This is really a good housing for the electronic. I used a similar one for my small Mega 1280 Autopilot:

looks nice. I see you have some vents to cool it down

What power laser? Try it out of 1/16" garolite (works on a 40W laser at low speed, full power). Garolite would be much nicer/ much stronger.

I`m not sure , but i think that could affect the correct readings of the pressure sensor .

Would it hold up well in a crash do you think? What sort of material would be best for a crash resistant enclosure?

Wow!, you have a laser cutter. Can you do small run side jobs. You need to start a web site and go into business. A machine like that needs to work for a living to justify the cost.

garolite FR4. Same material as the PCB itself. Ever notice how strong they are?

I found the PERFECT foam for the gyros and mags for anti-vibration.
You all have heard and seen the commercial for Tempurpudic mattress where the girl jumps on one end and the glass of wine on the other end that doesn't spill ?
Look them up on the internet and request a free sample. Perfect size and it REALLY kills the vibration, especially on ArduCopter.
Put this stuff in the box under and around the mega and you will be all set.

Hi,
Nice enclosure. :) You should put it up at http://www.ponoko.com/ if you don't want to produce them yourself... They have a variety of materials for the consumer to choose from as well.
