Hi Jono

My case has 5 PCBs in it in different orientations and types of mounting as well as fixings for mounting onto tripods (technically for injection moulding but work fine when heated and pressed into plastic).

I have looked at injection moulding but the starting costs put me off quite a bit.
And vacuum forming and off the self cases wont work because of the requirements of the internal layout.


The case is basically two flat 15-16mm sheets pushed together with their internals milled out for the PCB, sensors and connectors.
Works out at around £5 per case using Acetal and £1 using Polypropylene. So material cost is not a problem with these solutions.

This is why I am aiming for milling because it should give me the quality people are after with a product as well as it being at a low price point similar to the 3D printing solution.


Unless if I am missing something here? xD
