Thanks you guys for your feedback. Here is the thread that hopefully answers your questions.
Anyone planning to make and sell an enclosure?

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.

Hi, I just wanted to let you all know that we've just opened up our beta-0 synthesizer pre-order with the Believotron Wanderlust + Axoloti core. We have 3D printed and laser-cut acrylic enclosures. The final design is still a WIP, as we're waiting on a back-ordered 3D printer with a larger print bed. I'll update with new photos on the main Wanderlust thread as the enclosures shape up.

Many thanks for this. I sent your files to a local 3dhubs place, and now my Axoloti Core is no longer housed in its original cardboard box:

The Takachi CF22-11BB isn't the cheapest (30-40 euros) or easiest to buy case out there but seems to be pretty nice for the Axoloti + a minimal control surface. The slight slope is nice for ergonomics while on the table. I think I'll just eventually have to replace one of the big pots with a rotary switch for patch / preset selection.
Hammond's extruded 1455R1601 case (or 1455R1601BK for same in black) seems like another good alternative - like the case Johannes mentioned much earlier in the thread, this one has an extrusion designed for a 160mm eurocard so shouldn't need any additional screws / standoffs for mounting. It's got a few cm more depth for control surface components as well. I think I'll eventually try one of those with the other Axoloti I got from a friend.

hey guys, i found a rather cheap 19" enclosure in the netherlands, i decided to order one, and ijust got it in.
might be usefull for multiple axoloti+control (arduino/teensy) in one enclosure.
the dimensions are: standard 19" wide, 2 unit (88mm) high, 180mm deep (a axoloti core fits nicely in the depth of the enclosure!)
it is made 1mm sheet metal and an aluminium front panel of about 2mm thickness and comes with vent holes, some integrated mounting holes and screws.
ideal for a DIY RAXoloti (Axoloti RACK mount)
the price is even better: just €25,50 for one enclosure (including tax, no shipment)
the link to the enclosure: http://www.vandijkenelektronica.eu/index.php?id_product=622&controller=product&id_lang=2 (dutch website)
just thought i'd share this source with you all

Seems like this topic has warped into a gallery 4 nice axoloti-housings. This is very nice to collect inspiration and spare time in using and developing others ideas what I did. Mine now has 5 faders 3 buttons 2 switches and a distance sensor and will be used as a stereo-effect unit for organ and piano sounds plus a theremin option.
Thanks to https://sebiik.github.io/community.axoloti.com.backup/users/janvantomme and https://sebiik.github.io/community.axoloti.com.backup/users/aton is was an easy job to modify the svg.

Wow, lot's of great enclosures and ideas here.
Here is my shoebox enclosure for my first Axoloti based psyché-synth

I'll try to find them and reupload, I think they may have been lost unfortunately, but it's possible I still have them on an external drive.

The tolerances are pretty tight for hand cutting/drilling, so you'll probably end up having to do some touch up work. I used a drill press and even with that I ended up having to do a lot of filing. Laser cut or CNC would definitely be preferable.
A 16mm hole saw or stepper bit would be nice to have for the job.

I have founded a lot of old vintage broadcast cassettes. So I used one for temporary enclosure.
I forgot the DC input...

This is my axo enclosure. I designed and built it with my friend who is furniture designer. I think it came out nice and minimalistic. Im planning to add some leds knobs and buttons on top. Any thoughts?
I hope I manage to get the electronic soldering stuff done without problems. I don't have much experience on that.
Also what im a bit worried about is that how can I attach the buttons and knobs to the enclosure since Its kind of cramped. Do you guys think its can be done 
?
It fitted! Four knobs, four buttons, ir sensor and five leds with 3 colors. It was pretty tight to fit and i had to use few tricks and force it a little bit which was scary. But now everything is working. Next is some serious patching. Im gonna try to make everything multifunctional. Ideas?

Hey, WOW, theres a ton of different cases and models presented here... I actually just recently procured a Core board, as well as the Music Thing Modular Control...
so are there any examples of cases made for this specific marriage, or am I going to end up using this old VHS case and keeping my fingers crossed anytime it needs to leave my studio?

Someone did put a case around the axo control and post it - sorry can't find it now
But I use axo control without a case, since it already protects the top and bottom of the board, fine most of the time - though I wouldn't chuck it in a rucksack, without a box.
