selfservice Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Here is the frontpanel, same layout of the one in the MBFM manual, but handmade panel is a "bit" worse. As soon as i can i'll build the case, with 8mm multistrate wood and all the wiring, i hope to play frist songs in the next month!Stay tuned!

stryd_one Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hahahahah I was sitting there waiting for that massive image to load from that very slow server, looking at your tiles, wondering why you didn't crop it.... Then I figured that it was because you wanted to show us that pubic hair in the top corner ;DPretty precise drilling for a DIY job, good one!

Foona Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 ...pubic hair...hihihiihihhi ;DI concure, pretty precise driling.When i drill....well....it looks kinda messed up.So i put more details on to fool the eyes.And can you believe it, it never works! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 When i drill....well....it looks kinda messed up.Hot tips:measure three times, drill onceclamp everything FIRMLYUse a drill presscentre tap thoroughly, and consider starting the hole with a super high speed drill with a tiny bit in it - less friction means better accuracy. The big bit will follow the hole after that. Personally, I first punch it with a sewing needle, then a centre punch, a dremel bit, then a full size drill bit. With the drills, get the highest rotation speed possible, and slide the bit in and out s l o w l y . Keep i mind, that furniture and cabinet makers must drill their holes to very fine accuracy, so it is possible to do it :)HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfservice Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I use the "stryd drilling process" ;D but with an improvment:I draw the panel with autocad, print in 1:1 scale, glue the printed sheet with the aluminium panel, and drill everything frist with dremel and a 1 mm bit. Thats all :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yeh that's how I do it too :D I have some kinda nice plotters at work hehehStill, I follow that old rule, and measure three times, when I ensure that the printout is properly aligned.

Jidis Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 If any of you guys end up doing an etched panel, you can print little dots on your layout that end up working perfectly as pilot/starter holes. I did that on my last one and it made things a lot easier. I've got a benchtop Delta drill press and still usually screw up all my holes. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
