sammich fpd file

MIDIbox SID
1

Hello, i bought the kilobyte’s sammich and i’ d like to incorpore it into my big machine.

I searched a fpd file and didn’ t find it.

Is there someone who has ever done it? Wilba?

If not, is there a file where i can find all holes positions to make it correctly?

Thanks

There is no .fpd file cause the cases aren’t made by Schaeffer (you might have noticed it’s acrylic and not aluminium :whistle:).

I attached a stripped version the .svg used to make the cases - you can get all the measurements from that.

This might be easier to work with than the SVG…

Hmm, sammichFM Troll is successful?

I feel a strange and sudden urge to buy a new toy…

Where did it come from ?

Is there any subliminal messaging going on here? :unsure:

I’m sure there’s some way we could convert the sammichSID logo into an HPGL file and import into Front Panel Designer…

Inkscape can export to HPGL - that’s kinda buggy though. I found exporting to .dxf and then using some CAD app to convert that to HPGL to work best.

I exported to .hpgl (not .plt) from Inkscape… imported into FPD. This is using the original three-stroke vector engrave artwork used on acrylic.

I couldn’t get Inkscape DXF output into a CAD package… I don’t know what went wrong. But I do agree with nILS… the best way to get vector art into FPD is by using a CAD package and “plotting” to an HPGL file… that’s how I usually do the optimized versions of my FPD panels (MB-6582, MB-SEQ).

If you want, I can get the labels to match the original sammichSID panels.

btw this was just an amusing diversion from packing sammichSID kits… if you don’t want to use the logo I won’t be offended.

also, just noticed the blind threaded mount holes… nice…

Does anyone have SVG files for the sammichFM case? I have the sammichSID ones but I’m wanting to make a custom case for my FM.

 

I’d take EPS or PDF at a push but SVG is best :slight_smile:

 

Cheers,

Wilba has them and they’re .svg.

Thanks nils.

 

I sent him an email but he hasn’t replied so far. I will wait patiently.  :smile:
