Success!!! I finally found the depth at which I need to cut all the way through with no problems! I just need to make a bottom and I can get on with bending this prototype!
What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

- Start date
I also have that board on my bench

Got another commission for a Dandy Horse

Customer is gonna have a vinyl decal applied to ape the looks of the OG, so we went with a bare box.

And, that's the last of my commission queue. I get off work early tomorrow, and I'm gonna try my dang diddly darndest to get caught up, or at least started, on build reports and demos.
Didn't get home nearly as early as I thought I would, so no demos, but i did manage to slip this guy in before bedtime -
I think it's easily the most polite envelope filter I've ever played- it doesn't do anything weird or wacky, and dialing it in is super intuitive, even so far as not having to move the pots between the up and down modes

How long does it take to cut one piece?

A bit late for the red season, and quite early for the strawberry season, but it's done. Some confusion with the controls plus a cold solder joint on the output were the only issues here thankfully, I socketed the clipping diodes so I think I might try pulling out the second pair like @HamishR mentioned he did. Some settings I quite liked right off the bat, others had that choked out feeling that I associate with the diodes. Either that or I'll just try changing out the ones I used.
Also turns out the low cut is actually just "low", but I already complained about that in another thread, and it's not a huge deal.
Edit: Might also experiment with IC's since I used a LF353 instead of the 4558, I know they don't make a big difference, but they do make a small one.
Edit2: Pulled out D3 and D4 and now it's much more to my taste.

8 min that’s including tool change for the 2nd job!
1st job took 2 min and the 2nd took 6 min. I slowed down cause the bit was only 1mm in cutting diameter and didn’t want to break it.

Not bad. I expected much longer cutting times. I would also engrave the bending lines. At least small markers at the very edges of the elements.

Yeah i also expected longer cutting times. Ive done enough research to know that these desktop machines are slow but i think the rigidity of the machine outperformed my expectations. I got away with reasonable speeds and feeds. I think upgrading to a 1.5kw spindle helps a lot as well.
I thought about doing that but didnt get around to doing it. I think ill incorporate them in the next job!
EDIT: I also want to mention i think Fusion 360s adaptive clearing methods help massively!

I built this a while back and only a few people have seen it so far, I haven't done a sound clip yet either hence no build report but it's a really great filter. nothing really unusable in the range of the knobs, which is a bummer for the noise makers like you lol. you doing the expression jack? I opted not to.

Test fitting a new version of this little blender/mixer board:
Into this bass:
Each pickup has its own resonant LPF preamp, with different frequency sweep ranges. After many years of messing with these circuits, I think I'm finally getting real results. No problem copping many classic Alembic and Wal sounds now...yay!

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum. I'm working on fixing a Sproing that burned out on an 18v wall wart. I just finished a Phase II.

I haven't decided yet. Gonna play around with some stuff first, and see where I end up

What are you using to cut it with?

A desktop cnc router!

Ok first prototype off the CNC!
As you can see the top is one piece incorporating the brackets. This time I went with threading the actual top rather than going with rivnuts. I think I can still do better but I feel like I’m getting closer to what I’ve been desiring with these enclosures. Any suggestions to make it better? I’m all ears!

Finally getting around to a project that's been in the queue awhile. My first vacuum tube pedal . . . . .
The enclosure isn't stuffed yet. Because the boards are being mounted on the bottom plate of a 1590J enclosure, I'm mounting user hardware before wiring. There will be a shielded umbilical cord between the controls and the boards.
The +9V to +48V, (555 based) power supply board (green) was designed by Peter Singfield, a colleague over the pond.
Looking forward to getting it fired up.
Here are the build docs I have . . . .

WANT. Do you have any build docs?
