3D Printing Ideas - Waterproof Enclosure

Looking for 3D printing ideas that are both functional and fun? In this video, I design, 3D print, and test a waterproof enclosure to see how watertight it really is! I take the project a step further by giving the enclosure an IP rating, evaluating its ability to resist water and dust.

Whether you need a DIY waterproof box for outdoor electronics, gear storage, or just want to experiment with making your own watertight enclosures, this video has you covered. Watch as I go through the entire process—designing the box, optimizing it for printing, testing it under water, and determining its IP rating.

If you're curious about pushing the limits of 3D printing to create practical and reliable solutions, this is the video for you!
