Where can I get a 60% case like this?

[njbair]

I came across this old pic in the "Post Your Poker" thread:



I know it's not much to go on but can anyone tell me who makes this case and where I can get one? Or is this a custom job?

could it be https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47067.0 ?

That looks like it. Thanks, although now that I see it's branded for a Poker I'm no longer interested.

Maybe I'll have to try my hand at making my own case.

there are alot of alu cases that dont have a ton of branding on them, pexon has a 15% sale on his black 60%, on the higher end there is the tex and a couple others that i cant think of atm.

I've got a TEX in blue on order for a different project. But I was really hoping to grab an orange aluminum case in that "wedge" shape.

I can't say I've ever seen an orange aluminum case other than the tex cases.

I worked as a CNC toolmaker for 8 years and I still have a good relationship with the shop owner. I can probably score some free machine time. As I recall, he sources 6061-T6 aluminum for a price roughly equal to the stock volume in inches * 0.4, so I can get 1" x 5" x 12" bar stock for about $25. I can take measurements off of the TEX case once it arrives. Machining the pocket should be a cakewalk since it's basically all in the same plane. And since it's a one-off, I can cut the wedge shape manually. Throw on some small chamfers, glass-bead finish, then have him sit on it until he has a customer order for something orange anodized and that part will basically be free.

This actually sounds kind of fun!

I'm fairly sure that's a Duck Mini V1 case. It was a custom and is kind of hard to find now.

Sounds like you have it made!

I definitely will share, but it will be a while. I can't do anything until the TEX case arrives for reference.

Hmmmm... Could that be the FMJ version 1 case from Feng's recent group buy?

Sorry, I saw Capt's reply. I was just suggesting it as an option since someone in is selling it in te classified section. Very nice looking case regardless
