  • Exactly two weeks after being shipped out, I received my kit today, here in the western U.S. Power section completed and tested. I'm excited to continue tomorrow. (Yes...)
  • Hi effgee, Was your order

    -Acrylic - Black , 3.0 mm, P3 - 790.0 mm long x 384.0 mm wide, Making: $23.37 Material: $21.00 Total: $44.37 ?

    I find Ponoko rather confusing. Does anyone know, is there a simple way to edit the .eps file that Vincent provided, to add some art to the side panels, or interesting decorative cutouts?

    Here are some more Ponoko quotes. The woods look nice, but too think I think.
    - Acrylic - Fluoro Blue, 3.0 mm, P3 - 790.0 mm long x 384.0 mm wide, Making: $23.37 Material: $26.50 Total: $49.87
    - Delrin - Black, 3.2 mm, P3 - 790.0 mm long x 384.0 mm wide, Making: $62.30 Material: $75.00 Total: $137.30

    Best, KevinC
  • OK, found some nice tutorials on Ponoko, and photos of how the various materials take on vector or raster art: http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/materials

    So that leads to question -- anyone got any Roland logo (prefer the -909 lettering and logo) vector art? Best, KevinC

    Here’s your Roland logo: https://www.hightail.com/download/elNKM ... SHhYd3NUQw

    Hope this helps ;)
  • Thanks very much lfo2vco! That's a very clean pdf, better than the scans of the Roland manuals. Interesting that you sometimes see thicker or thinner versions of the R next to the Roland name in the manuals and ads of the time.

    For reference to others, scan of TR-808 manual is here: http://media.rolandus.com/manuals/TR-808_OM.pdf

    Warm regards, KevinC
  • So to clarify, to order the enclosure from Ponoko, should I have underneath the "Your 2D designs" the "tr_808_clone_virgin_v1.0b.eps AND the acrylic box file that is posted in the threads original post or just one of them?

    Actually putting in the design of the yocto, is the most complicated part for me, not building it...:'(

    I've added a picture of my design details from Ponoko, should I also have the acrylic box.eps in the 2D materials or is that just the same as the v1.0b.eps?
