Hi everyone,
While I think the Open ReVolt project has been fantastic, I've always wanted a case for it that was just a little bit cooler-looking.
I just saw a recent blog entry by somebody who is a member of the same workshop co-op as I that I thought would work perfect for this!
Here's his blog entry -

In this case, he was just making a box, but if I applied the same idea to make a box that was just missing the bottom, and cut square holes in the ends for the bus-bars, it would make a great case for a controller! (It would be fun to show off the guts, and much easier to see the trouble-shooting LEDs!)
This box was made with the tabs accidentally too big. Since I have access to a laser cutter (I still don't know how to use it!) I could perhaps do the work to design a case and THEN MAKE SURE I SAVE MY WORK! I could make extras to sell as a low-cost kit and/or share the file so that other people could download that and make it themselves on their local laser.
I was also thinking that it would be VERY cool to have the Open ReVolt logo laser etched on the top of the case!
