UPDATE: Looks like I finally got this thing right. See page 4 for details. I'll try to snap some better quality pictures as soon as I borrow a decent camera
Hello guys,
Some time ago I've made myself a 51x lunchbox, but it's starting to fill up so I guess it's time to make few more units! Since I will be making at least two more it makes sense to go for one external PSU. Last time, fitting a power supply into my lunchbox turned to be a huge PITA as well. Since I wanna keep size of the boxes more or less the same I will have 8 slots per box, times two boxes should be enough for some years to come (providing you stop coming up with awesome 500 projects).
Also, last time I received plenty of messages asking if I'm planning to sell parts, but at the time I had too many things on my plate and besides, I've never designed it to be other-people-friendy so never made more pieces. This time I wanna give you a chance to speak up. If anyone is interested I'll try to design the lunchbox so that it's easier to ship and way nicer to look at . I think 10 pieces would make it worthwhile and possible to offer at 100eu/$130 or less. I also don't wanna go into huge batches and turn it into commercial thing.
Let me know what you think. Previous one for reminders below, as stated before, I plan to make this batch prettier - trying to go for stainless steel. If nobody is interested in getting one I just turn this thread into build log.
cheers,
Michal
