matoz Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hello, i bought the kilobyte's sammich and i' d like to incorpore it into my big machine. I searched a fpd file and didn' t find it. Is there someone who has ever done it? Wilba? If not, is there a file where i can find all holes positions to make it correctly? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 There is no .fpd file cause the cases aren't made by Schaeffer (you might have noticed it's acrylic and not aluminium :whistle:). I attached a stripped version the .svg used to make the cases - you can get all the measurements from that.sammichSID-measurements.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 This might be easier to work with than the SVG...sammichFM CS.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imp Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I feel a strange and sudden urge to buy a new toy... Where did it come from ? Is there any subliminal messaging going on here? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matoz Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) excellent! thanks.... :shifty:sammichSID.fpd Edited October 22, 2010 by matoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I'm sure there's some way we could convert the sammichSID logo into an HPGL file and import into Front Panel Designer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Inkscape can export to HPGL - that's kinda buggy though. I found exporting to .dxf and then using some CAD app to convert that to HPGL to work best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I exported to .hpgl (not .plt) from Inkscape... imported into FPD. This is using the original three-stroke vector engrave artwork used on acrylic. I couldn't get Inkscape DXF output into a CAD package... I don't know what went wrong. But I do agree with nILS... the best way to get vector art into FPD is by using a CAD package and "plotting" to an HPGL file... that's how I usually do the optimized versions of my FPD panels (MB-6582, MB-SEQ). If you want, I can get the labels to match the original sammichSID panels.sammichSID_Top_Panel_With_Logo.fpd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 btw this was just an amusing diversion from packing sammichSID kits... if you don't want to use the logo I won't be offended. also, just noticed the blind threaded mount holes... nice...

neilbaldwin Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Does anyone have SVG files for the sammichFM case? I have the sammichSID ones but I'm wanting to make a custom case for my FM. I'd take EPS or PDF at a push but SVG is best :) Cheers, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Wilba has them and they're .svg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilbaldwin Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Thanks nils. I sent him an email but he hasn't replied so far. I will wait patiently. :smile: Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
