CPG Display Case 2.0

This is the 2.0 release of my design for a display case for models and miniatures, incorporating a track to hold LEDs and a cut out to feed the cable behind the box.

The shelves and front from the original are interchangeable (the front actually didn't change at all)

An AMS is not required for this as each build plate is in 1 colour, and construction is relatively straight forward and apart from glue you will need 8 5mmx2mm magnets to hold the door in place, a clear Perspex sheet 2mm thick and 188 mm square.

The parts go together as per the below diagram:

1. The front of the cover has a lip to hold the Perspex window, the back of the cover has 8 pins for alignment, simply glue in place holding the sheet of acrylic.
2. There are 4 magnet holes on the back of the front cover - I have found the a bit of gentle force and friction will hold the magnets in place, similarly the main body has matching holes for magnets, again friction will hold these, just make sure to get the polarity correct so that the front cover does stick to the body
3. I then run the LEDs around the inside of the main frame before attaching the back, allowing the cable to be fed out.
4. The back again has aligning pegs, I used some "No More Nails" and a couple of clamps to permanently attach the back to the body, I would recommend a strong glue that you are happy with, particularly if you are mounting to the wall
5. Print and insert the shelves you want - these are tight by design but should also be removable for re-arranging or changing as I intend to create more internal attachments as I go on (Please feel free to suggest ones you would like to see in the comments)

6. To attach to the wall I use 1 screw passing through a hole in the back, use as many as you are comfortable with (and can get permission from the wife to put holes in the wall) and I have also created a hook to hang on Skadis Reg Board

    

Over the next month I intend to release a double width/height (depends on how you orientate it) as well as a package of different internal display methods (shelves/stands for Brick figures, flight pegs for miniatures, hooks for hanging jewellery/key rings etc to name but a few)
