The case consists of two parts: main body and lid. It is intended to accommodate all the components required for gas leak detection in domestic or lab environments.

⚙️ Supported Components

• Arduino UNO
• Mini breadboard
• 9V battery
• 9V battery plug
• MQ5 or MQ135 gas sensor
• Piezo buzzer
• 5 mm LED with panel mount

📐 Technical Specifications

• Wall thickness: 2 mm
• Structure: two-part enclosure (case + lid)
• Internal layout: dedicated slots for each component
• Front panel:

- Hole for 5 mm LED

- Acoustic grille for buzzer

- Opening for gas sensor

• Mounting: designed to keep components stable during use and handling

🖨️ Printing Recommendations

• Technology: FDM
• Material: PLA or PETG
• Layer height: 0.2 mm
• Infill: 20–30%
• Perimeters: 2–3 walls recommended
• Supports:

- Required for the lid and some internal features of the case

• Orientation:

- Case: print with the base on the build plate

- Lid: print flat, top side up

📦 Additional Notes

This project is evolving: future updates may improve assembly, internal cable routing, and compatibility with other gas sensors.
