Hi everybody!
This is my first post in a while... I haven't built a pedal since I moved to London (about 18 months ago) and that needs to end now!.
I brought some boards with components from Spain on my last trip but I need to get some enclosures.
I used to etch my boxes before, but I live in a small flatshare and that is not an option at the moment, so I thought I would give a try to the laser cutter I have at work and see if I can get it to engrave powder coated boxes.
I have gotten some good quality ones from stevie1556 here in the forum (UK based) in the past, but he has not been active since December '16.
I did a quick search and found this shop in Edinburgh, but they are a little bit expensive and found no reference of their work whatsoever:

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks!

I used those guys last year for a white 1590bb and it was terrible loads of orange peel, large dips in the finish and some small red spots in addition to being really expensive. These days I order basic colours from rs components or farnell and go to Banzai for everything else.
Bitsbox do some, at a glance a tad more expensive but Ive ordered a few black BBs and theyve been great. I justify the price of bitsbox with how bloody quick the postage is.
Yes I forgot bitsbox again just the standard colours but if you order before 1pm you always get it the next day.
Thank you guys! I took a look at bitsbox and it looks like they have the standard Hammond colours. Apparently CPC also stocks those at much cheaper price (free shipping included)!
