Thats it! The basic materials and tools you will need are: A metal clad tool case (Maplin, B&Q, tool shops - see photos). Perspex sheet 3mm thick and the size of the inner rim of the lip of your box (see photo later). M3 Nuts, bolts and washers (20 or so will cover it).

Punnet - a print at home cardboard case Ok, I hope I'm replying to the right people with the right replies... Nb8k & kieranajp - Thanks and noted. paddy2k - Nice idea - I like the Selotpe thought. Steep - I did toy with that idea, but thought it might be a bit hard to cut out. johncoles - Mod away! natstott - Thanks, and yes once the measurements are nailed down for the standard PDF version I'll release it as a SVG as well for easier modding. surpher - Thanks for the useful paintover. captainwebb - I personally prefer the outside plain, but as quite a few people have made similar requests I will put the labels on the outside on the next version. Thanks to Andrew K who has put up a PDF based on Punnet, using measurements from a real Pi, I can now use that to make any adjustments. I've just had a book arrive from Amazon, and the standard cardboard packet they use looks just the right sort of size and thickness for perhaps making a tough version of the Punnet.
