I have the box modeled in 3D using the sheet metal tool of my software. I sent the flat pattern over to my fab shop to have him punch the pattern out of a piece of ABS. I was then going to add some heat and make the bends myself. But, my fab shop is behind and wouldn't be able to get to it till after the 1st of the year. I didn't have the patience to wait that long.
If this one doesn't hold up, maybe I'll pursue the ABS version again.

If I am going to pay somebody to make it for me, it's going to be formed out of ABS, not aluminum or steel. I'm trying to reflect the heat not absorb it.
