Enclosure inspiration thread

I finished my vacuum forming table today! Now I have to make a mold for my enclosure. I want it to look nice, but don’t have any ideas.

Post your enclosures! I am looking to be inspired.

RadioShack project box FTW.

But really… I’m going to start my vacuum forming table soon. Did you follow a DIY? Link details on your table!

I really like how small mine is but it is very fragile.I have considered making it into a mold, but it probably would lose a lot of the details on it.

Yeah fragile and esk8 don’t mix…

Looks good tho !

Well I am only assuming its fragile because with anything 3d printed you run the risk of delaminating parts, but I have a few dings and dents and no breaking so far…

How abt a layer of cf or fiberglass …

Heck if u go that route u might as well just make it ur mold for enclosures lol

Look at some of @psychotiller enclosures on his website. I have one of his original ones, they are really good.

too much teasing?? @AbrownMN this is kinda what I’m thinking… all one piece of course, and rounded on the bottom for the deck.

Here’s the super cheap $0.99 IKEA Stodja box in progress, inspired by @Michaelinvegas. Got 10 to hack and experiment with since they’re so cheap.
