www.printables.com/model/168664-parametrizable-rugged-box-openscad

I'll check exactly which files I used for the larger one. 
 @6ee90ca1 Thanks for the OpenScad one in particular.  Fun! 
 @9a35454a And yes, lots of them have space for an o-ring... some you can print a TPU ring I believe. 
 @9a35454a This is the specific one I used (80x80x60): https://www.printables.com/model/320279-rugged-box-remix

Along with the latch from here: https://www.printables.com/model/258431-rugged-box-parametric

(Note the dimensions are a bit misleading due to them being the outside dimension of the entire container.) 
 @6ee90ca1 Thanks!
