Nice, get some pictures of it in action!

Im not a fan of the circle holes in the front myself, I prefer the square ones but try painting it and would look better. Where did you get the enclosure? I may hunt one down for my next build.

Nice work! My 300mw green is on its way from Andy. Can't wait! What DAC are you using?

Nice! I am using Moncha ATM, but it's only being loaned to me, so really all I own is a sound card DAC. I'm looking into getting a FB3 tho ....

That FB3 is sooooo tempting with LivePRO... But im holding out for Pangolin Beyond software to be released and until i can afford it

Nice layout on your scanner. It's always great to see good workmanship on any build.

the rectangle hole......get a small piece of sheet metal and fix it on the inside of the enclosure over the hole?

 

[Things]

Cyparagon: I bougght it from Jaycar.com a while back, though I went in there yesterday to pick up another one and apparently they are discontinued now. I think Andy used a similar enclosure for one of his scanners.

jamilm9: For the circular holes we (I went into the machine shop with my dad) we just used a hole saw, the square ones we used a nibbling tool, file and also a hacksaw blade. As you can see from the DB25 connectors, we decided to put the flange on the outsideof the case, and the holes looked a little dodgy, but we were in a rush, so you could get better results with a little more time.

Thanks Mike

do you know what i could use to cut a rectangular hole in this with

[Things]

That foam would more than likely pull out, but i'd think it would just be thin alu. You could cut it with a nibbling tool and then smooth it off with a file Might be a bit flimsy for a milling machine.

Laser cut!!! ;D you get perfect holes and you get to see a really high power laser! What could be better

Or that, if you have the facilities and money to do it

Just drill a hole in each corner of your rectangle, then use a jigsaw to join them up and finsh with a file.

 

[jamilm9]

i will try you suggestions when i have to cut it. Except the laser one. (don't have a cutter)
