<p>Found a ready-made enclosure for the BeagleBone: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:82363/#files</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All I'll need to do is make it a tad taller to accomodate the cape board and jacks... Gotta love open source!</p>

<p>It's for a BeagleBone-based project. Box will need to be worn on a waist belt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I plan to have rounted top/bottom plates with tongue-in-groove walls. All glued/welded, except cover which would be secured using machine screws like this: <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Anything-Using-Acrylic-and-Machine-Sc/">http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Anything-Using-Acrylic-and-Machine-Sc/</a></p>

<div dir="ltr">Power depends on the acrylic thickness and type. You can figure that out on a small test piece in a few minutes.
<div> </div>
<div>Use methylene chloride as weld (not glue).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Get acrylic at cannus plastics. They and others listed here: <a href="http://inventorartist.com/resources/">http://inventorartist.com/resources/</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>For tolerance it depends on what the box if for and how you will join the pieces.</div>

<p>I need to make a box for a project.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If one of you has experience (or can point me to the info), I'd like to know</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1- Laser settings for cutting and engraving clear and black acrylic</p>
<p>2- Glue to use to join sides permanently</p>
<p>3- Tolerances for tongue-and-slots</p>
<p>4- Where to get 1/8" acrylic sheets</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p> </p>
