I suggested that method some time ago. I started started modelling it but ran out of cad skill. Perhaps I should have started with cardboard and a knife instead. Points to consider: Acrylic gives beautiful edges but is fairly brittle. Other plastics may be mechanically better but won't cut so cleanly. Plywood might work well.. Thickness tolerance in sheet plastics is quite large, so design with it in mind. Cut tolerance is good enough to engineer press fits between cut surfaces. Buttons need some thought, and probably some experiment. It would be easier to house a board designed with this sort of housing in mind than to retrofit to boards built for an injection moulded case. > look the low price! > I think something like this could also be made by a reprap or any 3D printer > ...or laser cut service: > http://www.vectorealism.com/en/make-a-product/ _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
