impur Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I couldn't find a project box to fit the relay for my ATO, so i made one out of acrylic. Really this is the first thing i've made out of acrylic (laugh). Cost me 2.50 for the tube of weldon 16 and a buck for the acrylic I put stoppers in the top so the top won't slide around when closed. I tried them at angles in the corners but that didn't work. For now i'm just going to use a rubberband to hold it shut Here are the float switches. I used some tubing to protect the wires from the water when i do my WCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I got my project box at Radio Shack, but it's nowhere near as cool as your DIY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks! I tried Radio Shack but they didn't have the size i needed. The one that I would have to get to fit this relay was like 12" long. I only needed 4". Lots of wasted space. This was more fun and cheaper to boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
