Would this make suitable case material?

Post by metalcookie »

As many of you may know, I tried making a portable, but it failed utterly because I designed it without much thought in a case :facepalm:

Anyways, I'm thinking about doing an snes portable, and wanted to know if this would be a suitable case material:

If I'm going to try again at portablizing, I want to do it right.

Word of advice. On your first one buy from Polycase. It's what everyone does for their first one. It's just easier.

Lol I completely forgot about polycase. I got my zn-40 case there. I'm not looking for a pre-built case, though. I just want a sheet of plastic to build my own. I'd do vacuum forming, but I think I'll keep it simple, like I should have done in the beginning...

I think I'm going to just go with a simple design with sheet plastic. I don't really like pre-built cases because sometimes they aren't exactly the way you want them.
