Hi everyone!
First of all I want to thanked everyone who has supported this project so far. Now lets talk updates.
- Raw material is secured and there wont be a increase in price.
- Stands for the case have arrived.
- Added the total weight of the case for anyone that was wondering and its heavy boi
- I have also decided that there wont be a logo in the top pc maybe in the bottom but probably not
- Currently working on the website. Should be done by the end of the week.
- Pending New photoshoot with stand
- Target GB date 10/01/22.
Sale format is going to be FCFS at MOQ 50.

if you have any other feedback please let me know 





Revisions and Idea

The main idea for the project was to learn fusion360, but also to make an artisan case that I personally like.
Many artisan cases rely on magnets to hold the cover on top and I just didnt like that. So this is my approach. My first Idea was to make a case with a rail system, but it became too complicated and it was way to expensive. (shoutout to rmendis because he was able to make it!)

V1:
The idea was to make a somewhat gasket mount system to prevent from the acrylic to hit the alu, but after making the first prototype I realized that It wasnt necesary



Explored view of V1



V1.1 and current: I removed the gasket and added feet.




Specs
  • Alu 6061
  • Weight: 2.6lb or 1.1kg
  • CNC Acrylic Top
  • Bead Blasting 150#
  • Rubber Feet
  • 7x7 Artisan Box
  • 19cm x 19cm x 3.1cm
  • Max artisan height: 19.85mm
  • 19cm x 19cm x 3.1cm
  • Lead Time 3 months



Price (8/05/22)

MOQ 50 will cost $160 per unit.

This new quote was just gave it to me yesterday. They also told me the there was a price drop in terms of raw material which is good! Im pretty happy with this price. Let me know what you guys think



Colors and Logo

Black




e-White





Red





Logo





Free Stand



After some feedback about the stand. Ill be able to source it from china at no extra cost! This is the same stand that I used for the previous picture. I need to do some testing to see whats the max angle but easy could do up to 45 degrees







Acknowledgments
  • To Mr. Bingo for doing the renders
  • To Digidier and Pensa73 for helping me with fusion360

How does someone pick this up? The majority of the grippable edge is the acrylic cover, but that doesn't seem to be attached to the base in any way.

Well you just grabbed from the bottom. Unless you put it 90 degree the cover doesn't fall. I have a picture where I put it in a stand and it works just fine. I'll reply with it tomorrow morning.

Maybe you can use some magnets to keep the cover in place more securely?

It's very clean and I like the size. Any idea about how steep of an angle it can get without the caps falling off? Definitely'd be a plus from me and a reason to switch off my current bongo cat case if it displays well at an angle.

I would say around 45 but I can do more testing in a bit. Ill be also providing the stand for free! Im able to source it out from china at no extra cost from you guys. Thanks for the interest!
