I’ve Got An Extra 1590BB lid. Need Ideas

[BuddytheReow]

Self explanatory title. I’m only using the main enclosure for a project so now I’ve got an extra lid. It’s painted but can be easily sanded off if need be. Any ideas what to use it for other than a coaster?

Put the face of a pedal on the lid (knobs, switches, etc.). Then design a wooden enclosure or other material around it? Only cause im overcomplicated

I thought about a wooden enclosure. Need to brush up on woodworking skills a bit more and wait until spring so I can spend more than 15 min in the garage

I would love to see that happen! Have you thought about plexiglass?

You could design a new range of tupperware containers with irritating screw-on zinc alloy lids.

building a big "dummy box" SCHMORG

Hello. When I posted a build report on my PPCB Deflector build, I got a lot of questions about my pedalboard/box pictured below: Anyhow, this build^ is a working prototype, but it has a couple super lame flaws that I'm going to solve with my next build. Since there was some interest in this...

Time to schmorg.

Make it a test mule.

Multiple holes in the most popular PPCB drill patterns... Then you can get pots soldered into builds and test before the actual boxing in that build's final enclosure.


I had a spare and gave it to my Laser-engraver friend to try stuff on. It's now got a bunch of little graphics on it as he tested different levels or whatever you test with a laser-engraver. Mine'll wind up on a build with velcro at some point.

I use those and mis drilled enclosures to practice lettering painting, but not nearly often enough.

I use one to put a couple of capfuls of flux remover in. I set the board on it for about a minute to remove all the flux residue as the amount in there is the perfect height and amount without wasting too much.

Practice etching?

If you drill holes for the the opposite versions of the connectors you use most, you can then mount them in and have a nice heatsink/jack stand for making cables. I personally use 1/4, 1/8, 2.1, and xt60 the most. Add some banana jacks for easy testing too.

It’s okay to just throw shit in the garbage as well.

It’s very satisfying actually.

drill to standard PPCB markings, and use it as harness for dry fitting builds and stuff

This works wonders!!!!

Throwing it in the garbage would be RUDE!


Instead, more satisfying, send it to @dawson ...

Oh man, you have no idea how many enclosure lids are in my drawer right now.. multiple stacks
I'm reading some great ideas here though- I'll be trying @KR Sound's flux-cleaning technique next build!
