Altoids Gum tin dimensions?

Post by brendan0powers »

The description for the Altoids Gum Tin gives the internal dimensions(1.4''x3.3''). However, the radius for the rounded corners are not provided. Does anyone know the exact dimensions? I'm designing a PCB that needs to completely fill the inside of the tin.

This outline in the library seems to be for the regular Altoids tin. Is there an outline for the smaller gum tin as well?

Do you have the dimensions for the corners. I have no problem creating my own board outline.

They don't seem to be an exact radius but I measured .6 in as a close approximation. (0.581)
