Home made case

[Messiah Khan]

Ah, ok. I asked, as im going to redo my mobo tray on the android project. This time im using thicker alu, and I want to tap it correctly rather than using a nut on the back of the tray. AFAIK the tap is a UNC6 tap, but the cheapest I can find one for is about £25

Thats the prob with ally, you need something thats gonna bite well. Otherwise m4 standoffs and m3 insert would do and for little £.

Could you not just drill the hole for the standoff a little smaller than the thread and then just screw them in with a battery driver?. If the standoffs are harder than the Alu it could work and would save you a fair bit of cash, might be worth trying on a spare bit of Alu.

Yeah I had considerd this. I havent got a battery driver though. I might give it a go using brute force. I didn't do it before as the mobo tray was steel, and the brass standoff would loose if I tried it.

Gotta say this is quite an interesting thread, nice workmanship m8

All I can say is you have more patience than me, no way I could be bothered to make my own case.

 

[Messiah Khan]

Sorry for the large bumpage, but David230 have you got any more updates on this?

£25 so glad i didn't report it to my school when i snapped theirs trying to tap an aluminium block!

i'd love to see some updates as my next case i'm planning to use aluminium.
