metal box. Not magnetic. It looks like a pot.

Written by the husband of the account holder for whom this was purchased. HF field strength meter for radio amateurs. Easy to drill, easy to machine, the lid has some alignment issues but not a problem for the non-perfectionist. Barely big enough to install a counter (other than having to trim the back of the counter to fit). Would be good for numerous electronics projects that require RF shielding.

Pros
  • Protection class IP54 (or IP66 if a gasket was also purchased)
Cons
  • Crumpled

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…

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

The box is nice green and is holding up well (it was dropped.

I've made two fashion e-cigarettes with this box and still get compliments.The box is a nice green color and is holding up well (it's been dropped a couple of times and still has no noticeable chips or scratches.) They came with the box. They didn't mess up the finish and helped a bit hold metal shavings.There's a 3D printed battery sled, there's even more room.That means it still tilts when sitting upright like all Hammond boxes do, but it does will still fit.I won't go into measurements…

Pros
  • in (4.67" x 3.68" x 1.18") mm (119 mm x 94 mm x 30 mm)
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
