Enlcosure talk

Post by Jwar »

hey dudes!

Does anyone know if a 125b tall exists??? I need one that's deeper. So annoying! Or a way to make one deeper. I'm open to suggestions.

I'm rehousing a Boss OC2, everything is perfect, but I realized the damn circuit board for this one is bigger than all the others I've done! So it won't fit with the jacks there.

Any thoughts?

Maybe try using multiple bottom plates, and cut out the middle except for the last one?

wasn't there like some led base plate that would also be like what you suggested? like a transparent plastic ring that sat in between the base and top part.

I know that McSpunckle has made transparent plastic enclosure spacers for his pedals that have LEDs inside...

A transparent spacer would work PERFECT! Now where the hell do I get one. Smallbear and diystompboxes has the full ones, but for just a spacer? Any leads???

Can your laser cut lucite? You can get that at home depot (for garage door windows).

How large of a spacer do you need. The lucite sheets are like 3/16 or 1/4 thick.

I don't remember how much of a taper there is or isn't on them but you could cut one in half and drill out the threads.
