    The subject of cases (chassis) can be a complex one and very expensive.

    I have now completed a number of construction builds with lasers.

    You never want to underestimate the time on the simple mechanics and the cost that can add to a project.

    My two greens have turned out much as I wanted however they are too big for what they are and way too much work was required.

    My current build for a 1watt Laser-Wave OEM setup is going to be a lot simpler and cheaper...
    The answer I have found is the pre-made metal enclosure already painted and finished for just $144.00 NZ dollars... about $95.00 US $
    Its sold by Radio Spares part number 222-070 for the 280mm * 432mm
    I opted for the 300mm * 280mm this is going to make a nice "small" green unit at 1watt.

    Pix to follow as progress..
    Suggest take a look at Radio Spares website.. www.rs-online.com

    Cheers
