This is a parametric box design for a Minty Boost V3 USB Mobile Charger. The recommended Altoids Mints Tin and other boxes had a few issues for my purpose.
I wanted something that could:
- Fit 3 batteries instead of 2 (for a longer charge)
- LED to signal if it's on or off
- A switch so that batteries don't have to be stored separately
Note the LED has a built in flashing circuit that doesn't need a current limiting resistor. The reason for this is to save current over a regular non-flashing LED and to save component space as well as draw attention to it being on.

This project also uses OpenScad Font: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6820 for a text warning on the bottom of the minty boost and the title on the top.
WARNING: Use this at your own risk. Batteries and MintyBoost get very hot as documented on Adafruits website, particularly with high current devices like the iPhone etc. Batteries are ge
