Building the Case

After finishing the electronics, I started with building the case.

3D milled side panel

The idea was to 3D mill a MDF wood side panel with the Roland MDX-50.

So I draw the panel in Fusion360

exported the model as stl file and prepared it in the SRP-Player as described in my Molding and Casting assignment.

I used two peaces of 15mm MDF wood

And after milling, I painted it with black acrylic paint

3D printed PCB holder

To be able to screw the pcb to the panels, I designed a pcb holder also in Fusion360.

After exporting the model as stl I prepared it for 3d print in Simplify3D

I printed them on a Prusa I3 MK3S

Lasercut Shell

The idea was to lasercut a shell with 2mm clear acrylic and make it flexible with a flexcut.

In Fusion360 I draw the shell

exported the sketch as dxf an prepared it in RDWorks A more detailed how-to description is in my Computer-controlled cutting assignment

First I cut it with cardboard for some first tests

and after a successful test, I used the acrylic sheet

the protection foil is still on the sheet

Vinylcut sticker

I would like to have vinyl cut ‘sigth protection’ from the inside of the acrylic shell

For that, I prepared a sketch in silhouette studio

and cut it with a silhouette cameo 4

Assembly

Here are some pictures of the case assembly

8 black little 2mm screws were enough to fix the whole shell
