Hi midiboxerbuilders, -modders and -programmers, here i want to show you my version of a case for the SEQ V4. Because i didn't like the complete acrylic cases and because i allready had build the SEQ V4 Wilba controlpanel and allready had ordered the aluminum panel at Schäffer AG (Germany) i decided to create a very rugged acrylic case (only the side and buttom parts). So as you can see in my uploaded pictures it looks realy nice and didn't cost to much...okay 5mm acrylic base material is more expensiv the 3mm but its also more solid. (costs for the 5mm acrylic parts: ~ 80€ +freight charge at "Formulor.de") The back- and frontside engravings i filled up with paint myself by using a brush and paint it in coarse (dont let it stay/dry to long) and then using a good absorbing tissue to wipe the color out and to clean the color that is to much (on the non engraved area). you don't need any ethyl alcohol for it...dont use it becaus ethyl alcohol tends to micro fractures on lasercutted acrylic. Its enough to clean the paint with the tissue as long the color is liquid. As engraving-filling paint i used the "revell enemal" paints. They working great! And here you can see the complete SEQ-V4 in its new housing! :-) Okay i did the work months ago but now i had the time to post it to you! Pay attention: the holes in the basepanel arn't in the lasercut-artwork because i didn't had the correct measurements of all the PCBs i used. But its the better way to drill the holes you need for your PCBs yourself. I used a custom made SD-card-reader-PCB and the Quad-Midi-I²C PCB from SmashTV so therefore i had to drill the holes myself...but as i said before...its no problem if you be carefull and don't push to much when you drill! (If someone is interested in the in the artwork of my acrylic case (only the acrylic parts) post me a message and will send you the svg-file that you can modify it yourself in "inkscape" (its freeware) to your needs) regards MaG2k
