finally got this printed tonight. I regret not coming up with a different name haha. Whatever.

Jero you've inspired me. I have to make a Fuzzrite. How do you like it?

Love the look of that man. For a different name consider "Meanderthal." Like the Torche song.

Thanks for the tips, Hazel. I *almost* bought a small screenprinting kit at Michael's one day (I had a 40% off coupon, but I think my wife would blow a gasket if I bring home *another* type of hobby thing that takes up space, haha).

The only downside is that I rarely build the same thing more than once or twice. So I'd probably get all the shit to print and then never use it.

It's settled. I'm setting up printing stuff.

do eit!

Also, what's kinda cool about it is... You can have like 12 designs on a screen depending on the size of the screen. So even for 1-offs it could still be pretty easy. Just get a small enough squeegee, and maybe tape off any surrounding designs.

Great. My wife is gonna love this.

Screenprinting is pretty easy but pretty expensive and messy so I just take a once-a-week night class at community college for it so I don't have to to it at home/can use other people's shit. That jig is mine but I'd need some more stuff to print by myself.

One thing you have to consider is when you buy an ink you also have to buy the thinner, retarder, and cleaner (although you could probably use the thinner or some screen opener for cleaning) that goes with it. Same thing with emulsion you have to buy the emulsion and the chemicals to clean it... Pretty soon your garage is a crazy lung cancer den and you spent a lot of cash haha

I get my goods from a store called McLogans.

It would be expensive and messy to print at home but then you have super extra legit builds haha. I guess it's a trade-off.

Also, thanks for the kinds words everybody

Any good "all in one" screen printing packages out there?

I think the best all in one package would be a community college screenprinting class.

But then again, I'm talking to the dude who powdercoats his own enclosures. You're pretty hardcore screenprinting might not be a big deal to you.

I searched for kits on google but couldn't find anything that would be useful for printing on enclosures. Your best bet (if you want to print at home) would be to find a good local printing supply store and bring in one of your finished enclosures and ask them what you need to get printing. They should be able to tell you what inks, chemicals, screens, emulsions, etc to buy as well as a small exposure unit or something.

If anyone wants me to print something for them we can probably work something out.

Might have to take you up on that

As someone who learned screenprinting to save money on band shirts, lemme tell you, it's not hard. I can do it. I'm fucking dumb.

theres hope for me then

That looks amazing, John! Your wiring is purty.

I made a Soda Meiser clone with one of Devi's kits for a friend on another forum. I'm not gonna post a pic yet because I have a little more work to do on it but wow that circuit sounds awesome on bass. That build was a major confidence booster for me. I'm feelin really good about it haha

All three pedals & there internals are 100 % Mammoth
