[IC] Aluminum Fullsized Filco Cases

9/18 Update:
This project is still in progress, but there won't be any updates until I can sort out proper requirements with this local shop. There's some weird back and forth going on with them so I'm not going to commit until I can figure out if they're even reasonable.

Have you made the CAD drawings of those?

I'm bringing the physical case to their shop. This is a small town place so I really need to get an idea of cost before I do anything else.

Which physical case? You can't just make an alu copy of the filco case, and you can't easily do a similar one either.. doing a standoff design like the stock case will be a PITA.

I'm not just having them copy the stock case. I'm going in to find out if they have the ability/tools to manufacture something similar in size and shape, I don't think they've done something like this before. After I meet up with them I'll sketch out the design I have in mind with them and go from there. Like I said the shop could go either way in terms of cost so I'm not making any commitments until after the meeting. The only real requirements I'm thinking of for the design is to make the bottom a bit deeper than stock. Not sure which way to go yet. I'll post an update tomorrow after the meeting. :)
