@frogandtoad Thanks for all those suggestions. I have installed OpenSCAD and am able to use it immediately. Now I just need to get access to the Parksville BC Makers Club 3D printers.

Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.

Does anyone have a lead of an affordable selection of plastic boxes in Canada or ships to Canada pain free. FYI a box about 150mm/6" x 75mm/3" x 25mm/1" is what I am looking for.

@ronalex4203

Here is a FreeCad file of a box with a lid.  You can resize the box by changing the sizes in the spreadsheet.  I hope this helps.

@huckohio I already received a file for another application (OpenSCAD) that is dead simple to use. I unzipped your file but the extension is unknown, and opening it with a text editor crashes. I have what I need, but even with 60 years of programming experience CAD continues to elude me.

Great.  The more options the better!  The file I sent you is a FreeCAD file.
