This is laser cut acrylic case for the Gameduino board.
The top and bottom cover are made from 3mm thick acrylic. The four side walls are 10mm. The reason for thick side walls so that it can be drill and tap. A 3.3mm hole is first drilled follow by a M4 tap.
After all the side walls have been threaded the bottom panel is screwed in, together with the Gameduino and Arduino board.
Next the top panel with joystick and two button fixed.
Wire the joystick and push buttons to the Gameduino.
Plug in the USB, audio and VGA cable.
Time to play.

Sorry the case its not available for purchase. You can make your own, the files are available for download.
Do you have a preferred source for the Acrylic?
I get materials from this place http://www.hobartlaserables.com/
Great looking case! Thanks for the pointer to your acrylic provider in West Malling. Do you do the laser cutting in house?
Yes, we have our own laser cutting machine with a working area of 680 x 400mm.
Thanks – that would make the construction of that fab case a little easier
I checked with Hobart today as well – and they can undertake the cutting as well. The additional cost depends on the time it takes to cut the sections – and they charge on the basis of ‘table time’. Very worthwhile for a great looking project I think; if my projects could end up looking as professional I’d be very happy. Thanks for the inspiration…I think there are lots of electronics and amateur radio enthusiasts out there who would love to have such professional looking projects.
I really like the acrylic cases you’ve done for the Raspberry Pi.
However someone said to me “I wouldn’t put mine anywhere neat that unless I knew it was made of anti-static material.” Habve you experienced any static issues with your acrylic material, or considered using AC300 coated acrylic?
