    Default Generic laser case

    if we would be able to get a very good generic case made for us laser enthousiasts, what size would you prefer ?

    What design, 2 levels ? Fan holes ?

    Have to get some made for a project we are making but if I get 1 made or 10 or 20 it is same

    They can also powdercoat them

    Looking forward to reading your comments

    Did you see the one I had in a small flight case at the UKLEM?

    Or... Did you see the ones on the rigging on the stage. They were all cases made by Mark (Insanity) and Simon (Pit8ull). These are very well thought out cases and pretty much come pre-wired.

    There's a thread on the forum somewhere about these cases. It might be worth contacting them before re-inventing the wheel .

    Cheers

    Yes, I did but as I understood Mark and Simon have only few left and they are planning to use that one.
    Again I might understood wrong, the ones I am planning is just a alu base plate drilled every cm in the middle (of the case) and the rest free for others to install (diodes or modules etc.) however they see fit....

    But if we get ours (for diodes) made, if the guy cuts and bends 1 or 10 it is going to be almost same price.

    I might be interrested in the base plate alone. In our country I've only found them 2m² for 1cm thick, or for a ridiculous price.

    Hence the group buy, if we get a bigger plate cut into smaller pieces it makes sense...
    Where in Belgium are you ?

    15km east of Ghent.
    Are you planning on anodizing the baseplates in black and/or having holes drilled and tapped?

    And where are you located?

    Idea is to getting them drilled and tapped, but anodizing is option...

    I would be interested if it was an entire case with pre cut holes.

    All depending on quality and price mind.
