I noticed that all Tayda pre-drilled, powder coated enclosures are now out of stock. I emailed Tayda, and Hugo advised I use the Drilling/UV printing service. I’ll give it a try, but so much easier being able to just order non-custom pre-drilled painted enclosures instead of using the new service. Yeah I know - i’m whining.

Man this is a real downer. Its a couple bucks cheaper per enclosure to get the pre drilled va drill service. Probably why not available now. Funny i was just going to order a bunch of ore drilled too.

Was just about to post this topic. I'm guessing they figured leaving ~$5 on the table with each pre-drilled enclosure is costing them too much.

I was recently focusing on all of the boards I had that I could do in pre-drilled enclosures so I could do a bulk order and save a bit over the drill service 
Guess I’m not doing that now lol

I just finished five enclosures on the drill press. This gets old so fast.

i wonder if
Same. Part of me wonders if they're doing some internal re-configuring and/or if there's just too much custom drilling work coming in to keep up with so they're holding off on the prefabs.

Bummer to lose the cheaper option. Although, it seemed like the order progress was no different from using the drill template system.
Stupid question time: is there a single source for all the various PPCB drill templates? I think I have maybe half of them. It can be an adventure tracking down a new one. Plus, I can't shake the fear that I may have altered the ones I have in my dashboard.

I haven't had a ton of time to build but I got a special request for a pedal so I went to order parts and saw this and came right here haha. It was the final push I needed to get the actual drill pattern I wanted with a larger DC jack hole for my preferred style. I'm just happy the cheaper shipping option was back.
I think it would be more beneficial/easier to have a list of ones that aren't standardized. Most everything confirms to the points on the PPCB drill guide in the store.
I bought a few predrilled ones ~1.5-2 years ago and for whatever reason, the circuits I intended to use them on all didn't align.

As far as the 125b drill templates go, I compare the pcb holes up with my drill template/jig and just go off that.
$25 seemed like a lot for a template when I was considering whether or not to bother with it, but it's been well worth it to me.
