This is built from a large "project" box sold by RadioShack that was cut down to fit my needs;First: Cut down a project box and the plastic lid to a length equal to the height of the Bescor Mp 101 from its base to where the top starts to bevel in. Set the included metal cover aside for now. (Picture 1)Second: Measuring the Arduino Uno R3, figure out where the square hole for the USB should be. The Arduino sets in the controller box sideways to avoid clearance issues from the large end of the USB B connector cable. Cut out the hole for the USB and the power if you are not going to power through the USB. *You can cut notches into the plastic to hold the Arduino's breadboard firmly in place.Third: Right now your controller box, isn't much of a box and only has three (3) sides. Take the metal cover that was included with your project box and cut it down to fit as the fourth side of this box. There are little grooves in this box that the metal side can fit into.Fourth: The Bescor, since it is cylindrical in shape, has curves that the box needs to fit flush to. This curve was really easy to mark if you were careful when you cut the old boxes off. Take one of the old boxes and trace the cut off curve onto your metal piece and the top of the box.Fifth: Cut out these curves, test for fitment against the Bescor Mp 101, and sand as necessary to make it fit fairly snug.Sixth: Replace the metal cover to make the fourth wall of your control box. Glue in place with permanent glue.Seventh: Take the plastic lid and check it for fitment against the now four-sided box. Sand as necessary and set aside once you are happy with its fit.
