ponoko.com is a commercial laser-cutting service that many people have used to get the laser cut plastic parts for their CrowBox project. We have also ordered several sets of CrowBox parts from Ponoko and we're happy to suggest them to you as a source for your CrowBox parts.

For convenience, we have set up two different shared shopping carts at Ponoko.com, which you can use to easily order the laser-cut plastic parts for your CrowBox housing. We have set it up so that you can choose one of two color schemes:

• 3rd Generation Crowbox parts with GREEN colored solid parts
• 3rd Generation Crowbox parts with BROWN colored solid parts

(You will need an account at Ponoko in order to use either of these links to order your parts)

Important — material thickness: Cast acrylic sheet has been running variable in recent years. When you order through the shared carts above, Ponoko will see an internal note we've attached requesting close-to-3mm material. As a belt-and-suspenders measure, please also email hello@ponoko.com after placing your order with your order number and the message: “Please use close to 3mm material thickness as possible.” This noticeably improves the fit of the slot-and-tab joints during assembly.

Once the acrylic parts arrive, check out our YouTube Channel for step-by-step assembly videos.

Disclaimer: We have bought several sets of CrowBox parts from Ponoko in order to verify their quality and accuracy. We have had good customer service experiences with them, as well. For these reasons, we're happy to recommend Ponoko as a place for you to buy your parts. Ponoko charges fees for materials, manufacturing services, and shipping but we have no financial interest or affiliation with them. We receive no money when parts are bought at Ponoko - we are simply making a service recommendation.

If you'd like to consider other online laser-cutting services, you can download the housing geometry files from here and submit them to a service of your choosing.

You may also download the geometry files and take them into your local makerspace to ask about having them laser cut for you.
