I just bought those for my work kit. They are awesome!

I believe that the 'm' stands for 'mobility' and that case has bigger wheels on it than the traditional case.

It’s a 1560 in Lime Green from Pelican Color Case.

Thanks guys.

A new Pelican Box was my big Christmas gift. The top couple of trays are what I use most. Everything else is in rolls and bags to keep things flexible based on what I’m working on.

At work we are getting into the concept of printing organic shapes that couldn't possibly be machined. Two main reasons; To optimize the design of our parts as much as possible and to prevent reverse engineering our equipment. We just bought a plastic printer to do some proof of concept...
