offe Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Next will be matt red (white writing), and then, i guess, ill make some more matt black? If you cut some (more) matt black I'll definitely buy a set from you, those panels look really beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Many thanks to kristal, the case arrived here too. I really like the "modular" approach of this case so that you can swap front panel, back panel etc. separately. Now some questions. Although I have already built the Midibox Seq using LPC17 core, I might want to update to STM32F4 later on. Does the old LPC17 core (which I have) and the new STM32F4 core share any common screw holes? I mean if I use standoffs and WB Weld to place the core pcb and later want to get the new core, do I have to modify all the standoff positions then? I guess there will also be changes to the back panel. That's why I like Altitude's idea of fastening the pcb's to back panel instead of using standoffs. I was browsing orange_hand's build quide and he's using those L-shaped "things": Unfortunately I have no idea where to get these. Can someone help?

Can someone help? You're welcome. Would you like to post some pics of the assembled case with your new front panel? This would be the ultimate accuracy test. I'm very interested.

This would be the ultimate accuracy test. I'm very interested. Ok here's the pictures. It took a bit longer to make the case since there indeed was a minor problem. As you can see I used standoffs to level the panel pcb and the LCD's. Unfortunately the case rails are wide enough to get in the way. My solution was to use Dremel and cut small dents to the rails where the standoffs collides with the rails. Now the panel fits perfectly. May work: "angle brackets for D-SUB" Lol, of course. Thanks for the keywords. Sometimes I feel like an idiot :blush: :laugh: Edited August 16, 2014 by coffee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the panel fits perfectly. Yes, I know what you mean. I've pointed out the problem in post of this thread. A normal M3 screw fits, if you use a standoff, there's a standoff too much. Even if you glue it with JB Weld, you have to grind some glue off. See bottom pic of post #52. It's a "problem" of the whole design concept, but it doesn't take much time to solve it.

julianf Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Completed unit looks nice! I looked to see if the whole panel could be offset down a little, but the mount issue is on both rails, so there is no option. If the screw was glued to the panel, and then a nut glued to the thread of the screw in the right position, then it would fit without grinding the rails, but then you are back to the weakness of glue. As above it is simple enough to grind a small section of the rail. That section is not really used anyhow (it was to hold the captive 'nuts). Thank you for the photos. It is always nice to have further confirmation that all is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zephyrin Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi kristal, I am interested in a black Heidenreich Case. I have put name in to the wiki but i m not shure that the shipping price is correcte for switzerland ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristal= Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi zephyrin, Switzerland isn't in the EU, so DHL charges 28,99 € for shipping (Hermes 31,99 €, GLS & DPD don't ship to CH, so no alternative). Also PayPal wants an exchange fee for SF -> EUR. Please find the total amount on the wiki page. . @all who are interested in a SEQ4 case: Last chance to hop on the bulk. Might be the last for 2014: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=seq4_aluminium_case_and_frontpanel_2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smaudio Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hi Kristal, would there be any chance that I just ordered a set of the profiles through you (no panels)? I have customised my Midibox seq and as a result I have to print the panels elsewhere. Let me know Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristal= Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hi Kristal, would there be any chance that I just ordered a set of the profiles through you (no panels)? I have customised my Midibox seq and as a result I have to print the panels elsewhere. You mean profiles with no side & bottom panels? Or profiles with side & bottom panels sans back & front panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smaudio Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I mean without side, bottom, front or back panels, just the aluminium profiles (guides). Or if that's not possible, with whatever panels would be the minimum I could go for (eg. just side&bottom)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristal= Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I guess I can get them as spare parts. I'll ask for the price in a few days and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't get the profiles only, put me down for an aluminium case (it'd be wasteful but by far the most effective way of getting those profiles!)
