Today I made an acrylic holder for my Neptune Systems Aqua 3 Controller.
They give you two pieces of Velcro to fasten it with. I am very pleased with the controller but that's just wrong. Even the Lunar Simulator next to the controller in the photo has mounting holes. Anyway it turned out pretty good for a quick job. I wish I had some thinner acrylic on hand though. I didn't really need to make it out of 1/4" material.Today I made an acrylic holder for my Neptune Systems Aqua 3 Controller.  I gave it 4 mounting holes just in case.

No,

  I'm to lazy to get the camera out when I build something. It's basiclly a flat piece of black acrylic 8" long X 5" high. 4 mounting holes in corners, 3/8" on center.

The box that holds the controller is made with 4 pieces of acrylic 1-1/8" X L and H ( 4-1/4" for sides and 5-3/4" for top and bottom.) I glued a longer piece to the top to make it a removable cover. The bottom piece I routed out to accept all the plugs and sensors. I also routed out two areas on the front to allow access to the buttons and screen.

Terrible photo but maybe this will help. I wouldn't mind building one for somebody out of thinner material. I like working with acrylic, fun stuff.
