LaserCut Pine Enclosure

[Macrois]

Hi,

I made a enclosure for the board


I made some adjustment to stabilize the structure.

So there is the plan (svg and dxf files) : https://github.com/Macrois/Pine64Enclosure

Tools:
Laser cutting machine (80w, cut with 80% power and 1000mm/min speed)
MDF 3 millimeter thickness (i guess no problem with acrylic)

That is just straight up beautiful. Very good job.

Very nice work and thank you for sharing the files and the info on what equipment you used, now where did my credit card go....

Great design and the .DXF was very easy on my laser cut machine.  I used 3mm black Plexi and glued with plexi solvent.  Great results!

First of all I just want to say thank you for sharing your design with us.
I downloaded and used the .dxf file as a template.
A lot of changes were made.

Kind of pleased with how it turned out.
This is the first real "creation" on my new (and first) lasercutter.

Due to the limits on the attachments I had to make another reply to this topic.
Here is a photo of he hinged lid on the casing....

All these pictures was taken before the case had ben "glued" together.

@Tarjei85: are those antennae?!

How's your WiFi reception?

You are correct. Made my own two-way-splitter (the t-splitter was to big) and connected them both... 

The wifi reception is awsome
Picked them of an ASUS router I dont use any more

Nicely done Tarjei, and I like the look with the antennas, too! How did you do your own splitter? It appears to be hidden below the WiFi module. Was that pretty simple to do? Thanks.

Thank you. Here is a crappy illustration on how i did it. (When I had it all soldered i covered it in a shrinking-tube to be sure not to mess up anything with any uncovered connections)

Sorry about the crappy illustration. At work right now, and I only had access to MSPaint
