Where is the best place to find parts for DIY box mods?

[audiopistol]

Specifically the box itself. I'm trying to find a website that sells metal magnetic boxes that are similar to the Dreambox or the Raptor box mod. Also, is there any chance I can find a place that sells pre-cut wooden box "shells" that I can wire up and build to my own liking? Any help on this would be much appreciated. I'm also looking for the best/cheapest place to buy DIY parts (510 connectors, springs, switches, etc). Thank you guys!

They are Hammond Boxes. You can get them on mouser.

Thank you! Is it wood or metal?

Hammond are metal and/or plastic.

You might try something like this.. Small Wooden Boxes Craft Kit (makes 12) : S&S Worldwide
or this Wood Box with Removable Lid

You are just full of good ideas! I think I've decided to make my own wooden box just so I can get the exact dimensions I want. But I do have a friend that asked me to build him a metal box. Do you by any chance have a product number for the most popular Hammond box that is ordered from Mouser for dual 18650 (not running a chip. it's going to be "mechanical")?

1590B
1590B Hammond Manufacturing | Mouser

Or just go to mouser and type 1590B in the search to see what else they have as far as colors and coatings

Thank you! If I wanted to color this myself to make something custom... what kind of paint or product should I use to put my custom logo on it?

 

[SupplyDaddy]

Right now, carbon fiber wraps seem the way to go. I personally do not have info on them. You can also hook up with a paint shop for custom work.
BTW, these would be "unregulated", not mechanical.

I think Mamu gets all those sexy boxes in unusual shapes and sizes for her famous DNA and Nivel-based mods from [edited] (without the spaces - ECF filters out that web site for some unknown reason)

But be warned, visiting that website is a good way to lose an entire evening, just browsing through their asoundingly large inventory.... ;-)

I am also curious about this mysterious website. Could you PM me, as well, or give some other clue? Thanks!

Man, I definitely want to attempt a box mod in the future... I'm already spending so much money on this "hobby" though that I just can't justify it right now. I already have 1 VV/VW and 3 Mechanical Mods. Good luck with your venture building a box mod.

Yes, make your own! I did a few weeks of researching before I made the decision to follow through with making my own. They're really not all that hard to make. Just time consuming. But you definitely should look into it because it's sooooo much cheaper to do it yourself. AND... if anything goes wrong, no need to ship it anywhere. You fix it yourself!
