This is not a post about a build of some kind, but more of a research/question. So no build photos right now, but if you have some input I would be happy to read it :)
After having to do some flying the past days and my soft/fabric suitcase breaking apart I looked into getting a replacement. What I need is a large suitcase for checked luggage. Not some crazy odd or large shape, but a decent suitcase for (multi) week traveling. I love the old Aluminium rimowa cases, but they are super pricey and I also heard quality is not what it used to be. So I thought: Maybe I can build an Aluminium case myself? Surprisingly I can’t find too much online about selfmade suitcases. Does anyone have experience/resources regarding this? Are there regulations (other than size) I would have to follow?
Zarges (alu crates) is quite the name around here, and my first naive thought was: Rivet some wheels and a handle to that thing and you have a nice case. Of course I would want to go a little further here, but do you think that would be somewhat feasible?
Thanks for reading and I am happy for any feedback :)
Where I live, you can find most of the major brand named luggage at the discount stores. My wife and I got some aluminum carry on luggage last year for less then half the cost of new, because it was probably a last years model or something. (from TJ Maxx)
