How to quickly print a custom 3D shell after designing a PCB with EasyEDA
3 min
In the process of electronic product development, the design of the PCB and the manufacture of the shell are equally important. An efficient electronic device not only requires stable circuit performance, but also a delicate and functional shell to protect and display your product. This article will introduce you to how to combine EasyEDA, JLCPCB and JLC3DP to easily complete the one-stop development process from PCB design to 3D shell printing.
EasyEDA: An efficient tool for designing PCBs
EasyEDA is a cloud-based electronic design tool that is widely used in PCB design and simulation. It is famous for its convenient online operation, rich component library and powerful simulation functions, allowing electronic engineers and makers to quickly complete the design work from schematics to PCB layout. In addition, EasyEDA provides a seamless ordering function with JLCPCB, and professionally made PCB boards can be quickly obtained in just a few steps.
After the PCB design is completed, many users will encounter a problem: how to design a suitable shell for a custom PCB? At this time, you can use JLC3DP to quickly complete the design and manufacture of the shell.
JLC3DP: The best choice for quickly customizing electronic device shells
JLC3DP and EasyEDA belong to the JLC Group, providing professional online 3D printing services with prices as low as $1.00, supporting SLA, MJF, SLM, FDM, SLS, WJP. Currently, JLCPCB and JLC3DP already support combined orders.
Advantages of using JLC3DP to print shells
Provide a variety of material options: Depending on product requirements, you can choose high-strength ABS, excellent toughness TPU, or smooth-looking SLA resin materials to meet different application scenarios.
High-precision printing: Ensure that the details of the shell are perfectly presented and precisely adapted to your PCB.
Fast production: Even for complex custom designs, JLC3DP can print and deliver them within a few days, giving you more time for product development.
How to combine EasyEDA with JLC3DP?
In EasyEDA Pro, users can quickly sketch and construct simple enclosures for their projects, and EasyEDA Pro also allows you to export designs in STEP or OBJ format. This export option helps to seamlessly integrate with other professional 3D design tools for further improvement.

Understanding the Key 3D Printing File Formats
Understanding the various 3D printing file formats is crucial for achieving optimal results. Different file formats serve different purposes, each offering unique advantages depending on the complexity and requirements of the project. This article will introduce and compare the most common 3D printing file types. 1. STL (Standard Tessellation Language) File structure: STL files use triangular meshes to represent the surface of 3D objects. Each triangle is described by its three vertices, which are exp......
CAD to 3D Print: How to Go from Design to Finished Part
When people first hear about going from CAD to 3D print, it sounds almost too simple: design a part, hit print, and you’re done. But anyone who’s actually tried it knows there are a few critical steps hiding in between. The way you export your CAD file, the software you use to prepare it, and how you handle the slicing process can make the difference between a clean, accurate print and something that belongs in the scrap pile. That’s exactly why many engineers and makers turn to JLC3DP and other 3D pr......
G-Code 3D Printing Commands: Tutorial, List & How to Use Them
(Freepik) If you’ve ever peeked insidfe a 3D printer’s sliced file and seen a wall of cryptic letters and numbers, congrats, you’ve met G-code. It’s not flashy. It’s not forgiving. But it’s the language that tells your printer exactly how to bring your model to life, line by line, millimeter by millimeter. Most users never touch G-code because slicers handle it automatically. However, If you're serious about improving your prints, understanding G-code 3D printing isn't optional, it's essential. This i......
Slicer Hacks to Improve 3D Prints
(Source: LiveRoom) Ever wondered why your 3D prints aren't turning out as expected, despite having a well-calibrated printer? The secret often lies in the slicing software. Mastering your slicer settings can transform your prints from mediocre to exceptional. Let's delve into some advanced slicer hacks that can elevate your 3D printing game. Why Slicing Is an Important Step Slicing is the translator between your 3D model and your printer. Think of your slicer as the brain of the operation. It takes yo......
