Anyone Want One? 1.5"x6"x20" 12s5p ABS Vacuum Formed Enclosures Coming Soon!

I just found out I have access to a high quality vacuum forming table at my university that I can use any time I want!

I am currently making 3 1.5"x6"x20" buck molds. This should be the perfect size for a 12s5p double stack battery and 2 FOCBoxes with some extra space for a switch and LED light controller. I am mounting these bucks to an old Landyatchz 38 Switchblade, Bustin Robot and a piece of flat plywood.

The Bustin Robot has a slight concave and should produce enclosures that should conform to most concave decks. The flat plywood should fit almost any flat deck, but the Landyatchz enclosures will likely only fit the 38 Switchblade, which is my personal favorite eskate deck.

I will be picking up some black ABS next week and hopefully start making enclosures the weekend after!

I am trying to decide how much ABS to buy so I wanted to see how many people may be interested in purchasing an enclosure and what deck they would want it molded on.

Please let me know! Thanks!

Edit: I am thinking of selling them for ~$60 each plus shipping. Shipping will probably be about $10 anywhere in the US and I can calculate it for international customers.

How thick can of a sheet of abs can you form? 1/8? Greater?

To be honest, I haven’t done this before so I do not know. I just know @psychotiller uses 1/8th inch so that is what I was going to use. If you would be willing to commit to buying an enclosure I could buy a sheet of 3/16 and try it out!
