Hey guys, I made this cardboard case for my filco and I thought I'd show you.

It's certainly a conversation piece whenever anyone comes over. I made it as a test, I plan on making my next case out of plywood and then after that hardwood.

:D Unfortunately it'd actually take quite a bit of time to do it if I wanted to make the edges cleaner, unless I found a better way to do it than using a box cutter.

Cardboard can be laser cut......just saying.

There's a place near me that does that. This needs to become the ultimate budget GH60 budget case. Super budget version, download a template, print it out, do it yourself. Less budget, but still budget option, do a group buy laser cut version and offer it with a custom laser engraving option. Then either ship out the pieces or assemble it and seal it in some sort of resin.

That's some case! Rustic, unique, and a real eye-catcher :p
-
I've had a similar idea to apply this to my Pure
I've got a bunch of chunky cardboard and might make something tonight lol.
Good work

Now let's see the duct tape tkl or full sized case.

Hey, don't be dissing on the cardboard case! It's got feelings!
But imagine if you did cut it extremely neatly and then used duck tape all over in some interesting color. It could actually look like a "real" plastic case from a distance. I rather like the cardboard look though.
-
Definitely like the cardboard look. It would be cool to have a cleaner cut one and coat it in a clear resin.

Ahem... just gonna be sneaky and leave this here: [IC] Custom Lasering Service (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45377.0)
Let me know if anyone is actually interested in one ;)

Nub, the ultimate GH60 case is no case. :P
Just beast mode it: Plate, PCB, Switches, Caps. We ain't got no time for cases.

You guys ain't got nothing on the case I have in the works. But this cardboard def has the broke geek thing going on.
