Since the prototyping is finishing up on the Skeldon-GH I'm also working on this case. Ace will work for poker/GH60

Sending out for prototype this week and will have a quicker turn around since this is only 1 piece

Very simple and yet very aesthetic. I love the slope on the back of the case.

Any images of the inside? I'm wondering if it'll have only standoffs like Imsto's case or standoffs and ridges like Treble's case. Regardless of which it has, this case looks beautiful and I can't wait to hear more!

PS - I can't believe this thread isn't getting more attention!

Acetrak · « **Reply #10 on:** Wed, 10 April 2013, 16:54:49 »

They're not added yet, but they'll be standoffs like imsto and Duck cases.

Ah so this is why you asked me for standoff positions. I'll PM it to you as soon as I source the correct standoff and redraw my case.

Are they going to be screw-on or permanently attached (milled around standoff locations)?

Acetrak · « **Reply #23 on:** Wed, 10 April 2013, 21:15:37 »

Milled around and permanent standoffs, mostly because there's no integrated plate with this tray style.

The cost is a valid concern. But people have built lots of stuff out of brass, and for a long time. The fact that you can easily nick it or dent it could give it a bit of character as well... I'm just picturing the case after a few years of use... looking sort of old and you know, antiqued. Would look very cool with some zinc / pewter caps.

If this can't happen here, then someone with some 3D design skills should definitely make a brass QFR / Filco case IC.

I can only imagine the shipping rates though... it would cost me somewhere around 60 bucks to ship a brass thing of this size to NY via USPS.

boost · « **Reply #48 on:** Thu, 11 April 2013, 19:17:40 »

So, due to the size of the case we would need 21lbs @ $6 per pound. Cnc time will also go up since the rpm of the bit need to be slowed down and needs to be cut slower.

Looks like I might be going to route of the brass and limited.

Keep $280 +/- in mind
