Anyone planning to make and sell an enclosure?

#189

Downloaded the enclosure files.
Its weird, but if I export the FPD files posted by Mike The Man, and open it in Inkscape its different, compared to the files posted by Jan.
Used the hole cutouts from Jan's design and it seems small. (1-1 print, it should be OK, cause the overall size of the panel is correct, but the holes are smaller.)
What am I doing wrong?

It may be the Inkscape DPI issue. Inkscape runs at 90DPI where most other programs are 72DPI hence you end up with around a 25% size difference.

Printed @janvantomme's .stl files at the local library, they worked great, thanks! (Total cost: €1,60)

Very nice job by @wishniak - many thanks!

Mhmm, yummy sounds :smiley:
I think I'll copy that; it sits right with my budget

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share this project with you. It's still just an empty shell :smile: but I hope I'll finish it soon. The plan is to have simple fx for bass guitar (distortion) and vocal (delay and lo-fi) and also a sampler. And maybe a simple synth (hence the "keyboard"). Display (blue graphic OLED), touchpad (taken from Korg NanoPad) and "keyboard" are (will be) handled by arduino pro mini. Few LEDs are still missing.

Well, this is why you double check all the details.

Thank you very much! I ordered a print through 3dhubs.com and I am very curious!

#198

?? Can you explain what happened there? Has the core board changed size?

#199

Ive 4 production boards, and 1 (late) prototype board, and they all fitted into the cases I had laser cut from @janvantomme design.

I'll be honest there is something very odd about @ZZ_ picture, e.g. the slots you see on the front are 'wrong' they appear to be 'inverted'. Id guess, either he has edited the design, and something has gone wrong whilst editing and/or a manufacturing issue.

#200

I was asked by Ponoko to go into the design and change the stroke width. In changing that in Illustrator, something must have gone wrong.

#201

Thought I'd share my very low budget / low tech casing. From an old cellphone box, hence the name: Axo-phone. Just a lot of sawing, filing and drilling, no lasers or printers involved :smile: All gpio's are used. All components from chinese sites, approx €10 total cost. Hope you like it.

I ended up finding the perfect temporary case at the local Salvies for 2 bucks.
This will work well until I can get a bigger enclosure and controls added.

#203

Has anyone used RazorLab in the UK to cut the acrylic parts for an enclosure? If so, would you be prepared to letme have a copy of the SVG files you uploaded to save me making a mistake with scaling, line widths etc.? I have tried working with the files at gighub, but colurs and lines need changing before RazorLab will accept them and im not sure of what i am doing.

Thanks
Chris

I've used a VHS case to house my Zoom 1201. They are quite useful!

#205

Did you ever sort this? Afraid I dont understand the laser cutting file types either.

UK here too.

@Zedkah @chriss , I had my enclosures cut at razorlabs uk based on @janvantomme files.

I made two changes
a) increased the size of the slots on top/bottom to allow for 3mm acrylic.
b) put them on to a larger template, as I had 5 cases made at the same time, so optimised the placement on the material to fit.

I think I used inkscape from memory... and I don't think I changed the colours or line thicknesses, though I did review them all, so perhaps I did... the template you download from them, gives the specifics about colours/thicknesses, and its easy to select them in the SVG.
(I think you need to do an ungroup if i remember correctly)

p.s. I used a mixture of plywood and acrylic, and was very pleased with the results.

you can see them here

I possibly can dig out the templates, but possibly not much use to you as parts are split over 3 different sheets, to get the most out of each.

#207

I had a play with this and have copied the SVG files across to the razor labs templates. I then discovered that the scaling was wrong. the box seems to measure 14 cms across where as the axoloti is 16 cms long ! Any pointers here? I dont like the idea of draging to re sizing the objects until some test measurement looks right.
Not used inkscape before so I obviously need to put some more time into getting what it is doing. Id like to design a slightly bigger box with some headroom for some pots in the top but the back panel with the holes and slots needs to be dead on.

#208

Any updates on this most needed piece? ..I'm so eaderly waiting for a 3D printed enclosure for the Axoloti v1. ...THX!!!
