I got an "Aluminum Case for Blades Up to 600mm #CASE-BLD600" from common sense rc's for 40$ shipped, rather than going for the larger 75$ case from edgepro directly. I got the plucky "DIY" foam filler, and customized it to fit all the components including 6 stones. If I had to do it again, I'd probably try to find a solid piece of foam and cut out the shapes, becuase the plucky foam will come out with enough internal jostling of equipment, since it's lines cut into the foam held in only by a very thin couple of knotches, similarly to perforated paper.
The main necessary fix is the side railings, which are not connected to the aluminum sides. With heavier loads the entire unit flexes and creates gaps in the center. You could also drill for a set of l brackets, but this was faster/easier for me.
It's not a 'hard use case' like something from plano moldings, but it's nice looking and it's much more compact than any similarly sized option from plano moldings. Since I don't plan on banging it around to much It's plenty strong enough for general travel between friends houses.
