I’m assuming that the general look and feel is that created by LMNC, with graphics and make-noisy lines. Is this correct? Or is there a more popular look/feel? ---

That sort of thing does seem to be popular, especially in one-off modules with hand made panels.

Here’s a 1/8” to 1/4” panel I’m about to have made - super random and makes no sense but I love it! 🤣 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/3X/5/e/5e92a946f9c02bb9ab2436fb2793428bf9298e8c.jpeg) ---

Here’s mine so far: It’s my first modular build (first anything build, really). So far I have a 3340 Osc, inspired by LMNC one, then on the top right a panel with the LMNC AD/AR and a Frequency Central More VCA, and then a Frequency Central Voltz Platz mixer on the bottom.

I was tempted to design kosmo in merican units, but wanted to use existing kosmo. I suppose one could always in a custom case, have rows for diff sizes. ---

Sorry, should have specified! This is going to be a 1/8” jack to 1/4” jack with an indicator led when both are plugged in. It’s 100cm wide and 200cm tall - still sticking to the good ol Kosmo format! 😁 ---

You can tell I just woke up cause I thought the module’s dimensions were that small. ---

I remember there being examples of other colors of the PCB used for panels, example being purple panels. The flying saucer knobs are common but I remember 3D printed knobs. Actually come to think of it there’s a small amount of 3D printed panels. There’s a lot of black spray paint on reused plywood look/feel and then the plywood rails with aluminum or brass screws to mount modules. Because I’m not experienced with woodworking I’d like to see a discourse open to how to make a two-part textured coating on a birch case and how to put threaded ‘tiptop’ rails in a Kosmo. I’m not sure if it’s called ‘tiptop’ but the rails on MLDRCase Pro cases are preferable. -Fumu / Esopus ---

How many times will it take to get it right? 🤣 \*\*\*10cm wide and \*\*\*20cm tall! Although I’m not opposed to a 100x200cm module in the least ---

TipTop is a brand name and they have one version of the extruded aluminum rails. Gie-Tec is the source for the rails used by Doepfer. Vector TS600 rails are another option. If you use the search tool here for those terms you’ll find information. ---

Kosmo look and feel? Maybe not. I think there’s most likely a Kosmo smell. The dry throat-catch of recently planed timber and the heady aroma of all the magic smoke that’s been offered up to the great god Kosmo. ---

I’m fence-sitting on it just because while I want similarities to my Eurorack case there’s Kosmo things that might make Vector TS600 appealing… All I want is for them to be threaded for M3 screws but could go for Gie-Tec or Vector TS600. -Fumu / Esopus ---

tried the metal rails found them to be a pain in the ass , I use wood rails in both my kosmo and eurorack cases . 3.5mm jacks in my kosmo stuff too. I will have to admit I have table saw , miscellaneous tools and wood cut offs from jobs , so its cheap and easy for me to use wood rails . ---
