priced aluminum faceplates for the monome i'm building. prohibitively expensive. circa 90 eurons or so per plate...

recycle one from somewhere

Aww I wouldn't buy one I'd try find something lying around the shed or something

drilling aluminium without a press drill (or whatever they're called- the ones that you lower down onto the plate) is a complete nightmare. i tried it before for my wsg...

take the bonnet off an audi.

 

[chutneyfarmer]

hmm, any other ideas of something to use? not too gone on using perspex

 

[ratmonkey]

Something like this?

 

[theoootini]

that i don't know. nick a road sign? the housing of an old computer?

 

[ann post]

use a geansai.

 

[theoootini]

this is the box i made for my wsg. came out pretty good. the pots were all mounted on the plate so it's definitely easier to house than the drone lab... pretty cool eh?

 

[HMD]

that's cool. what does wsg stand for?

 

[ratmonkey]

Wonosodium glutamate.

 

[theoootini]

weird sound generator

Thats awesome.

Tea cosy drone.

 

[theoootini]

I reckon a perspex Hammond enclosure would be the the business. Should cost about 20 quid at the most.

It's kinda strange that it takes one 9 volt battery or 12 volts dc from a wallwart. The complete lack of offboard wiring should make this really straightforward to build.

Would one of them be big enough??

Still not totally sold on perspex but one of them could do the job alright

 

[chutneyfarmer]

just thinking out loud here, or not as the case may be, but you could pick up one of those Gorm shelves from Ikea for a couple of europes, dismantle it and have nice enough wood sides for it. Still need something for the top tho

They go pretty big, like rack sizes, and have other different designs so I'd imagine they have something that would work.

Did you get that idea from the Gorm pedalboards?

Hmm must look into them so. maybe we could get a few together and save on shipping?

Yeah got the idea for a few guys who bought the gorms for pedal boards, but instead of just lashing velco on it, like I did, they actually took them apart and put them back together in different configurations and reinforced the joints etc.
