That looks good!! Is the extrusion painted on outside, and what size?
The one we posted is a 110mm by 50mm extrusion that is in two parts, top and bottom that slide together.
Best,
After I re-sized the "bumpers" I think the looks are good. Question for you: you don't show any front or back panels attached yet. In your design, does the panel go under the screw tabs or over them? This has to do with another design idea I am thinking about.
Were you planning on using any slip-proof material on the bottom bumpers? The plastic is not a great material for feet, so I plan on using some thin adhesive rubber on the bottom of the plastic bumpers which would sit on the table. Or you could stick-on rubber feet to the case, as long as they were higher than the bumper height.
Thanks.
The front panel will reside under the "bumpers" as shown, this hides the cover plate seams. The cover plate will be aluminum with a label, or screened printed aluminum, or plastic (multi-color 3D print for prototypes), or even an aluminum or FR4 PCB type, we haven't decided yet for either prototypes or production, and will hold a push button switch, a pair of pots, and some LEDs.
These 3D prints are intended for the 1st few prototypes of a production product. The production product will use a more "rubbery" and "flexible" bumper of silicone or similar material, as it will experience very rugged handling in use, not lab use!!
Edit: This "Bumper" concept may carry over to another project and having an aluminum cover that is in electrical contact with the extrusion provides a Faraday shield which is necessary for this other project. Seems like an ideal means for a simple, low cost, rugged enclosure for electronics & PCBs.
Best,
