Seq V4 case....I think I've become...

Steampunk. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/key-and-peele-steampunk/84412023/

Order from Ponoko.
Bamboo Case.

 

 

Less than $40 shipped.

Ha, now I just need leather knobs and buttons and a gear for the main control knob.

Congrats, looking great! Good idea to get it lasered from bamboo! :slight_smile:

Many greets,

Peter

Looks great! 3mm thick? I’d imagine it’s stiffer than acrylic?

Like it!

You could consider cutting the gear for the dataweel also from wood, two layers with a small steel notch for easy turning ;)

How much was the Bamboo from Ponoko? Seeing how hard it is to get no-indicated 11m plastic knobs, it’s a shame similar in brass won’t exit. :expressionless:

For moar bling and a bit of brass look, you could go for gold aluminum knobs like this one:

Maybe the “knurled shaft” is not the best thing, but there might be other knobs like this one there (also with a smaller diameter and no indicator, if possible).
You probably also need VFDs for full steampunk look! :slight_smile:

Many greets,

Peter

Thanks! It actually only comes in in 2.5mm unfortunately. I was a bit scared it would be too thin. I am still a bit worried about the possibility of breaking it if I were to lean too hard on it. I think Acrylic is a bit more rigid, but over all bamboo is very strong, so once I get everything put together we will see how it goes.

The bamboo is like 20 bucks for the P3 size. All shipped, with their $20 off coupon it was $38 shipped. And yeahI have been scouring the internet for some cool. Knobs. I think for the time being I’ll use the ones that came with the Kit and once I find the perfect knobs I’ll switch the out.

Thanks for the suggestions Peter. I have been eyeing knobs like that. Also looking on ebay for a set of vintage style knobs. I have some regular CLCDs in the mail right now. And am in the group buy for some OLEDs, I love OLEDs. But VFD would look pretty sweet. Only VFD I have is a 2x20. I’ll figure out a use for it eventually.

Also on a side note just want to let you know I love your Youtube channel. I blast your tunes all the time.

Smart. I could do that with my scroll saw and a dremel.
