- How can you eliminate screws in your screen case? How do you design a snap in cover that firmly holds the screen in the enclosure?
By the end of this video you will know the four steps to replace screws with a snap in cover to firmly hold your screen in place!
Also, you will get some design tips along with the dimensions I used for this design!

Such an excellent channel with great insights
Glad to hear! What did you find most helpful?
Thank, really helpful tips!
Glad it was helpful!
very interesting and informative video !!
Thank you!
Great channel, keep the engineering tips coming! Liked and subbed
Thanks, will do!
Can you please post a tutorial on " how to deisgn one?" it would be really helpful.
I have 3 videos on snap fits using a buckle as an example. Feel free to start with this video:

Great information. One of my struggles is coming up with tolerances in the design, my gap between parts for example. When I design in CAD then slice, the slicer is going to use the measurements from the design then calculate the project using the width and height calculations of the filament from its configuration file. So the outside is almost always perfect. But any interior measurements in the designed (Like a hole, or interior wall for example)are changed due to the resolution of the filament width and height. It seems like it should be simple math, but I feel I am missing something either in the slicer, or my printer, or just expected variation in the system, because that always exists. I am just making to many test prints I feel to get the right fit. Curios with the type of work your doing, have you been struggling with this, or have you solved the issue. Cura slicer has a setting for holes(Horizontal Expansion), but this seems to only work for circles. Maybe I am just not keeping my filament width in mind though out the planning.
I typically make my hole diameters .5-.8mm larger in CAD than the gap I'm looking for.
Defining tolerances is often a larger design effort than modeling up the parts.
I think the issue with holes is the physics of extruding filament, which causes extra filament to be pushed into the hole.
Oh snap!
Today I learned you could use the bottom of the calipers to measure height of things 🤦
Bwahahaha!!!
Very interesting, you need a bit of a better mic to help with the sound!
What sounds off?
@@EngineersGrow volume was too low, great info though
thanks! will increase the volume on the next video.
@@EngineersGrow There's something terribly wrong with the sound. Not just the volume. I watched it with headphones on.
@@Shampooworld Thanks! I've been improving the sound since this video. Hopefully most of those issues are gone.
Excellent video, can you share the stl file?
Thank you! Here they are.

@@EngineersGrow Thank you very much you are very kind.
Great info, but something about the microphone of audio balancing is hitting my ears really harshly. I wish I was more of an audiophile, then I could probably pinpoint an exact term. Maybe someone with more experience in this area could chime in.
(side note, it's possible the issue is on my end, but I find that unlikely as I haven't noticed this any other time/place on my computer)
Thanks for the feedback. The issue is on my end and I'm working on resolving it in future videos.
Is it Solidworks?
Fusion 360
Step number 3, look up the datasheet, if possible..., Step number 4: If step number 3 fails, then ...
so hate any snapping parts, it looks like very chip one-time stuff
There's something wrong with your audio. Are you using a noise reduction filter? It is squelching your pauses. I am sorry it sounds horrible, I would have preferred the noise.
Yes. Does the latest video sound any better?
th-cam.com/video/E2CqXgaQsyI/w-d-xo.html
I tried different mic position and reduce amount of noise reduction in it.
@@EngineersGrow Yup, it's a lot better. I am glad you were able to fix the problem. BTW, I have seen that video already :)
Great, thanks for the feedback!
Just stop using those big ass bolts, and use small self tapping screws. I dont know why people keep using inserts & bolts, when all industries use self tapping screws for plastic.
I agree. Many applications can use self tapping screws for plastics.
There are applications where inserts and bolts are often better, such as covers that need routine service or need higher clamping force.
Also, I went away from using self tapping screws on fixtures made with FDM 3D printing. Over time the fixture would crack from the stress created by the screw threads. Other times the parts cracked right away, since the hole diameter was smaller on holes printed in horizontal orientation.
