julianf Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Ive just about made a 1-off 17" panel for a demonstration / photoshoot item (just need to finish up the rear side milling tommorow) Ill take some snaps when its done, and people can see what they think. julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganchan Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Julianf, since i'm in italy and i will need probably a mb6582 panel too in the future, i think we can manage a bulk for EU seq. Had you any other contact for this? There was another thread for the mb6582 panel in flea market ".fr" with a nice lexan panel too but seems dead. tnx, G.

julianf Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 No, no PMs, but i didnt expect any yet. Ive produced one 17" panel for demonstration - i will photograph it, and upload the shots, and then see if there is any interest. As for the mb6582 panels - lexan will always be cheaper, but i, personally, do not like the longevity of stickers. But that is a choice for the buyer - i only do engraing. I pretty much always have mb6582 panels in stock - the production of them doesn't scale in the same way, so i am able to make them in smaller numbers when people want them.

julianf Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Photos as promised - Edge profiling - 1.5mm Screen recess - 2.0mm (to match the acrylic screens i was giving away last time) Stand-off wells - 2.0mm If there is interest, im sure i could make the rear panels also.

gtxdude Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Julian, your work is fantastic (as usual). You can put me down for the first one. (Flat black, White inlay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianf Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I dont really know the procedure / etiquette for running a group buy? Im guessing i start another thread here, and get people to add their names? I have no idea at all when it comes to wiki pages. I dont need many to start cutting - just a handfull of orders would be enough to start. Lead time from me is normally pretty minimal, but im wondering if people may want to wait untill the cases are in production? At present, i guess i should ask if anyone wants the green on black panel i made for the demo? Or maybee thats a job for the 'flea market' section?

Davo Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Are these sized for the aluminium desktop chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianf Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Are these sized for the aluminium desktop chassis? Exactly. The 19" ones i was doing before were for standard rack mount cases, but these 17" ones are for the desktop units. You can see silver lines along the top and bottom edges in the photos - this is where these edges of the panel have been profiled into a sort of step shape, as to fit within the extruded alluminium that the desktop chassis are to be made from. (the 19" panels dont have this profiling - just a standard cut along the edge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemming Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 You can also use the wiki to create a bulkorder list.. i've seen that been done a few times, and it seems to be a nice way to go. It will also be somewhat easier than having more threads, i think :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamer Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 A wiki would be nice. And concerning the high shipping rates i would be interested in getting panels in EU. Regards Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianf Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Just a brief note - I have just ordered in some different colour finishes for the 2.0mm low(er) cost panels. Below are some 19" units in the same low-cost style - Anyhow, if anyone is interested, this design could also be used in the desktop case, and would represent a decent saving over the 3.0mm panels. When the metal turns up, ill cut some demo panels, and post them up here to see if there is any interest. Thanks, Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicwarrior Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Anyhow, if anyone is interested, this design could also be used in the desktop case, and would represent a decent saving over the 3.0mm panels. Definately interested, especially the blue front panel looks quite good. But maybe we should wait for the desktop case bulk order to be finished? Has a fitting PCB with the frontpanel stuff been made yet? (It's hard to keep yourself up-to-date if you don't have the time to look at the forum frequently) Which push button types does this one use?

jojjelito Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 This is for Wilba's PCB that uses the more or less standard TL1100F160Q switch that's also used in Sammich, Xoxbox, Shruthi and more other places than you could shake a stick at. The keycaps are available at Mouser or Digikey and are either E-switch TA12BLK, TA12BLU etc or with better grip: the PE series by C&K. Search Digi-key for PE WH, PE BK etc. Those are also found in red and gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 for one thing, you dont need the double holes next to the scrub button and the in the middle just below the LCD, those were only really necessary for the 2 piece prototype PCBs, the "production" boards are one piece so two holes there are not needed, one will be fine.

sonicwarrior Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) This is for Wilba's PCB that uses the more or less standard TL1100F160Q switch Thanks. For documentation purposes I'll link to the Wilba thread: Wiki: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wilba_mb_seq_pcb_bulk_order? I'm already in the PCB bulk order list and subscribed to the thread, :blush: so everything is fine. Just another question: Will you also make matching back panels? I'd like to have blue front and back panels. :yes: Are the 2 mm panels solid enough? Edited June 15, 2011 by sonicwarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianf Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Just another question: Will you also make matching back panels? I'd like to have blue front and back panels. :yes: Yes. Im just waiting on the case group buy to check all the details, but the intention is to produce the rear panels also. Cost of rear panels TBC. Are the 2 mm panels solid enough? They will be more than strong enough for the desktop enclosure. You will be supporting virtually no weight / force from them, and they will be supported themselves by the enclosure on both the top and lower edge. There is no doubt at all that they are quite adequate for the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braintentacle Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hey Julian, So these panels will fit the case from the bulk order right? Just want to double check. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klapauzius Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Hi, is there a group buy running? Maybe i'm blind but i can't find it in the forum. thx Sascha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianf Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Two things - First - due to the issues with the case group buy's im obviously not making 100s of these in preparation just yet, and... Second - we are in the process of moving location, so there will be some points where my lead times are not as swift as they usually are (normally i aim to ship the same week the order comes in, even on custom 1-off jobs) What may be best is if i wait to see how the case issues pan out, and then make up some smaller batches and see how they go. At present (as i type this) i do have a few mbseq panels in 19" 2.0mm format. I will have to check, but i think i have matt red, and gloss blue / gloss black in stock for immediate shipping.

42theflokati Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi, I am also interested in ordering a pair of panels (matching the ). Just for the record ;) Greetings, flokati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m00dawg Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm actually curious if the 19" panels were still an option? I want to put my MBSEQ in a live performance rack so I was also wondering if drilling through holes (the ones normally used for the JB Weld when using Wilba boards) would be an option? Also curious as to which 19" rack you used and if it's available in the states for the 19" panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked1 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I've communicated w/ him recently about a seq panel. I don't think there's a "group buy", but he will sell one to you. He mentioned he doesn't come here often, so try his personal email. And maybe mention there are a few of us who want one now. I'm still trying to decide on color... It's a surprisingly difficult decision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00dawg Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Ah will do, thanks for the help! As far as panels, I was probably going to go black for MBSEQ if that helps your decision :) But I've been there. Hey at least black matches most everything though :) Update: Sent Julianf an e-mail via the forum but that is all I could find so hopefully that works :) I did mention a few folks were interested in SEQ panels based upon the last few updates to this thread.
