Boardshell describes an early-access tool for generating 3D-printable cases and internal mounts from manufacturer CAD, with STL and STEP outputs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-29 issue.

For: Electronics makers fitting boards into custom enclosures
Worth noticing: The listed board sources include DFRobot, Adafruit, M5Stack and LilyGO; a FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C5 example specifies four 2.0 mm mounts.

Field notes

The described library is built from manufacturer CAD, and the page says users can add a board using its STEP file. It presents both a complete shell and an internal mount for designs where the board will sit inside a separate enclosure. The listed fixing choices range from heat-set inserts and snap-fit to Skadis and DIN rail; the separate mount-standard feature is marked as coming later.
