The 'Case' Thread

[JRGixxerfreaK1]

Hello All!

Is there any company that sells double decker type case? i.e Bottom half is the electronics and top half is a dust sealed optical deck sandwiched between a large thin heatsink the ones similar to Arctos type housing ,

Im having a hard time finding a large heatsink here to build my own double decker.

Anybody has any info's? would be great!


Cheers!

Here's my horribly made double deck type case , not even done yet, also need to find a large heatsink in between the top and lower

You could just use large stand-offs between the original base plate and then fabricate a second deck...

Good luck!

Do you really have to have the separate compartments?
Goldenstar do the G case which is 2 separate decks, but it ain't on stilts. Is this a design aesthetic thing, or for some engineering reason?
Drop Winni a PM anyway, she sent me a picture of a serious double decker case last year but I've never seen it on the website. It was for a big 10w+ projector I think and had heat sink in the middle

Hello Norty ,
No no nothing to do with the engineering, just a pleasing looks that my mind is craving for.
I just love the design & looks of it that's all, ill ask Winni later.
Do you have the picture of the case? I would love to see that.

I just made that! just need to find a large thin finned heatsink and a top enclosure to seal it off , probly gonna use carbon fiber for the top deck


Thanks for your advice

Why not consider how RGBLaserSystems does it?

Heatsink/fans on top, lasers/optics mounted underneath the heatsink (in a sealed chamber), ~1/4"divider plate, then lower enclosure contain the electronics.
