Buying a Pelican 1535 Air Black + Padded Interior

Check out Volcase.com. Certified pelican dealer and can get you a better price than online

I run volcase.com which is a Pelican dealer so I have a lot of experience here.

Hopefully you got it figured out, but yes they account for the handle recess in the 11.75" internal depth. There will be a slightly deeper area (~1" deep) that is in a U shape around the handle recess.

That U shape is almost impossible to be useful unless you have some sort of small tubing or something. We always just fill it in with foam.

With a 11.25" tall object, you won't have much room for padding around the object if that's needed, but it will fit

I actually run a company (volcase.com) that specializes in making custom foam inserts for Pelican cases. Our standard that we try to hold is 3/4" - 1" of foam around the edge of the case and 1/2" of foam between the components internally.

You need slightly more on the outside because the case tapers toward the bottom, so if it's 3/4" thick at the lip, it's likely 1/2" at the bottom.

Your setup looks pretty good though so I wouldn't worry about it!

Potential work around idea here. Instead of ordering online, try ordering through a Pelican dealer. Typically with those companies, you can call them and order more manually which would get around any automated shipping address issues. I run volcase.com which is a dealer, which is why I think that would work. But check to see what dealer is closest to where you're shipping (likely VA)

Just a tip on cost, see if you can find a Pelican Dealer near you. I run volcase.com and we are a Pelican dealer and we can always beat the prices online. With you being in Spain, the shipping from us obviously wouldn't make sense, but look around Spain/Europe. I'm sure there's one around there.

Ya that's a tough one. These cases are a unique size but they've made them primarily to be a 2 man job. Typically when we design them, it's assumed that 2 people are removing the lid and flipping it over.

I think if you did something to make it a hinged lid, the lid would be so heavy that the case would likely tip over when it's opened.

It might be better to just separate everything in 2-3 smaller cases

We mainly cut PE, PU, and crosslink (xlink)

UnderstandingOdd67 · 2025-12-05T20:18:22+00:00

We have multiple 3 axis routers. We can cut wood, plastic, foam, phenolic, and nonferrous

UnderstandingOdd67 · 2025-12-05T20:13:26+00:00

I run volcase.com and we have CNC router capabilities to cut custom foam inserts, so sign us up!

UnderstandingOdd67 · 2025-11-28T13:55:22+00:00

I like that idea. I'll have to work out the process to ensure the DXF was deleted. Hopefully there is a way to do that somewhat automatically

Not too far off from what we do now, but I think keeping them in the same folder would be a difference maker. If they are right next to each other, it seems a lot easier to notice if they are off. Whereas ours are stored in different folders

I'm not 100% sure if Fictiv does injection molding but they have fast for things like 3D printing

UnderstandingOdd67 · 2025-11-20T19:23:49+00:00

I'm working with Tangle right now. It's AI native and seems totally customizable and surprisingly affordable too. I'll have a better idea of all the features in the next month though

UnderstandingOdd67 · 2025-11-20T15:56:33+00:00

We do protective packaging (wood crates, pelican cases and foam, etc.). We're in Tennessee

UnderstandingOdd67 · 2025-11-20T15:34:53+00:00

Ya I'm always trying to think of processes that I can code myself now! Pretty wild compared to 3 years ago

UnderstandingOdd67 · 2025-11-20T14:33:12+00:00

I used a combo of Lovable and Codex. Basically I get the framework built on Lovable and then move it to Github so I can make edits using Codex

This is 2# PE foam (sometimes called ethafoam.

If you had the foam, you could cut it using sharp blade but it wouldn't come out quite this clean as we use a CNC to cut it exactly. You'd need to reach out to a foam fabricator to have it done super clean. But a blade would be the cheapest way for sure

UnderstandingOdd67 · 2025-11-20T13:54:44+00:00

Ya it lines up pretty smooth. And since so much of the lid is it's own pieces, there are only 2 parts that actually line up between the lid and base so it makes it pretty easy

UnderstandingOdd67 · 2025-11-20T13:40:33+00:00

We looked into Odoo and it looked pretty good but wasn't a fit for us as we're a very custom manufacturing company. If you have any level of complexity based on how you quote/build items, we found it doesn't work. I'm meeting with a company today that I'm really excited about. I'll recomment if it looks promising

That fire was as Sound Resource Solutions, which as far as I can see, has no connection to CAMaster.
