    Neat, its getting easier to do this. Factories are coming to everyone. So are you going to grab the opportunity? Just asking, are you going to manufacture large quantities or what.

    If it was a few years ago, I would do it since I had the means to do it...
    Right now, no. Just sharing so someone could do it...

    Edit: I'm not the guy who did the case I just found this and thought it would be good to share here...

    Nah, that'd be me. Nice of y'all to notice and read about it; thanks. I certainly is amazing how much progress has been made in one-off manufacturing.

    No mass-production is likely. I wrote the post in part to see if there was any interest in a hard-sided case like that, but the response has been underwhelming, even among friends

    It's just as well --- I'm headed out of the country, and away from my computer, for 6 or 9 months. It would have been an awkward time to chase such an opportunity.

    If anyone is interested, I'm happy to offer up the designs, and my notes so far as regards what ought to be changed in a second prototype. Pololu also has my permission to store and reproduce my order: Pololu - Quote 1J11073
