Help finding a proper project box...

Yes it is nice to be able to put your projects INSIDE something isn't it? You know, to hold everything together so it doesn't flop around? Discuss the techniques here!

Help finding a proper project box...

Post by CronoTriggerfan »

I'm going to be combining a GBA Micro and a SuperCard SD for my next mod, and I'd like to get a project box suited to the dimensions, which are as follows: 50×101×17.2 millimeters (2×4×0.7 in)

I would make a custom case out of engraving plastic, but I'm already doing that with another project right now, and it's proving to be more time-consuming than I'd originally expected, and given my lack of time as of late, I wanna make sure this project goes as fast as possible. Thanks! :D

all depends on what tools you have readily available to you and how skilled you are at using those tools. you could use aluminum, fiberglass, wood, or try vacuum forming. or even look at some products at polycase.com if you dont want to build one yourself

Thanks for the advice. :P Having built a good many portables, I can say I don't wanna vac form, CNC, hand-make, etc. this case, I just need a project box that's around those dimensions that I can Xacto/Dremel up.
