Comment on Are 3D-printed objects waterproof?

How big of equipment? A ziplock freezer bag might do the trick for you, or if you’re fancy, vacuum seal it. I trust that to sous vide meat for days, at elevated temps even.
What is the sensor sensing?

It records temperature and EM radiation. We have a customer that has EMC requirements for underwater equipment 🙂 I mean as long as they pay eh…
The device is maybe 4" x 3" x 3" - possibly longer on the long side - and fairly expensive. The ziplock bag thing may work but it looks sketchy considering the price of the thing.

A vacuum sealer would be more robust and look less janky than a Ziploc bag. You can get a used food saver for cheap!

Just spit balling here. Maybe put your sensor in a ziplock or vacuum seal it and then put that inside your 3D printed box that way you get all the security without the jank look.

How deep? Pressure might be a problem? (I’m curious if this is a documented spec, and which one it is. I’m very curious)

Not very deep. About 3 ft.
