About this model
This is a rugged box with hinges and latches. It can be made waterproof by printing a seal in flexible filament, such as TPU, or by cutting a large 2mm thick o-ring to the appropriate length. (There is also a version without the seal ring.) The latches and hinges are held in place with 20mm M3 screws. You need 8 screws in total. The hinges are springy, so they apply static pressure to the seal when the box is closed. There are two types of latch, one is a simple clip, the other is a two part mechanism which acts as a cam, which can apply significant static pressure to the seal. You can swap out the latches after assembly, so you can try both and choose which you prefer.
