Building a proper flightcase for a Cerberus-derived delta 3D printer. It ought to be flexible enough to house both the newer -printed- model and the original model in ways that even rough treatment will likely be survived gloriously.

Challenges:

  • Find ways to keep weight limited so it can still be carried by a single person.
  • Determine how to best design inside of case to accommodate the different variations of the cerberus.
  • Find some way to cut foam into arbitrary shapes
  • Find affordable sources for support foam and 'hang en sluitwerk' plus wheels.

Challenges met:

  • Cheap non-birch 9 mm plywood; good compromise between price, sturdyness and weight.
  • Found wheels and butterfly-lock-thingies in my attic.
  • Ordered pre-cut 'hard foam' at some shop, so possibly avoided cutting it myself.
  • Protection will basically be just a tight fit inside between 20mm hard foam plates
