FYI, Bob Ross Altoids cans are a thing...

I just wanted to alert everyone to the existence of these gems. I picked up one today in a candy shop in Bend Oregon, to turn into a minty pi. I thought it was hilarious. They appear to have the exact same dimensions as a standard mint tin. I do believe they will accept a minty pi kit perfectly.
They’re likely available online. If anyone wants one in the next 72 hours, I can pick one up.

I think I’ve seen them around for a bit. I don’t know if the dimensions are the same. I know Marky_Pi on Instagram was going to try making one.

I just finished mine yesterday! The dimensions are a bit off but nothing that widening the port holes you cut won't fix. I am a complete noob at this and this was literally my first solder project so I'm surprised I was actually able to get it all put together with no hiccups. Kudos to Wermy and Helder for making this build as easy as possible even for new comers like me!

I ended up buying a Bob Ross tin as well, inspired by your post. I also bought a few other collector edition tins which I will post once these builds are done. I think the community will like it.

How did you widen the ports? I am running into this myself on my build.
