Revisions and Idea

The main idea for the project was to learn fusion360, but also to make an artisan case that I personally like.
Many artisan cases rely on magnets to hold the cover on top and I just didnt like that. So this is my approach. My first Idea was to make a case with a rail system, but it became too complicated and it was way to expensive. (shoutout to rmendis because he was able to make it!)

V1:
The idea was to make a somewhat gasket mount system to prevent from the acrylic to hit the alu, but after making the first prototype I realized that It wasnt necesary

Explored view of V1

V1.1 and current: I removed the gasket and added feet.

After some feedback about the stand. Ill be able to source it from china at no extra cost! This is the same stand that I used for the previous picture. I need to do some testing to see whats the max angle but easy could do up to 45 degrees
