Re: MB6582_11.JPG
Thats interesting - how do you cut it? Meaning the circular holes for LEDs, encoders, etc. ?

Re: MB6582_11.JPG
hehe, that’s the trick right?
What I came up with was to make on the lathe punches that have the OD a hair smaller than the hole diameter and that have the cutting edge on the inside. Think of it as taking a tube and sharpening the inside edge instead of the out side surface. Then I just apply the sticker to the machined panel, flip it over and punch out the holes from the back, the little ones go very easy and even the big ones (like the 14mm ones in the MB6582) can be done by hand. Results are SUPER clean holes. Rectangular stuff is a little trickier since you have to either do it before hand with an xacto and straight edge or cut it after you apply it. The latter is pretty rough since this stuff does not like to be cut like that and it is easy to mess it up. I’ll have my walnut sides for my seq4 tomorrow so i’ll do a full write up on the procedure then (with pics of the tools etc)

Re: MEC parts in SEQv4
looks very good!!!
i assume this is the last pcb version, with the switch tl 1240???
from the bom i read:
“The TL-1240 are short (8.2mm) so they cannot be used with encoders installed but are wired correctly for the LEDs. The Mec parts are tall and have a variety of caps but the LEDs are NOT wired to anything despite having pads and will need to be wired by hand. The 3 pin LEDs cannot be used with these switches. Only the 3F Mec parts are suitable, the 5F and others may fit the footprint, but use a different scheme for the LEDs that wont work at all with this board”
What are these wonderful caps???
So you manually wire the led on the back of the pcb??
How did you do for the bi color leds , as it was stated not doable on the bom???
what’s the problem with the encoders, i don’t really understand???
many thanks for your tips and hints, i’m looking to make one, and this look wonderful!!
bye
