My 2In/2Out midi interface in an electrical junction box for minimal size.
A perfect fit
The GM5 pcb fits snugly in a half-width junction box from the hardware store (OBI).
step 2
added midi ports and LED; standard coutouts are nicely sized for the 15mm dia jacks. good thing that the case is made out of flexible plastic since things are a bit tight. :rolleyes:
Extension board
Added a small extension board for the second I/O which will be located in the lid because of space constraints.
I did my first experiments with laser cutting/engraving on the lid, some labeling and logo. Unfortunately, the soft material can’T be engraved very well, it just melts away and leaves ridges.
fitting the extension board
you can see, there’s not much space in there.
Finished case
The finished case. The junction box has the advantage that you can hang/mount it out of the way in your workshop.
the yellow led i found nicely fits the yellow usb cable.
nILS is right, of course, i 
xkcd. hypnotoad is awesome, too, though. :ahappy:
