Step 3 Cut some wax

Use the pre-existing case as a guide to decide how thick you need your new case halves to be. Go ahead and cut a slice of wax off the block, keeping the thickness consistent. You can use a strip of masking tape to help keep your cut straight. Cut it to size, and mark the dimensions of your drive's board on the wax so you know where to carve. Layout is probably the most important step in wax carving. Keep adding layout lines as you carve away old ones.
