I don't share a lot of builds here. Most are sharpie or label maker graphics, and lately most site in a cigar box waiting for a box. But I'm finishing up a couple of projects for my young adult nieces for Xmas. I really wanted these to be unique and have pizzazz. This one, a pharmacist build, needed a good enclosure. I've battles getting hands around graphic stuff, but time is the challenge(actually got a few test enclosures designed while waiting at the dealership yesterday, so, progress). So, I needed help. I reached out to the awesome and talented @jessenator and he was cool enough to help out. It was a realitivly simple concept that I had been kicking around. A few back and forths, some gracious advice and wisdom as I hadn't done a UV print bedore and he pulled it off spectacularly.
Then came me navigating Tayda drill tool and printing which I thought I nailed. Well, apparently I didn't order the gloss layer. That held everything up for a couple days, then I bought 3 switches and 3 gloss layers and emailed both orders numbers over.
Hugo refunded the second order and took care of the gloss layer for me, which was very important as it essentially*is* the design.
Now that it's in hand and built. It's exactly what I was after. @jessenator did an awesome job. Thanks again! My niece will love it. A quick playthrough has me wondering what was up with the boost, it was very mild. Then I remembered it had an internal trimmer. Once properly and promptly dimed, the circuit really came to life. I love it. I'm going to have to build one for my own stash
A few things about the build, the linked drill template in the forum works great, but it does align the footswitch and main PCB holes vertically. This works out great with some male to male headers pins. Just order ahead. What's $2 on AliExpress is $18 on Amazon ...
I didn't do much with the transistors except with the 2n2222a, I pulled a handful out of my stash, measured hfe and populated them for low to high through the circuit. Don't know if that made any difference at all but it seemed like *a* thing to do, so I did and it sounds awesome.
I do have some cleanup to do, leads to snip and apparently I hastily repopulated the white led backwards in my rush to button this up. Doh!
When the angle is correct...
Rear print! Apple Corp
The one off white cap bugs me, but oh well.
A drill template for the trimmers would be an awesome addition.
If I have time, I'll break the calipers out and manually drill it.
