After watching it I decided to use commodity enclosures with custom milling and avoid injection molding for now.
- theroot 10y agoThis video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMjtmsr3CqA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMjtmsr3CqA was a series of revelations as to how injection molding works.
- Klinky 10y agoAnother interesting resource is "Guerrilla guide to CNC machining, mold making, and resin casting" @ http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/gcnc/ http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/gcnc/ How did you find your commodity enclosures? It seems like there are a lot of random manufacturers out there making ugly enclosures.
- louprado 10y agoI prefer Takachi enclosure. Some of their plastic is translucent so your LEDs will shine through the enclosure. You can see an example here: https://hackaday.io/project/6357/gallery#67d3556e38f0b46c486510fcf0848ae5 https://hackaday.io/project/6357/gallery#67d3556e38f0b46c486...
