Scratch Build – In Progress Rasberry Pi Competition: epA eparG

@Cheaps - I mean you're funny.

 

really interesting concept, am curious how it continues,

keep em updates comn cowboy, aint too bad ma texan, donya think

 

@Abbas-it - No. Sounds more like the guy that owns the local Chinese restaurant.


-The case requires feet of an appropriate size, so I used this 1/16" thick rubber sheet.

-Now this is what you call modding by the seat of your pants! Don't try this at home kiddies. There are places a running drill shouldn't be, and within inches of your junk drawers is one of them.

-I'm in the process of making holes for all the hardware here. I put a big countersink on the audio and coax holes, and tapered the insides.

-Now, some might say that my network cable hole is the wrong shape...

-But the truth is that I switch rigs so often that the stupid retaining clip is actually a hindrance.

-Oh! the sink workstation! I'm totally going retro here. The hacksaw is a necessity on extruded plexi because it's the only thing that cuts slow enough to not melt it.

 

-I'm using ALL the tools! This was only used enough to score the inside cut, and yes it melts extroooded plexi.

-Here I glued the feet on. You can see I filed the card slot pretty too.

-And here's some final... Wait. screw Putobucket! I have space on BitTech.

-Funny lookin' Hdmi slot too. I don't have one to test with. It can all wait until I get an actual Pi...someday. (Oh yeah. I'm THAT cheap!)

-Leaving the inside rough was deliberate. There's a lot more play on color that way.



-Stupid UV filtering! I just noticed all the purpleness is missing. You can't tell the blue from the purple, (In this case, the other blue.)

-There's SOME visible here. I still have a month, maybe I'll try natural light to get the right colors.

 

Cheaps is that your favourite eating out establishment, and of course you went ahead and drilled in that position eh.

Really nice results, look forward to those better light photos

 

The cheapest soft jaw clamp on the market. It has its downsides, though...

 

Looks grat Cheaps. GJ

 

More pictures of a box.

Thanks, Pranja.


-Ooh, I shouldn't have wiped the greasy fingerprints off on my shirt.

I managed to get the purple, but the greenish tinge to the clear stuff still isn't there.

-Looks pretty rough under the microscope, huh?


-There you go. Now it seems I have to come up with 100 whole words to describe what little I've done. -Maybe an apology? -Not so much because I think I'll win, but so BitTech will have some contestant material after Phame joined in.
There's still time to do something wacky for the comp, everyone! Show some enthusiasm.

 

I forgot the max resolution was 800p.
Also, for size reference, that's an 80mm fan this monster is perched on.

 

All the cases look huge in the pics, love the purple/blue or is it Blue/Purple

 

Good looking case Cheaps.
