Good Enclosure for the TGSL EDU Board + Battery

[BKY1337]

Hi,

can someone show me a good looking enclosure for the TGSL EDU Board?
I need to make a new Enclosure,Rod and Coil for my metal detector.

Chinese aluminium box. Welded aluminium tubes as stem, wooden stick (carbon/fiberglass is lighter...)

EDIT: Batteries will be substituted by Li-ION 18650 with charger and all will be included into the box (waiting for delivery from PCR). Not flying wires anymore

Look at Hammond enclosures, they are very usable products.

Do you have access to a 3D printer? If so shortly after Xmas I will be design a new enclose for my TGSL with 3 or 4 18650 battery pack id be more then happy to share the files, as for the rest, I'll be using the same route as I have with the other detectors I made, look in the complied MMP threads to get an idea( ,http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showt...eotech-members ) I used a mostly 3d printed parts with 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch PVC pipe for the two parts of the rod, As for the coil seeing how it was my first VLF I bought a coil from Donald (a geotech member) His coils are really nice and work great.

Hi. I use a Kradex Z4 enclosure "https://www.tme.eu/gb/details/z-4/enclosures-with-panel/kradex/z4/"
It's big enough for the board and a 11.1 volt 860mAh Lipo battery

Thank's for the fast answers. I want a good looking and robust detector. I have already built mine with the help of my Anet A8 (3D-Printer).
But the layers from the 3D Print makes the parts very fragile. My coil connector broke.

Im very interested in the 3D printing files anyways.

I built mine without space for the 8xAA Batteries, so i mounted the battery pack with duct tape directly at the rod. Everything was very fragile and wobbly.
I want to fix that over the winter.

I hope that i will find a good looking solution. I also need to make my Coil new, or buy one from somebody. Its too heavy and doesnt look good and it has a stiff cable from a fire alarm.

I also need to fix my PCB first, because i think i have shortened the circuit.
