anyone made a case use Lego brick?
« on: Sat, 30 November 2013, 16:39:10 »
I am thinking of making a 60% or 75% case using Lego brick, that could be fun.

Anyone did this before?

Thanks

I made a case for my GH60 with help from a tutorial somewhere. Ah, I remember now! It was Halverson's guide. Thanks again GirlShark :)

Do you guys think this would work for an ergodox case? Seems like a neat little alternative to the normal acrylic and aluminum cases.

That's what I was thinking.

And a lego palm rest!

I wonder how much it would cost to get all the bricks. Makes me regret not keeping my legos from when I was younger.

Not really. Pick a brick has these priced at 0.10 each and for example, Halverson's used about $40.6 worth of pieces. Not expensive mind you, but not cheap enough to be counted as "not too much"
