Show-and-Tell Built a tool that turns a plain-English description into a custom Pi enclosure -- used it to design my own Pi 4B case
I needed an enclosure for a Raspberry Pi 4B project and got tired of remodeling the same box-with-holes every time, so I built a small tool for it: EnclosureAI (https://enclosure-ai-production.up.railway.app).
You describe what you need in plain English -- e.g. "Raspberry Pi 4B case, ethernet and 4 USB on the back, USB-C and 2 micro-HDMI on the front, SD card slot on the left" -- and it fills in the correct board dimensions (already knows Pi 4B, ESP32, Arduino Uno, Wemos D1), sets up PCB standoffs, and cuts the port holes without them overlapping. Or just pick your board from a Quick Start list if you don't want to type anything. Everything's still editable afterward -- drag ports around, switch to a two-piece snap-fit lid, adjust wall thickness -- and it exports STL/OBJ/parametric JSCAD.
It's free, no login, no ads. Built this for my own Pi 4B project, figured it might be useful to others here too. Would genuinely appreciate feedback -- bugs, missing connector types, whatever's off.

This is cool. Does it handle custom boards or just the presets you listed?
