MIDIbox SEQ Aluminium Desktop Case

[Altitude]

Where does one find such cute little brackets?

/stupid question

Those are from mouser (http://www.mouser.com/catalog/catalogUSD/642/1903.pdf), but should be available from any electronics supply

I found them in the latest Jameco catalog.

Finally I got a fitting backpanel from Schaeffer! :)

No issues anymore - here is the .fpd file:

I guess this means I have to pull my finger out and get a batch of those power switch/socket PCBs made up... :)

Would it be more sensible to have them shipped with the cases? I like any idea that saves me from more packing and customs forms :frantics:

This still open? -I added my name to the wiki page.

Rock!

[julianf]

just a quick note -

if there are a number of people who want 19" panels changed to 17", and, more importanly, any recesses milled along the edges, i could probably alter them here (im in England, UK)

beautiful panel + box!

I have to find an opensource CAD tool.

Did you make it and use the file exported directly with a service cut-company?

I'd love to learn to design boxes!

We will know the final price in ca. 1..2 days

Best Regards, Thorsten.

[bugfight]

woohoo!

lookin good, can't wait

[gomiboy99]

1 black case added to the list, I hope I am not too late?

Tim..

It's never to late, as we are always able to order new batches :)

Current state: we got 10 black cases. Unfortunately they were a bit more expensive than expected (overall costs ca. 75 EUR per piece, this includes taxes, shipping Heidenreich->Nils, etc..)

Next week I will know the costs for a batch order with >= 50 cases - they should be less expensive.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Okay, got my Schaeffer Backpanel today :-) Question: Which power switch and power insert do you use on the prototype PCB, as well what do you use on the OUT3-6 and BLM (Reichelt Numbers??)

[janvanvolt]

Any news at all for the groupbuy ?

[TK.]

Nils will handle the order.

He is currently very busy with his diploma thesis, but it seems that he will finish soon! :)

Best Regards, Thorsten.

[ganchan]

will be interesting to make 2 rack ears for this case, like nord rack have.

Hello

Is it possible to get a silver aluminium case with this bulkorder ?

Like the prototype from TK.

The color Natural in the wiki page is that color. Add your number in that column.

I'm in for two black cases :)

I'd like to know more about those extruded rails in there too, it looks like they can flex to accommodate different angles?

I'm wondering if rails like that can be ordered from McMaster.com or somesuch.. with access to them we can make arbitrary-sized cases out of flat panels from Shaffer

I've looked. No luck. I'm pretty sure they are made by magical elves in the Black Forest somewhere and exclusive to Deutschland. Slick design though, should talk to FPE about it.
