re: changing builds (v4+ or user customisations, etc) -
After finishing up the case in the photos above, i realised that, once id got the build straight in my head, done the CAD, and run a few prototypes, i could adapt the case without so much bother.
I'm currently building myself a Klee sequencer, so i thought i would use the design for that also. It took me less than a day to rework the CAD and cut new parts, to end up with this -
In case its not clear, that is a 4u panel on the top. I forget, without looking at the files, if i altered the angle on the top or not, which would affect if the rear panel was the same height or not...
...but my point is that the design is flexible, for example, if someone wants custom I/O on the rear panel, different wood on the ends, different anodising, or infill on the top, etc. Or, if they want a 4u panel for one project instead of a 3u panel for another!
