Eagle outline for Altoids tin

Other Hardware Product Design
1

Hi

The title says it all really, anyone know of where I can get an outline for a pcb to fit in an Altoids tin for Eagle??

I'm currently working on an arduino compatible that I want to fit in the tin, but I obviously need to make sure that all my components will fit in the tin. My arduino will have the USBaspLoader bootloader, so will be programmable by usb.

If there is room, I'm also going to include a prototyping space, and a "VUSBTiny AVR SPI Programmer" as well for programming chips not easily attached to the arduino :slight_smile:

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post

thanks

Why not just measure the can and create the outline needed on the Dimension layer (layer 20)?
It's not hard at all.

2 reasons,
1: I don't have a can to hand, just a cheap knockoff thats a few mm bigger...
2: those rounded corners are the bain of my life...

Rounded corners, use the Edit:Miter button to create the corner.

This site claims that it has eagle .brd files for three kinds of Altoids tin: http://ambithost.com/valacraft/2013/04/altoids-board-outlines-for-eagle/
