Now that I received mine it's time to play. I will do a DIY but the case below deserves a second look. I think of getting one. IMHO this one is of the best I have seen and deserves a thread starter.

It works out to about R30-R35 for the material and R80 per minute for the laser cutting.
Will let you know when we've had the materials cut how much it cost in the end.

That's a bit subjective? they could play with their software to make the cutting take an hour, surely?

I concur.
So in short you want it to be under 2 minutes... anything more and it more than justifies either a) DIY or b) plastic enclosure from ModMyPi.

Where, what, when? Picture please.

I tried one out of fake lego version blocks but was not impressed. Will rather make one out of an Alum block or something else original.
