we buy from them and then mill the ends a bit for a more exact fit

Hi folks!
I just in progress of making a new case. Here is some few pictures.
Still need to cut the egdes
Length: 27cm Width : 31cm High : 10cm
Small case!

Inside the case it will have:
DT40 Pro set, 250mw 532nm TTL greenie,(maby Pangolin's Flashback 3)
One 80mm 230V fan (need to make a hole)

Not sure if this is in the right section, but here goes.

I have an RGB laser setup that needs casing, can anyone help with this as I'm not very goot with metalwork/woodwork and I need a good strong light case?
I'm reluctant to go to a flightcase manufacturer as I don't know if they'd be able to work out the cooling and access that would be needed.

I'm happy to pay for materials and labour, so let me know if you're interested and can help.

Looking at that sbk laser makes me feel really sick

The more you look the worse it gets... sbk... how the F did you do the lasers before you did the power supplys and amps? Having the lasers on the bottom makes it look impossible to have put it all together. Or align for that matter. I may be looking at it from the wrong perspective though.

Where did you get the extruded aluminum sides? I've been looking for something like that!

The answer is simple though : the electronics plate is easily "moveable" (once the side and front panels are away), and the cables to the lasers and scanners are long enough (without saying that I have a removeable connector to link the top to the bottom), so I can put the top plate away to work on the bottom
For quickly realign the lasers, I just remove the front panel and so I have direct access to the dichros mount...

Hey Laser Man,

Does that mean you'd like to help me with my case?

I like the look of the case that you posted the link for, I would have made one or two slight changes (powercon connector instead of IEC and fan grilles), but its cool. Can the arm be used for flying the laser from a bar? And how easy is it to open the case for aligning once it's been mounted on a stand?
