Tonka Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hello, I will soon be the proud owner of twin Sammich's and want to pretty them up and give them some individuality with some printed stick on skins (my initial idea is to make them look like 2 mini red and blue electribes, as one is for synth and the other is for drums). :) Before I get to re-inventing the wheel, has anyone done anything similar and would like to share the template? I'm guessing there are CAD drawings of the enclosure design somewhere that I may be able to utilize? I'm probably going to do it all in MS Publisher (simply becasue that's what I know best), but will be happy to upload templates once I've completed them so that others can make their own designs. Cheers! Tonka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I recommend Inkscape. Here's the top panel in SVG format. Dimensions are accurate, but cut lines are offset 0.1mm to allow for laser kerf (what gets burned away).sammichSID_Top_Panel.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Perfect! Thanks Wilba. Just gotta scale it and get my felt-tips out now... :) *edit* Bloody hell - Linkscape can convert just about everything to anything! This is going to be far too easy! Thanks again. :) Edited June 15, 2011 by Tonka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. :) I can print them on adhesive backed vinyl and cad-cut the holes when you're ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I can print them on adhesive backed vinyl and cad-cut the holes when you're ready :frantics: Thanks - that would be great! I was just going to get a small punch tool made for the LED holes and take to the rest with a scalpel, but if you've got access to a cutter that's obviously going to look much better. I've had more idea's now I've printed some templates out - using the 2 lines of buttons as 'platforms' and having various C64 games characters hanging/jumping/swinging off them... Monty, Pogo, the karate dudes from WOTEF, Mayhem, Bub and Bob, Draconus, Exolon, Bionic Commando all living in perfect harmony on my Sammich! And at the top near all the flashing LED's - Wizball and Nifta bustin some moves in the 'disco area'! :thumbsup: Ahem... *Note to self - try to get out more* :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebula Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I can compose music for you using the two completed Sammiches if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilba Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I can get two top-panels cut out of 2mm clear acrylic so you can sammich the artwork in between if you like. :tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Whoah! Moar Sammichz?!

Wilba Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hmmm... that idea might not work so well... it will be 1mm thicker than the stock panel. I probably should wait until my beard grows back and scratch it a bit before going ahead with that. Consider it Plan B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 LOL! A thick sliced Sammich then... Hmmm... that idea might not work so well... it will be 1mm thicker than the stock panel.
