Fortunately there's enough demand from DIY and small-business effects makers that a good selection of different Hammond-like boxes is cheap and readily available online even as single units, at least if you're willing to drill your own apertures. Maybe USD6-USD12 or so per box isn't near the unit cost but it's low enough not to worry about until you need at least a few ten of them. If you can accept something lighter but less stompable you can also get similar plastic enclosures for even less from electronics suppliers.
- Animats 9y agoYes, there are lots of off the shelf enclosures. I've been using Hammond aluminum extrusions with laser-cut black acrylic end plates to fit the connectors. The result is a nice black box.[1] Many Arduino/Rasperry Pi type boards have connectors on every edge. It's hard to box those things. That's what motivates these two-plate "cases". If all the connectors are on one edge, it's easier to package the unit. [1] https://github.com/John-Nagle/ttyloopdriver https://github.com/John-Nagle/ttyloopdriver
