Title: Product idea - 1590a height extender
Post by: Philthy on June 22, 2020, 12:24:36 AM

For those with 3D printing capabilities (not me) I think a great idea for a product would be a say a 10mm gasket that fits between the enclosure and the lid to effectively deepen it to enable socketing of transistors/larger caps etc.

Thoughts?

Make it a light plate and it can do double duty.

They don't look like a tall 1590a though :o

Yeah. The Smallbear 1590A-tall is excellent. It's about .25" taller.

You guys know my affinity for 1590A builds, you already know I have a few screws loose  ;)

If you don't go with a larger box, I think the best route would be to breadboard the circuit before committing to component choices. 1590a builds are—usually—rather straightforward and should be pretty quick to put together on a breadboard. Unless you plan on routinely swapping out components, of course.

You're telling me they missed calling their taller 1590a the "Tall Bear" enclosure? It was right there!

Well time to switch projects to even smaller enclosures I guess.

Thanks for that.  Tall 1590a's are impossible find here is Australia. Might try printing this.
