I'm currently live streaming as I work on the case. If you have a twitch account please chime in and give me some feedback. Would really like to get some community based modifications into the design.
-------------------------------------------------------
STATUS
I just moved from CAD design to prototyping. I've been working on this case (or derivatives) for about 2-3 years.
3D Printing has really started to come of age in the last year or two. Print quality and cost have improved exponentially.
UPDATE - Dec 8, 2017
Getting very very close to a final version. Just a few more issues to deal with.... Guessing I need just 1 more prototype.
UPDATE - Dec 6, 2017
Prototype #2 went together well and resulted in a lot of good modifications. I used some of the orange parts from Prototype #1. I wanted to share a few pictures before Prototype #2 gets cannibalized for Prototype #3.
UPDATE - Nov 20, 2017
Some pictures of the first FUNCTIONAL prototype. The aesthetics will be cleaned up a LOT. I used the colors and hardware (screws) that I had on hand.
I've been designing the case in Onshape. Here is a 3D rendering taking directly from my CAD export. I should have prototype pictures online in the next day or two.
Looks for feedback (positive and negative!).
