Cheap Harbor Freight Case for MBITX


 

Just place my order for a MBITX and have been looking for an enclosure. I spotted in my workshop a Harbor Freight plastic ammo box that looks like it will do the job. With the lid open, the box is 6 inches deep,9 3/4 wide and 4 1/2inches high. Price $6.99 (even cheaper when there's a coupon). <>

This 'pelican-style' case is also nice - I'd love to figure out a front panel that snaps over the bottom half of the case (remove all pick-and-pluck)...

The 1800 is now 9.99 with a online coupon.? Great price.

I like the ammo case, probably could put some batteries at the bottom.

Make a front panel sealed under the lid.?

Be great to toss in the car for camping?

I've been working on a plastic one that fits both the Pelican 1150 and the Apache 1800. I actually bought the Pelican without the pick-n-pluck.

I still need to thin it some since I found it can actually be used on the top as well if you're not putting anything real thick in it. Some LCD displays will fit in the top with a plastic panel.

I guess I'm lucky I have access to a water cutter. All I have to do is draw the template and give it to a friend of mine

Wow, ordered on the 15/12 and received via India post.
I ordered on the 16/12 and haven't even had a tracking number yet.
Fingers crossed the wait won't be too much longer.

Quite a few cities have maker spaces now. You can for a nominal donation use all sorts of tools.?
