    You should know, though, that the cutout part of these files is just a copy of the cutout EPS file that is provided for the acrylic case.
    I still cannot send PMs but I am still interested in the enclosure files. Thanks a lot!
  • I too am not able to PM yet. But am I correct in thinking it's just the EPS file over this enclosure:

    Yes that is correct, although the design of the enclosure is only based on the Hammond. It has different dimensions and the final version will have it's back in a 90° angle relative to the faceplate. I also added 2 more holes in the back, for the switch and the C14 socket.

    If you were talking about DR.Knob's build, I think you are right. It is just a big panel over a hammond enclosure.

    El Stroumpf's is a completely custom manufactured enclosure.

    Your question was ambiguous or you may not have caught on that those are different things.

    or maybe i'm the one that is confused :?
  • It is just a big panel over a hammond enclosure. The PCB is attached to the front panel and the casing is cut to the passage of the pcb. The rear panel I / O has been pierced with a special drilling tool. It's really hard work. The design of the front panel has been done with the software Front Designer then the panel was manufactured by Schaeffer AG. I worked almost 2 months to get it, since i'm a beginner with software design. :mrgreen:
  • if anyone is still interested in a metal enclosure for their Yocto, I still have 2 units available. Two people who ordered one never got back to me.

    Leave a message or PM me if you need more info.
  • Hi ElSchtroumpf, I'm interested in one. Unfortunately I can't pm you yet.. I'm halfway through my build and was already looking for enclosure options and yours looks beautiful!
  • Last chance, I still have 1 enclosure left.
  • Hi ElSchtroumpf,

    I want it, please!!!! :)

    Thanks a lot!
