Anyone planning to make and sell an enclosure?

#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.

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

#209

This is a nice 3D design for a case

For those wanting a pre-made solution, I can recommend the PacTec PT series.

The larger PT-10 is the enclosure used for the original Adafruit X0xB0x

The PT-8 may also be big enough for an Axoloti. It's been used by MFB, for example for their MFB 522 Drum Machine.

They're quite pricey, but they have the advantage that the top and rear panels can be removed for easy drilling, painting, labelling etc. You can even send them to Schaefer/FPE for milling and engraving, if you're feeling rich.

Ecocase made in 10 minutes. Nanocontrols fits on top of it. Very good processor ventilation.

Points off for not using reclaimed wood. :slight_smile:

Here's my enclosure - a TEKO plastic box with aluminum top plate.

Hi everybody, this is my first post on this forum, just to share my 3d-printable enclosure design with this awesome community here:

It's made with OpenScad and is therefore quite easy to customize (althougt the code lacks comments and needs refactoring). The front plate (where the connectors are) is derived from Jens Groh’s design.

This looks incredibly dope!

I'm in the middle of a stompbox project using behringer fs 2 footswitches, that is quite similar to your layout. Feeling almost tempted to go for your enclosure but I guess it makes more sense to finish my project now :wink:

Personally I would add led next to the buttons for visual feedback but great thing really!

#221

Love the angled frontplate. I've mused plenty over how to do that with acrylic but just can't work it out.

#222

Thanks! I actually put leds into the Buttons. They are just bright enough for indoor usage:

yea, I had to remember some math lessons from twenty years ago and use Pythagoras theorem to calc that top plate :slight_smile:

#224

Hi all! I'm really excited about all of these projects. They all look like so much fun!

I've been modeling the Axoloti core in Fusion 360. My plan is to release all my 3D files in Fusion, GrabCAD, and as step files in github. I'm working on a script to automate everything, but won't get that finished until after Knobcon in September.

If anyone wants to play around with the STEP file, I'm hosting it here: https://github.com/Believotron/3D-Models. I'm a EE, not a MechE, so if you see something wrong, I'm very, very glad to hear about it.

I also have models with just the MIDI section, or the core of the core :). If someone needs those before I'm done tidying everything, let me know.

I finally got my akrylic lasercut today. The box was easy to assemble and looks nice. But there is an issue with the material being very thin between the hole for the DC inlet and the bolt beside it. In my case it actually broke during the assembling process. Not a big problem - the box can easily hold together with the remaining bolts. But I think the design could be improved by making the box a couple of centimeters larger in the short axis of the board which would make it possible to move the two bolts in the short ends a bit (maybe the bolts could then be centered in the short pieces which would in fact look better).

Here's the project I finished some months ago.

Full gallery

It's a hybrid synth and audio + MIDI workstation.
It contains:

  • Raspberry Pi with touchscreen as a brain (can run SunVox, PD, ZynAddSubFX, Seq24 etc, act as a USB MIDI <> DIN MIDI converter and more)
  • Goom synth running on STM32F4 micro-controller, controlled by custom touch optimized PureData control surface with patch library and morphing feature
  • DIN+USB MIDI interface for RPi
  • Axoloti as a optional FX unit for Goom synth

Case is a HITPULT by WeroPlast. Next time I will not DIY the aluminum front plate drilling and let it laser cut somewhere.

Morpheo = RPi + Goom synth + Axoloti
