Arduino UNO Project Box with Banana Jacks for LCD Display

Description

This case gives your Arduino UNO project a safe space, up to 4 banana jack plugs and a snap on lid. All of these features are integrated in such a way that no tools are necessary to remove the UNO or the lid. I often used banana jacks and never had a quick way to remove the equipment, until now. This box is a little longer than my other project box so that it will work with the Adafruit RGB LCD shield kit with 16x2 character display. The buttons were replaced with the taller buttons to come closer to the surface of the lid/LCD. The opening for the buttons is not the best, but all the design files are included if you want to make it better. When building up the wiring to the banana jacks, use the thickest wires that work for your application. Why? The thicker the wire, the more it helps secure the UNO in the case. Without them the UNO might wiggle around if you haven't secured it with something else. Another idea is to add a jumper wire that makes a loop off of the top of your top shield. The wire can be bent to just touch the lid. Again, the thicker the better. I designed this using Sketchup. I've printed it with a 3D45. Those files are also included in the download for this project. There is a support built into the design for the USB connector to the UNO. This is meant to be broken out after the build is done. The design has printed just fine for me without any additional supports.
