Love the angled frontplate. I've mused plenty over how to do that with acrylic but just can't work it out.
Anyone planning to make and sell an enclosure?

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

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.
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.

Gosh this is so good. I want the same thing except with a windows tablet so i can run the Axoloti editor.

How about Gole1? Might be too small though. Anyway, I've backed it up. Gonna use it as a utility Win PC in my mobile set.

Yeah i am leaning toward making it a larger possibly 10 inch screen unit and having the whole box be a little larger. But I am thinking the 1200 by 800 res seems to be the minimum for running the Axoloti Editor

thats really nice @cube48, inspirational even.
Id love to hear more about it, e.g. why you chose to run the STM32F4 , what touchscreen your using...
actually, Id say this is worth a separate topic in the your projects section, if your willing to answer questions etc... its alot more than just an enclosure
(if you want I could move your post(s) and replies there.. just pm me if you want/happy with that, or of course you can create a separate post too)

TK ported Goom synth over to MIOS32 with most functionaility intact. I think Cube48 has a big thread on Midibox forums about it.

I've been think similar too, more so, a full unit to run the Axo UI as well.
There are some really cool maker style SBC's starting to come out, with few already out, that not only run the full windows 10, but have the Arduino style GPIO, and the ability to attach touch screens.
One I like the look of is the LattePanda, and the one I am watching closely is the Udoo x86 which is supposed to be 10 x the power of RPI 3 and takes Arduino shields directly.

How usable is Axo UI with a touchscreen though? Are we talking about the Editor here? or the Remote Control?

This system is pretty cool. I'm looking to build something a little similar, but with Rotary encoders with LED rings. I was going to use a RaspPi for the brains and custom interface for the system, and the Axoloti for the core audio system. I might try to do some software stuff, either Supercollider or something like that on the Pi.
Here, are the LED rings I'm going to use. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251437248842
And I think this is the case I'm going to build it in. http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/177/1456PH1-76562.pdf
What I'd like to know, is how you configured your Pi to run all those programs? Are you running Raspbian? sunVox looks like crap on the touch screen in the default Window Manager. Do you just configure a boot script to boot sunvox or other apps into fullscreen mode?

Thanks you guys for your feedback. Here is the thread that hopefully answers your questions.

Looking forward to your 3D modeled work in Fusion 360. This will be very helpfull to design new enclosures. Enjoy!

I've just had two of these panels made by Schaeffer. They look perfect and fit perfectly into the enclosure. Unfortunately, the hole for the headphone socket is a few tenths of a millimeter too far left and the cutout for the big USB Type A socket is too narrow.
I had to file (actually dremel) off a bit from the right side of the analog outs and treat the USB socket with pliers to make it fit.
I don't know, if the layout of the Axoloti board has slightly changed in the meantime or if there's another cause. I haven't done any of this before and so have no idea how I could have noticed it earlier or how to correct the design.
I think it's great that Mike shared his design, however, anyone intending to use it, be aware that it might need some work.

Frank from NRG Rerording did a view boxes for me, he is very helpful, quality wise on the same level than schaeffer front panels and a little cheaper, he might be the best one to ask, he works a lot for diyer at group diy.
