Custom Low-Profile Rugged Portable Field Electronics Case Anyone

About the job

Custom Low-Profile Rugged Portable Field Electronics Case
Date: February 24, 2026
Scope of Work
Design one complete rugged, low-profile portable enclosure (“Electronics Case”) that securely houses, organizes, protects, and allows quick access to all listed electronics. The case must survive drops from 1.5 m onto concrete, kicks, or impacts without cracking, deforming, or failing. All cable chaos must be eliminated through professional internal wire management and precisely modeled component cradles/cutouts. The exterior must maintain complete stealth, appearing as a plain, ordinary luggage or tool case from the outside.
Key Requirements

Exterior must present complete stealth: plain, ordinary luggage/tool-case appearance when closed. Matte gray or black finish. Zero visible connectors, ports, or technical features.
Soft, rounded edges and corners preferred for ergonomics and appearance (confirm any sharp features with me before finalizing).
Lid must open fully 180° flat with complete unobstructed access and full clearance for ALL antennas to deploy vertically when open.
Provide 3 different layout proposals (top-down, side view, and exploded views) before detailed modeling so we can review and select the best direction together.
Exact STEP/STL reference files and high-resolution component photos will be supplied after layout approval.
All major component cradles and cutouts must be designed for precise fit based on the dimensions provided below.

Exact STEP/STL reference files and high-resolution component photos will be supplied after layout approval.
All major component cradles and cutouts must be designed for precise fit based on the dimensions provided below.
If anything is unclear or you see potential improvements, discuss with me first.

Components to Integrate (use dimensions below for layout):

reComputer Super J4012 (Seeed Studio) — primary (~130 × 120 × 58.5 mm)
Secondary Seeed board option — fully parametric (exact dimensions provided later)
Skyzone SKY04X PRO OLED FPV Goggles (Black) – 185 × 75 × 67 mm (padded quick-access compartment)
GameSir G7 Pro wired controller – 152 × 103 × 58 mm (secure docking slot)
Anker 7-Port Powered USB 3.0 Hub (internal only)
Two ALFA AWUS036ACH WiFi adapters (~85 × 63 × 20 mm each) with Foxeer Lollipop antennas
Rear telemetry module (30 mm wide × 57 mm long × 12.8 mm high)
Two new front boards (one anchor, one tag) — each 32.7 mm wide × 73.2 mm long × 8.9 mm high, with four M3 mounting holes (width c-c 28.2 mm, length c-c 66.9 mm)
1× GPS antenna (dimensions provided later)
2× main air antennas (dimensions provided later)

Critical Layout Rules

Rear telemetry module must maintain minimum 15 mm separation from each new front board.
Excellent passive cooling for reComputer (ventilation channels + heat-spreader pockets).
Antenna placement is critical for signal performance: dedicated internal mounting bosses and optimized routing paths for 2× main air antennas, 2× Foxeer Lollipop antennas, and 1× GPS antenna. ALFA/Foxeer antennas positioned for best external signal acquisition.
All connections and interfaces fully internal — nothing visible or accessible when lid closed.
Generous internal cable routing channels with strain relief. No loose wires when closed.

Power Requirements (Critical – Exact Requirements – NO XT60 ANYWHERE)

External power input (single plug only): One low-profile, fully recessed, quick-connect power port on the exterior shell. Flush-mounted, zero protrusion, protective cover when not in use.
“Open plug go quick” design — single plug connects flat and instantly to one output of the external Anker Pro battery. Must look completely plain and unassuming when covered.
Internal power distribution (hidden 3-plug block): One hidden, recessed 3-port power distribution block inside the case (only accessible when lid open). This block must exactly match the 3 output plugs on the Anker Pro battery.
Clean internal distribution bus feeding all components (reComputer, Anker 7-port hub, ALFAs, telemetry, new front boards, etc.).
When using the external single plug: power flows through the recessed external port → internal distribution bus → powers everything.
When lid is open: optional direct plug-in of all three Anker Pro plugs into the hidden internal block for full multi-output power/charging.

Exterior Design
Completely minimal and unassuming: matte gray or black finish. Flush-mounted subtle latches only. Integrated low-profile carry handle. Must look like ordinary luggage, tool case, or standard equipment box from the outside.
Material & Durability Requirements

All 3D-printed structural parts optimized for MJF PA12 Nylon.
Minimum wall thickness: 3.5–4.0 mm everywhere.
Infill: 50–60% gyroid.
Reinforced high-stress zones (corners, latch areas, handle mounts).

Deliverables

Native editable SolidWorks 2024 or newer files: full assembly (.SLDASM) + every individual part (.SLDPRT). Files must be fully parametric with design tables/configurations and clean, logical feature history so dimensions, hole positions, lengths, or features can be easily changed later.
STEP 214 export of the complete assembly and all individual parts.
Print-ready STL files for every single component. These STLs must be:
• 100% manifold / watertight (zero mesh errors, no holes, no non-manifold edges)
• High-resolution mesh (deviation ≤ 0.02 mm for smooth professional prints)
• Correctly scaled in real-world millimeters
• Properly oriented for 3D printing (flat base where practical, support-friendly)
• Ready to upload directly to Xometry with no repairs, fixes, or Meshmixer work needed
High-resolution rendered images from multiple angles (full assembly + exploded view recommended)
Short assembly notes (1-page PDF or text) covering power connection, antenna deployment, cable routing, and component installation
Up to 2–3 rounds of revisions included

Important note for the designer: I am an AI developer, not a CAD user. The SolidWorks files are my long-term editable master files. The STLs must be perfect the first time so I can send them straight to Xometry for printing without any rework.
