I got bored and decided to make the actual "Face Melter" graphics (since that's what the board is called) for anyone who would like more of a PG13 version of the pedal. I added the original layout and the layout for the predrilled enclosures from Tayda, Enjoy

My UV printed enclosures arrived today 
I already knew i messed up because of the positioning of the holes but it was more about the quality of the print and if I set up my Pdf files properly. I think it turned out really good, I like the gloss version better then the non gloss version tho. Now I can order one with the custom hole template I set up and it should be perfect.

Ok, revisiting this one a bit. Got a UV print back from Tayda and, yeah, the template was completely off. Got tired of messing with it so...decided to just create a rough facsimile of the original. It's not exact but does at least have the same components and gist of the original. Thoughts? If y'all like it, I'll finish it up and post the templates here.

Looks great!! I have had very bad luck trying to get the graphic to match the enclosure and kind of gave up for now. I did get all of my parts and my pcb. I just goto get the courage to start soldering it together once i can figure out which parts go into which spots

And...I'm spent! I'm done with this one. Two wasted enclosures due to various mishaps so...yeah, I think what I ended up with is good enough. Not perfect. Definitely not the same exact design as the original...but good enough.

Now, I will say that this one had a mishap as well. Somehow I didn't realize that the LED connection was at the top and not the bottom of the PCB. The drill template lied.
I went ahead and updated my template a bit. Moved the LED position, enlarged the logo a bit, and fixed the positioning of the labels. The PDF version is set and ready for uploading on Tayda or wherever you get your UV printing done. Feel free to update and/or modify it as you wish.

That pedal looks great awesome job!! I haven't started putting mine together yet. Still deciding if I should make one more attempt to get the enclosure right. I believe I've managed to figure out mostly everything I was doing wrongNow, I will say that this one had a mishap as well.

So i decided to make one last attempt at the custom drilled enclosure. Crossing my fingers hoping I got everything lined up right and the I can finally start building my pedal. This will be enclosure attempt #5

Yeah you can add .2 to the hole diameter to take care of that, but that paint really needs to come out anyway, I us a small round file or my drill pressFinally my 5th enclosure is a success. The holes needed to be sanded a lil bit to fit the parts through but besides that its great

It is better! The filter you used over the woman's face is nicer than the faux halftone effect on the original.
I used Barry's suggestion to add .2mm to each hole and all the pots fit perfectly. Couldn't be happier.
Edit: corrected. "Gush" and "Moist" is legit in either position depending on the revision. Butthole Burner has hotter in the down position as well.

Hehe yeah blame the switch on Satchel the image on the steel panther website has it the setup way we have it and the actual pedals that were sold have it the opposite Maybe ours is the same as the actual version Satchel uses perhaps?
Website version Vs Actual version sold

Oh hell yeah! It's like we got the rare OG design, which is even better. It's still that way on the Steel Panther website. Also, it makes more sense for it to be "gushing" when you go down on the switch.
It might just be a trick of the light, but the one on the right looks less vaginal. So I think we got the best version possible.
I still haven't ordered my PCB. Waiting on the Woodpecker to be back in stock. But hopefully, we can get these boxed up and in the build report section in early 2022. Happy new year!
UPDATE: Mouser is out of the CA3240 until March 2022.
I'll hafta wait till spring to rock out with my cock out.
BUMMER: Mouser update Apr. 6: estimated shipping date is now…

One thing I noticed that's out of place is this post. Troubleshooting topics should be posted in the troubleshooting forum. Makes it much easier for everyone to see and find later. Inspect all of the solder joints. Some look to be cold or missing, but it's hard to be sure from the photos.
