“A grinder and paint makes me the enclosure I aint” :))) Why not mount the spring externally?

…at an angle. Cut a T profile into the mount. Reverse the mount. Shorten the spring…cut a slot out of the case as a design feature … I’m done. Hope it works out. Have fun.

Thanks for the idea’s 
Though i don’t really like externally mounted spring reverbs. They are fragile and i prefer them safe in an enclosure.
Also, i would like to keep this one unmodified. I like the sound of it, in fact, it was literally the only nice sounding thing on the CRB Elettronica organ i pulled it from. I never found another reverb tank or organ like it so it will be hard to get it back after i break it.
Was thinking of using the case for a big button with wav trigger, with some nice pieces of oak on the side

After yesterday I now know that shorting Vin and Gnd in Arduino Nano while using usb-power fries something in the approximate area of the usb-connector. Which is weird, as Vin shouldn’t be connected to +5 V which is directly the power from usb, but maybe there is something happening while booting it. The Arduino itself may be ok, but quite useless as I cannot reprogramm it as usb-connection doesn’t work. Well, I use the unofficial ones while prototyping for just this reason, but even they cost 15€ here, “real” ones are 30€. What chip shortage?

ICSP will do the job. I have a couple of duinos with dead USB

That looks absolutely amazing !!
As much as i would love to be able to do something as neat, I think my patience would ask for a divorce.

Looks like the BOM calls for a metric ton of MTA connectors, which right now looks like a good idea…

actually it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be , I had enough slack in the wires only one ground wire on each had to be detached.

the wiring was pretty minimal compared to some I have done , it just looks more complicated because there are 4 of them together .

Brought my Snare v2.2 to solder up with me while I’m away from my bench and forgot my hookup wire XD
I think my words were “I wont be able to rest unless I know it’s working”
Guess I won’t actually know till tomorrow now XD

Thanks man! Merci! =) I had an unintentional bit of cheese cake too =D
Youll be seeing alot of your modules being butchered by me in the recent future =D
Ill be getting onto ur Hit and Duck modules after ive finished the Snare off today.
Ty for your work!

Todays progress belongs here…
Fixed 2 modules VCO and MS20 LPF…
LPF was a simple fix just a short under TL074 and replace the IC.
Turns out on the VCO… i soldered the jacks tip to the switch tab. XD
I had made it aaaaages ago! i swear its been over a year at this point! haha!

This is really painful to post - but I suppose if someone learns from my mistakes it will be worth it.
So if you are planning on 3d printing a set of rails - dont prime them and set them out in the sun to dry.

I can’t find the post but if I remember correctly @juggle had a similar problem with his fully 3d printed panels and rails in a hot climate.

Yep, though in my case it was leaving the whole synth in a hot car in the desert not just rails out in the sun 
I’m still slacking on the rebuild. New rails are printed but only half installed in the case. I haven’t had time to even start on printing new panels yet.

It reminds me of the velostat of my diy ribbon controller which really did not like the high temperatures in the attic of my house in the summer.

if those are structurally sound, I would love you to make janky modules to fill em out
