I would try to get a fiberglass enclosure if possible. ABS is kinda shitty and breaks really easily, especially with a lot of cells inside.

I wanted to finally start logging a build here at the risk of making something that dosen’t work so we can all learn together.
One of the hardest things I’ve found about esk8 is sourcing well-fitting enclosures cheaply. One route is ABS or Kydex. However, I don’t have an oven big enough to soften the stuff to form around a mold, plus my lady will kick me out if she finds me using the oven to bake anything other than food again.
I have some decent experience in shaping foam and laminating surfb…
Or you could get an ABS enclosure, fit it, then use it for a fiberglass mold. Not sure if anyone has done that. Anyone have any reason that wouldn’t work?
