As title says, its just my version of the Plano BowGuard case for the 3030, wanted a case that could hold the 3 coils, AC plug, headphones too, so ended up buying the plano, it comes with only the lower part of the foam, so I bought the top lid foam and cut the space for the 17" coil. The foam is 2.5" so without cutting it the coil would not let the case close, it works OK without the top foam too with no problem, just wanted the rest of the parts to be more cushioned and even less movement, though with the velcro straps they are not going to move at all.
What I also liked about this case is that it had tons of points to screw in the straps, I ended using thicker straps than the ones the case came in with some parts.
Not a professional finished product but I liked the finished result (The top foam) in the picture the foam is a bit sucked in with the coil, hence the gap with the lower part of the top lid, didnt noticed while I was taking the pictures untill I uploaded them, but the foam is perfectly aligned with the edges, just had to tuck it out a bit, the case empty is somewhat heavy, or well it is heavier than I thought it would be but its very sturdy, filled with everything it weights 27 lbs, but now the 3030 will be stored properly too.
