pkniffer Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 yepit works somehow, miraculous;it's quite noisy because i made the simple power supply, wanting to make sure the damned thing worked first.even the bankstick works. the LCD can't stay where it is, so i'll cut a whole in the top (i have no idea how), and i have to shorten the whole case too, it's way too big.but how do i affix the pcbs/lcd to the plastic? how to make screwholes? i can't just tape them.. :)sounds great though !!!

cosmosuave Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Try the wiki in regards to using JB Weld for mounting your PCB's...http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/wilba_mb_6582_control_surface_construction_guide?s=weldYou may want to invest in a cheap Dremel tool to cut holes in your enclosure...

pkniffer Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 ok a little update - the disk drive enclosure would have required some serious cutting to get it to the size i needed, so i opted for something a bit more simple:tomorrow i got to the store to get some mounts and some epoxy? or this JB weld business? which?and to cut the holes for the buttons, a dremel tool is better than a handdrill i suppose?cheapest place online to get one?thanks guys !

nILS Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 tomorrow i got to the store to get some mounts and some epoxy? or this JB weld business? which?If you have a dollar to spare, I'd get some stuff and experiment a bit. I personally love play-doh like epoxy.and to cut the holes for the buttons, a dremel tool is better than a handdrill i suppose?For cutting a dremel is definitely better than sth design to drill holes, yes ;) Doesn't even have to be real Dremel. I'm very content with my 9€ clone. The bits suck, but the machine is nice.cheapest place online to get one?Google ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
