Not only does carbon block radio and conduct electricity, but itās also more stiff than fiberglass which can flex slightly with the vehicle.
If you want the carbon fiber look then use black glass weave

Iām aware of issues with ABS, but havenāt seen much in the way of documented issues with kydex.
Fiber-glass enclosures are almost works of art. Thermoformed enclosures are more practical and they should be less expensive. You can buy a replacement double-stack from me for $75. Try finding a double-stack fiber-glass enclosure for that much.

Thermoformed enclosures also make great bucks to lay fiberglass onto.

Previous attempts at making kydex enclosures werenāt made using the proper manufacturing process. In fact attempts documented on here tools like an oven and heat guns were being used the last time I checked. The process we developed made the enclosure much more durable. As for our price it includes shipping and if you somehow manage to break the enclosure a free replacement. Our enclosure are meant to outlast the life of the board and be reusable if u decide to switch boards. Ill update my build log on durability of the enclosures and what not later this week.

Just open a thread and put in the category for esk8 parts marked + Used/new parts for sale, then it appears.

but thatās what Iām sayingā¦ it doesnāt
at least not when I sold shit ~1 month ago
Regardless of price point is not something that translates to my language very well. But yeah pretty much. If itās $70 abs enclosure vs $200 fiberglass vs letās say $500 bulletproof one, Iād pick the bulletproof, cuz its gonna last until every other part of my daily driver is just as invincible 
Derail jail is dead, but just in case, you make some damned good enclosures by the look of it deaf, but these ones are too small for my needs<3

For $500 Iāll make you a kevlar sheet enclosure. Wonāt be pretty, but itāll take a 9mm round.
1/8" kydex should take a .22 at > 20ft. 0.08" kydex should withstand most daily riding

It is metaphor, I just want indestructible stuff lmao. The one aluminum deck I have has quickly become my favorite, as it feels like it would outlast me.
It also feels like it could roll up after a crash and kill me.
@glyphiks I think the ol Nokia run it over test is pretty fair for defining indestructible for our needs xD no need to go all killhammer with it.

Youāve seen my āpitbullā build. Carbon fiber over kydex. Enclosure will outlast the drive train, the deck, the battery, and probably me.
I have one of the Deaf LLC small enclosures scheduled for delivery on the 30th and I really do have high hopes for it. Even at 0.08"

Theyāre very nice, and I like the smooth look that thermoformed kydex has. But a 10s2p isnāt enough range to be worth a new build to me right now. Iād have to empty it 3 times a day :c
