Let's see your finished DIY projects!

Been a long time! I think it's been a year since I've made a pedal. This half counts as I am rehousing my diy megalith. Now to etch and paint and drill holes and populate. I miss this shit....

Really awesome design!

I just finished up these enclosures. They are for pedals with two reverbs in one enclosure. One is a modified dba reverberation machine circuit that also has decay control. The other is a circuit that has an actual tank. These are actually 2" tall 1590dd. There is a send a return so you can run your whole board through so you always have a pre and post vern on tap. Also has an order toggle to flip them.

This is awesome! Love the design of the enclosure!
Cant wait to hear the analogue reverb with the tank, I always wondered how it sounds like.

Waiting for my OLED screen to come in from China, but I think this is my first successful SMD build. Accidentally swallowed a resistor but hey I had a backup to use.



What it is, Ornament_Crime eurorack module. This is one of its many forms:

Sometimes you have to pay a great price to find a component so imbued with mojo...

I'm more interested in how my stomach will handle it!

For scientific reference, it was a 33k ohm resistor.

Edit: Turns out my screen already arrived! Official first successful SMD build ever!!! So happy right now.

nice work!

[cloudscapes]

ohhh nice! love the oled!

I can't even fathom trying to solder SMD or I'd have a go at the O_c. The new Magpie panel is

It's on the much easier side of SMD soldering, I'd give it a shot. The only hard thing is the DAC8852 chip. It's not like you're soldering a SMT32 or anything (which I'm now a beautiful 0/3 for )

It's all 0805, so all the pieces aren't that small. I'd definitely give it a whirl if you have previous soldering experience and want to try SMD out. I heard that either Magpie or Modular Addict is looking at doing PCBs, but you could also try contacting the MX dude on Muff for a PCB.

I can't be trusted with tweezers... I'm pretty competent with through-hole stuff, but I've stared at enough 0805 to know that I'd just screw it up...

But yeah, Magpie is doing a pre-order run of PCBs... I'm tempted to grab one and then sort out finding someone with SMD skills to bring it to fruition... Because damn...

[Strange Tales]

I mean, if you really really don't want to do it yourself hit me up and I'll do one for you. I managed to do that one I posted there by hand, but I'm going to order a Hot Air station soon because I'm tired of fucking up Mutable builds. I swear those STM32 pins are made of paper with how easy they just bend away.

But yea, shoot me a PM and we can work something out.

[imJonWain]

Yeah we actually just got a small hot air oven at work for doing some prototype boards so I don't have to solder sub 603 stuff haha. I wanna try and do some efx boards at somepoint.. Only annoying thing is it seems you got to "mess with the recipe" depending on the board size/components so you may damage some stuff in the process if you have complex stuff going on but I think for simple stuff there's no issues.

they are not made of paper. trained professionals have no problem soldering them by hand. they are well engineered for assembly by machine. IC manufacturers have spent more money testing one chip and setting up the fab than mutable instruments will ever make in eurorack in a lifetime. ST probably does not care about eurorack or hand assembly. that is why ST sells development boards. there is also a trend of through hole DIY versions of MI modules. look for that.

Jokes aren't your thing, huh?
