DaveFason Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 After searching and searching for a way to house the Storm controller better I took the plunge and put the first order for an ALL aluminum Storm case. The cases will be milled from a block of billet aluminum and then anodized black. The back will feature an easy way to hang on a stand/wall. Pictures to come and will be machined this week! I will be selling these for $24.95 for PRE-ORDER. Normal price will $32.95 Please let me know if you are interested. Ship date of Jan 16th! 3D renderings are in. https://flic.kr/p/q7BwBn'>https://flic.kr/p/q7BwBn'>STORMCASE by https://www.flickr.com/people/63309413@N05/'>NanoBoxReef, on Flickr https://flic.kr/p/q7urXq'>https://flic.kr/p/q7urXq'>STORMCASEBACK by https://www.flickr.com/people/63309413@N05/'>NanoBoxReef, on Flickr Link to comment

basser1 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Is this an easy swap from the plastic case? Link to comment
DaveFason Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Is this an easy swap from the plastic case? Extremely. Just pull knob off, unscrew the four screws, screw down Storm into new case and attach top! -Dave Link to comment

DaveFason Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 This is a very nice design. Gonna paint these babies too? Anodize these. I can paint as well but want these to be extra sturdy as these move around a lot I have found -Dave Link to comment

mechishark7 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 How are you going to machine that square hole on the top? I thought it was impossible to machine square holes Link to comment
DaveFason Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 How are you going to machine that square hole on the top? I thought it was impossible to machine square holes With a "laser beam" The corners will have a small radius, however I will double check. -Dave Link to comment

bdevillier19 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 How are you going to machine that square hole on the top? I thought it was impossible to machine square holes Actually someone has developed a cutting tool that is triangular in shape and rotates in a method similar to the Mazda rotary engine. It leaves sharp 90* inside corners. It is impressive to watch. Link to comment

It leaves sharp 90* inside corners. It is impressive to watch. I have actually seen that, I don't think it uses a standard tooling mount like that used in most CNC machines though So that leaves laser beams and broaching as the only viable options Or just add a slight fillet to the edges like stated ^^^^^ Link to comment

All sorts of shapes can be done. Here is a video that shows one in slow motion. Pretty cool. http://gizmodo.com/5849810/how-the-hell-can-this-magical-square-hole-drilling-machine-works Link to comment

Its funny back in high school shop class I was told there was a tool that cuts square holes in wood. This is exactly how I thought it worked back then but it turns out it was just a square plunger that gouged the square out lol, not nearly as elegant as this Link to comment
