I got the inspiration to do this mod from d9mel. Thanks for sharing, mel!
I found it to be an easy-peasy stress-free build. Well, compared to the Lexi-DNA20D it's easy-peasy and stress-free. No rectangular cutout to do, very little putzing with the OLED and cable, and all work is done with the entire front of the case open for easy access during the build.
The case is a Hammand aluminum enclosure 1590ABK - 3.6" high, 1.5" wide, and 1.1" depth (92mm x 38mm x 31mm). It's coated with a black matte finish that is very durable.
Like mel, I replaced the lid with a clear cover, but I used a piece of Lexan polycarbonate. Lexan is easy to work with - no cracking or chipping at the edges when cutting and is a bit thicker (2.4mm) than acrylic. I used a dremel heavy duty cutting wheel to cut and shape the cover.
Milo has 2, 1200mAh 25C li-poly batts for a total of 2400mAh, 60A and Evolv's micro-USB charging board.
Here's the pdf how-to: Milo-DNA20D
It's small and fits in my hand really well...
I sucked at getting all the bubbles from the tint, so after 3 tries I said the heck with tinting, but took a pic before trashing the tint. If I do another one, I'll get a black transparent piece of Lexan.
