Printing templates from Tayda?

I was linked this drilling template from Tayda for a Rotobone clone but I don’t see an option anywhere that allows me to print the actual template itself.

I’ve never used Tayda for this type of thing so I don’t know if there’s something obvious in missing…any help from those who’re experienced?
 
That's for tayda's drilling service, not for diy. There's not a simple way to get a printable template from that
You could put the coordinates into illustrator.

You could also use a tool like stompbox layout and plug the coordinates in and print it. Stompboxlayout.com

Any thoughts on this -

I imported the Tayda coordinates using the Stompboxlayout import tool and set the print scale to 100 as directed, but the final print is significantly undersized to the 1590BB it’s supposed to map on to (the coordinates are actually for a 1590BB2 but that’s not enough of a dimensional disparity from a 1590BB for this print to be so undersized)

Lay your PCB on the printout and use the center lug of the pots to verify sizing.
Alternatively, place the PCB behind the printout and hold it up to the light.

For sure!
I meant more from a aesthetic layout and proportionate spacing standpoint so that it doesn't look congested in the box or make the controls crowd comparative to the available space for the enclosure. The imported component spacing dimensions don't change with altering the box dimensions so more trying to make sure the template lays out cleanly and proportionately...either something is amiss in the printout (TBD) or this is not a standard 1590BB from LMS (which is highly unlikely...?)...
 
Yea idk, i am guessing it has something to do with the enclosure sizing being odd ball. Is there notes on the enclosure size used. The 125b’s ive done from there have been perfect

Did you buy the Gorva S90?
If so, that's why.
They're 2mm x 4mm smaller on the face than a hammond.

I didn't order a Gorva enclosure from LMS and it says 1590BB on the receipt, so it shouldn't be...? I'm printing 100% to scale and choosing 1590BB or 1590BB2 from the drop down menu, so I'm somewhat perplexed at the size disparity as any other build doc coordinates I've printed from posters here have been just fine...but this is new to me so I'm not yet familiar with the idiosyncrasies of the process.
 
Oh, the Gorva says 1590BB...

But it's not.
Have you compared the PCB to the drill template?
If that matches just center it by eye, assuming the PCB fits in the enclosure.
 
Yea that is annoying they should be a bit more upfront on the size difference.

Edit: oh I guess they do at the bottom of the page show its different. Feel like they should lead with that rather than how amazing this one is…

Well, this enclosure doesn’t conform to either of those exactly!

It’s 117.5mm L & 92mm W measured with calipers at the top/face of the enclosure which doesn’t fit any Gorva or Hammond enclosure in the 1590BB(X) or S90 families…

I mean, it’s fine, as long as the coordinate spacing aligns with the PCB then it’ll all work without issue regardless of a few millimeters, just a curiously anomalous, non-conforming enclosure.

The 117.5 i would expect to be the thickness of the powder coat. The 92 🤷🏻‍♂️

Preach. I thought they were getting better about being up front with the dimensions. IDK if that's LMS marketing or if Gorva is telling them how the verbiage needs to be on the page. I've beat this horse to death already, but I think we should have a new thread that's stickied, starting with what's already been documented:

I’m guessing the electric druid flangelicious won’t either (believe he discontinued it so probably a moot point)

Did you get it sorted? Looks like a fit-to-page printing issue. Even with the scale set to 100, some printers (and phones especially) will still quietly shrink the page to fit their margins. That 5cm bar on the printout is there to catch it: if it doesn’t measure 5cm with a ruler, something’s scaled it, so look for a “fit to page” or “fit to printable area” setting and turn it off.

I got it to scale by using a slightly different method to print than how my computer automatically opted to do it and that seemed to get it to scale properly. Least ways the issues with the enclosure were my template mounting and subsequent drilling... :rolleyes:

I'm honestly thinking of buying a C65 and S90 to measure out painstakingly and chucking a few bare boards in, because I've got a bee in my bonnet about all this. It's either this, or just not responding when someone runs into fitment issues. The latter would be easier, but I've also started a whole sticky about it. I think, contrary to my thread, it would be more economical to simply do the measurements and count on board makers to have accurate dimensions. Thinking ±1mm on each side for margin of error should be in the warning zone, but with more than that it should be safe.

Are the datasheets not accurate?
