Much shiny. Very glossy. Wow.
-
Update: Parcels are on their way.
-
Update:
Packing phase has started. 80mm fan for comparison - no banana available. :happy:
I aim to hand over the parcels to DHL by end of the week.
Parcels have been packed, shipping labels have been printed.
-
Update: The cases (20.10 kg :sweat:) arrived at my place.
To-do-list for the next coming days:
- Measurement checking: Done. Cases are direct clones to the already 30 manufactured by Heidenreich. The standard 17" front panel by Wilba fits nicely (see pic)
Ordering fitting cardboard boxes: on their way- Printing shipping labels and preparing abroad shipment
- Tracking numbers will be provided via Paypal
-
Update: Heidenreich announced the shipping today, I expect the delivery to take place in the next 1-2 days.
-
Oh snap! Is this still available? I've been looking to get one of these cases and panels for a long long time!
:smile: Yes, it's still available.
EDIT: I'm gonna put my name on the Batch #2 list just in case.Thanks, I fixed the amount for you. For a panel set please PM julianf.
-
Thnx jojjelito.
Yes, please PM me - I'll put you on the list.
-
Good news everyone, I phoned with Heidenreich today:
- the cases are in production, 9x black & 1x alu blank for casius are confirmed
- invoice should arrive tomorrow
- lead time ~ 4 weeks, confirmed delivery before Heidenreich goes into holidays (4th of August)
Also thanks go to casius & xtrmnt, who relieved me from paying Paypal fees. I'll donate the fees to Twin-X (hosting costs), when the financial details are processed.
Edit: Invoice is paid.

Update:
- received payment from all participants - thanks again for the swift payment!
- order has been sent to Heidenreich this morning
- awaiting proforma invoice

And for kristal, just to show that the panel really does not come off the case, a shot of it hanging off my claw -
Now I understand what you mean. Well, the reason why I proposed rails is that your design is probably a 1,5mm one and now looks recessed. If you use a 3mm design and add rails, it would look flush mounted. But I guess it's a matter of taste and budget.
Also be careful with altering the original design, the screw holes should have the original alignment. There's probably only space left for a LED lead when you finally assemble case and panel.

I took those holes off, they were only there for the 2 piece prototype panels where you needed to wire them together and you dont need them with the current CS PCB.
As Altitude says.
If you like cutting recesses, the pic should give you some hints for useful recesses. Also a 25mm wide hole for the data wheel makes sense, as this makes you able to choose between the Albs DK45 & the original DK38.
-
Cool, looking forward to see them.

Update:
Got 8 case sign ups, need 2 additional cases for this bulk to get started.
I won't supply any frontpanels, since only fundamental took interest. Please PM Julianf or visit frontpanels.de for your individual frontpanel.
Sign up here if you want a case: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=seq4_aluminium_case_and_frontpanel_2014
-
All this to say that I have some mild sticker shock about the front panel cost, and to ask, is there still an opportunity to discuss the front panel design? Because for example, I would probably prefer no countersinking or counterboring on front screw holes, and I still don't completely understand the purpose of the other extra work on the back, and how the benefits justify the cost.
I think the best idea is to discuss this matter with Julianf. I'm not a manufacturer of panels, so I don't have any influence on panel prices.
-
I'm currently busy with the SEQ4 case bulk. I'll create an ALBS wish list the next days, but no idea when this will take place.
-
I guess it's a good idea to PM julianf or contact frontpanels.de.
Edit: Btw, the signup phase for the first batch has started, if someone wants a case this summer please sign up at: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=seq4_aluminium_case_and_frontpanel_2014

(shipping is 14,50 euro)Or 9,15EUR, if you use this service (assuming your box is under 1kg)http://www.deutschepost.de/de/b/briefe-ins-ausland/warenversand-international.html:ike:Location: Austria

after all, it is just a piece of foam
it's a urethane foam joined with activated carbon

You certainly don't want to use it every day, but for soldering 2 Sammichs, 2 Cores & a SEQ4 PCB it's enough IMO.
There are cheap 120x120mm HEPA filters out there that could be easily joined by 4 screws with a 120x120mm fan:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/111372608914
I have one of those (not with the exact dimensions), but beware: you get what you pay for... the twice as expensive original parts look much more refined than the cheap rip-offs. On the other hand - they are designed for vacuum cleaners...
-
but it looks even uglier now! :-)
lol :D I can imagine that.
On the other hand, soldering isn't a beauty contest. The outcome matters...
-
Indeed, i cut a test panel, and then made further adjustments of fractions of a millimeter, so that, not only did the panel fit, it fits perfectly! : )
Again, i am not 100% sure i understand, but, even if i do not understand, i can assure you that there will be no falling off the case! : )
What I mean: what happens if your turn the case up side down? E.g. transporting it to a gig etc?
I don't have a better word than slide or guide rail for it, I marked them red for you. I even don't have a word in German for it :smile:
Furthermore, I marked 2 recesses that aren't necessary with SmashTV's PCB.
-
Looks good, the price is probably unbeatable, too.
When buying a 17" panel, one wants to make sure it has slides for the closing sidepanels (see pic ) so the panel won't fall off the case. The original Wilba front panel file doesn't have this.
Also the hole for the data wheel should be 25mm wide, so the DK45 from Albs can fit, too. The original 10mm are too small:
-
Good idea, needs a case file and a FabLab. A powerful fan is a plus, too (+60 m³/h). Mine is pretty weak and noisy, even though I have a commercial 230V one.
-
Don't solder the caps, put them on machine pin strips and solder those. Sometimes SIDs get swapped, so will the caps. I use 1mm regular leaded solder wire & some flux.

Don't get the doge wrong. :puppeh:
He only found the panel to be very glossy and that didn't imply views in taste. Maybe some like their panel glossy red?
