Guest awarner [MVP] Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 I like the idea but it may not be possible :? because of battery shape etc :) Problem is to design and manufacture a case from scratch would not be cheap also what size of order quantity would you need to actually make it happen? If it's a becomes a reality I would be interested :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Titanium would be the dogs danglers 8) Do you realise the price of titanium? :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin@Home Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 I'm a CNC part programmer. I once missed a decimal point in one of my programs which scrapped off a billet of titanium approx 2m square by 50mm thick. My boss at the time gave me a fairly good indication of the price of titanium !!! Been making titanium damper brackets for an aerospace company and the billets look just about the right size !!!!!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest morpheus2702 Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Without the schematics for the front panel it is difficult to gauge the cost of manufacture of each front panel - and therefore the required production run. At a guess, it would take a run of 5-10k units and delivery in one drop to a single distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squall Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 ive been thinking about silicon injected rubber mouldings. you could cast the spv's existing cover in clay or someting slightly softer, cut it in to and cook it, then just fill it up with rubber silicon. this should then give a pretty good fit, and without even needing a drawing. the rubber dries fairly solid, and after painting i doubt you would notice the difference. i might try n buy stuff tonight, although im going away for 2 weeks on fri. could do with a sacrifical cover to check it works ok though!

Guest Saif Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 the rubber moulding idea seems to be the most viable for low volume production runs. I wonder what a rubber case would be like... very interesting. what this would also mean is that you would be able to change the colours required very quickly and not have to manufacture hundreds before you could change the product.... I might look into this and see what I can come up with.... might prove to be a very good cottage industry... hmmmmmm.... anybody interested in a rubber case? I'll get back once I have destroyed my phone...... will report findings after visiting the local model/art shops... laters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Crispy Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Hows this thing going? ... Are you REALLY going to sell new covers? Are you gonna sell custom ones? ... If yes, then in which colors? How much will they cost? Where can you ship? If it helps, I'm sure you will be granted a lifelong Mocado plus membership 4 free for doing this for the community! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
