Lego Miniwave

Plan B made a miniwave conversion kit for euro. It is pretty clever, consisting of a face plate that, with minor modifications will fit a miniwave into a euro case. Well... some euro cases. Due to the size of the miniwave board, this conversion will only fit, barely at that, certain euro cases. Not the monster case. You could do as noisesource did, craft floating leads to the front panel and mount the miniwave board inside somehow, but that is a huge project. I needed something temporary until someone comes up with a proper euro miniwave module. That brings us to: the lego enclosure. I started the basic shape and let my son do the rest. The miniwave is mounted on technic pieces with tie wraps. The miniwave kit included an adpater so I can power it off my euro power supply, so all I need to do is snake the cable down.
