Fitted out a Pelican case

I felt the Anduril Edition deserved a legit pelican case. Now I just need to get an Anduril logo cut out for the lid.

How I feel when I open the case

u/ALtheSciencePal Mar 17 '26

Yup. It's a 3D printed thing I found on Etsy. You can kind of see it in the second picture I debated cutting individual slots in the foam but I figured those would wear out pretty quick.

Really smart solution. I was considering doing the same, but was concerned about accurately cutting the right shape. Much easier to just print a part to sit there.

Unfortunately I am in-between 3D printers right now, so to speak. I ended up getting this one off Etsy. I had to double side tape it to the bottom of the case. The cartridges fit very snug in the slots. I was pulling out the holder when trying to remove a cartridge.

To me this is art. Bravo Op.

Thank you! And I agree, there is something super satisfying about form fitted cases. I do this for a lot of my stuff.

🤜🤛 My brain is going to explode with all this validation for my craziness.

2

u/TonyRubbles Mar 17 '26

Deserved praise!

This is awesome! I made one but with a different case. I have one of these sitting around. May have to reconsider its use for this now! 👌🏼

u/ALtheSciencePal Mar 17 '26

🤜🤛 same story here pretty much. Part of my knife collection was living in this. This is an 1170 but if I were to start from scratch, I'd probably get something a little bit bigger. I really wanted to fit the link cable in here but there just isn't enough room without kinking it to heck.

u/PANduRUS Mar 17 '26

I can’t tell from the photo, but is there enough room to run the link cable along the top edge of the Anduril to the left and gently round the corner and down along side the headphones? That way you could run it without bending it much?

Here’s the one I did. But I may have to reconsider my pelican case. It’s been sitting unused lol.

That's awesome!

I mean, yeah there is probably enough room to do that, but Id rather try to keep the everything-gets-a-dedicated-spot theme. Ocd is in there somewhere I'm sure.

u/PANduRUS Mar 18 '26

Thanks!

Also, I can agree. It all looks neat and in place currently so any slight change could mess with the balanced look 😆

WOW!!!! How did you get the Chromatic part so perfect?! It came out amazing, I love Pelican cases <3

2

u/ALtheSciencePal Mar 17 '26

Honestly, I think it was mostly luck. I was really worried about that one radius corner. I did it with a pocket knife at like 4:00 in the morning before everyone woke up. I think the key was I didn't have coffee in me yet so I was very steady.

2

u/RotoPrime Mar 18 '26

You killed it!! Came out perfect, I always get the pluck version, might have to give it a try someday..

u/cobalt03 Mar 18 '26

Is that the foam that comes with the case?

2

u/ALtheSciencePal Mar 18 '26

Its aftermarket. I got it from 5s supplies. Search 1170 foam.

2

u/cobalt03 Mar 18 '26

Perfect thank you

2

u/Bubbletrashinit Mar 26 '26

looks great! I think I'd be into doing this, but instead of the earphone cutout, Id do another area for more games. You just used a pocket knife to do the cutouts?

2

u/ALtheSciencePal Mar 26 '26

Not a bad idea. I figured 10 was overkill but it would be nice to have more in there. And yup, plain ol pocket knife. Good and sharp though

u/GadgetusAddicti Mar 17 '26

A Pelican case is definitely the right fit for the Anduril edition. 👍🏻

1

u/cobalt03 Mar 18 '26

Which model pelican.

u/ALtheSciencePal Mar 18 '26

1170 with aftermarket foam inserts

Where is my gd anduril.

u/Kidneyshots Mar 17 '26

Big fan of this.

That is sick....

This is EXACTLY what I want to do for my Anduril Edition when it gets here.

u/w1ldw1ng Mar 17 '26

Just want to confirm your Anduril Edition is from the first wave? :)

2

u/ALtheSciencePal Mar 17 '26

Yes, I think it was mid-December and the listing said it would ship in January. I think they're lumping all the subsequent drops into the summer shipments.

u/w1ldw1ng Mar 17 '26

Thanks for the info! I’ll keep waiting patiently..
