Ponoko prototyping


Already found several errors :frantics:

My midibox, modelled

Big ponoko order arrived


For MBSeq + BLM16x16 + my own mixer section with encoders, motorfaders and buttons. It’s a continuous wide panel to ease fitting PCBs inside, and as it will sit as a single unit on top level of my 2-tiered keyboard stand.:sorcerer:

Some progress…

My solitary sanded button cap.


My switch matrix still isn’t working though :frantics:

Let there be light :sorcerer:

A few bugs to sort out with the BLM yet, but no ‘systemic’ problem like with the SEQ switches.

Good lord! Best of luck with this mate!

Re: Big ponoko order arrived

Wow! That is a big effort! :thumbsup:

Re: Big ponoko order arrived

Yeah, BIG being the key word here ;)Cant wait for the final assembly pics

Re: Big ponoko order arrived

Also, I´m interested in how you do your 16x16+X BLM? Got that on my open list… Are there already PCBs available for it?

Re: Big ponoko order arrived

Zomg, that thing could control a mothership armada! May the gods of soldering and assembly smile upon you /public/style_emoticons/default/sorcerer.png" alt=“sorcerer.png”>

Re: Big ponoko order arrived

Thanks all for your support! It is a bit intimidating - not sure where to begin now :frantics: Still waiting for some screws to arrive.

Hawkeye, I have designed a BLM PCB. I haven’t had the big one manufactured yet, but I’ve got the small one (seen on bottom right of panel). This will be my test to see if it is working properly.

I intend to share all my design files once the project is ‘complete enough’ and I’ve found any errors, but anyone who wants a look at a specific part before then is welcome. Just send a PM.

Re: Big ponoko order arrived

Wow. Can’t wait to see that thing finished.

If you’re interested, you can Show Off Your Project at the Ponoko forums.

(It’s also one place where the Ponoko bloggers get pics and info for Maker Stories on the blog.)

Super awesome!

Holy crap.

Re: My solitary sanded button cap.

Re: Some progress…

My first reaction was “MMmm c’est bon ca !”, which means, barely, “Omg I love this ****”
