I started designing the Qazimodo in February and just got the first aluminum case from the manufacturer a couple days ago. Very happy with how it turned out.

    That’s about the price I was expecting, really does need to be at least a group buy to make sense! Or a tax refund :)

    Was there anything you have to do to translate the model from FDM plastic to the manufactured prototype? At $600 I’d be worried that I have snug plastic that becomes too loose or impossible to fit in a different material.

      Oh I was very worried that something wouldn’t fit right once I got the prototype; mostly the USB cutout. I did like 20 printed prototypes with little adjustments to the cutout until I was as confident as I could be, but I still wasn’t positive it would fit because of differing tolerances but thankfully my printer was pretty much spot on with what I got from the manufacturer.
