Review on πŸ”§ Hammond 1590BB Unpainted Aluminum Enclosure - Durable and Versatile Enclosure for Custom Electronics Projects by Doug Virden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

BBM APPROVED

is a box. Just kidding, I'll tell you a little more about it. It's Hammond so you know it's good quality. The factory paint is very thin and scratches easily. Make sure you put a few coats of clear coat on it before touching it. I use them to build my box mods. I have a mod I put together on a Hammond 1590BB that has been through hell and back. It's riddled with scratches and chips from falls, kicks, steps, runs and more. However, the box itself is still structurally sound. I could repaint it but why hide its history.

Pros
  • Lap joint design provides protection against dust ingress and water spray. Also offers improved EMI/RFI shielding.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
