I haven't experimented yet with heat bending. I've seen a few projects done with it that looked pretty good.
I guess what I like about cutting flat pieces with a machine is that everything will be nice and square and clean. If I start bending material, it brings in the human factor - me.
One other thing I was thinking would be nice about just going with straight laser-cut is that all the parts are FLAT. I could mail a flat case to Paul or whoever wants one, and they could just assemble/glue/caulk and be done.
One gripe that I had about shipping the controller is that it exactly DOESN'T fit into one of the post office flat rate boxes. It would be nice to design a controller case that fits in a flat cardboard envelope!
