i had about 2 hours today to work on the MINIMONO some more.. i got all holes machined to the right tolerances and then set the face overlay in play and did the double bond adhesive. i use 3M SUPER77 . its fantastic on metal and plastic and cleans up real nice with naptha. so it went on like a DREAM! everything was exactly where it should have been. nice change. :) anyway, in that 2 hours i also got about a 3rd of the harware on and set in place.. the pacthfield jacks are always a pain to me.. i just hate doing them.. but its all good. and i wanted to see just a couple (literally) knobs on it before i had to leave. i also got the case assembled, but still have to fabricate the inside mountin rails and the face trim/spacers for the faceplate. i also have to make the armature that supports the tiny pcb for this synth. which is an incredibly minor task compared to the sequencers..
oh... i also cleaned out the holes for the hardware with the dremel and a conical shaped rotary edged blade. it is fantastic for the job and if needed can final trim/grind any faceplate material that is hindering correct placement of the hardware. i heeeeeeeaaaaaaaart the dremel.
the case is maple ply for the top and bottom panels and the sides are solid sepelea. they are actaully book leafed from l to r and the same iece was sliced down the middle long ways... im attentive to detail on the cases lets say.
anywa heres some pics of the the process and current status until i next building session.
Beautiful work, I was hoping to find a nice and logic layout to the Doepfer DIY. Yours is the nicest to date. How do you have these layouts printed?
